Boyd was able to interview Clinton for about eight minutes and used the time to bring up issues that are particularly important to Colorado such as bringing Guantanamo Bay detainees to Colorado. Clinton didn’t rule out bypassing Congress to close the prison on Cuba.

“I have as secretary of state supported the closing of Guantanamo and did everything I could do to move prisoners there back to countries that would take them. But I’m not going to prejudge whatever the president proposes because I think we have to weigh all of the pros and cons, and I want to wait to see what the plan is,” Clinton said.

On the topic of over-the- counter birth control, Clinton said she supports it.

“I think that over-the-counter birth control is a real possibility that will make drugs more available and more cheaply. I think pharmacists can play a role in that, but I also think that over-the-counter is entirely appropriate,” she said..................

3. Send some good Karma to Colorado on election day please.

4. Oh yeah, all over the country too!

5. I think the most likely Democratic ticket ...

... Secretary Clinton and Secretary Julian Castro would crush in Colorado, and that despite her gun control positions. Moreover, this would be monumental for down-ballot races in that state. I'm hoping!

6. I am hoping along with you

and welcome to du

7. Yawn

How about all the non violent drug offenders she helped put in jail and ruin their lives. Hillary is an enemy of those people. A million of them.

11. Happy Turkey day.

12. I Have A Friend In Jail

For possession of weed. Years. He won't be with us this thanksgiving again. Because politicians liked the idea of criminalizing people over a flower and taking their property. Bill Clinton was supposed to end this when he got elected. We were all stunned when he ramped up the drug war instead.

13. I have faith that Hillary will do what is possible to

fix the criminal justice system.

14. Then I Understand You Are On My Side

But I don't think she is...sorry.
