with honor and integrity, I would have thought her a good second choice. She has proven that she would cheat and steal to get what she wants. That being the case, if she wants to control something in another country, I have NO DOUBT she would go in and take it, no matter who it hurts. I can't believe any one could support this woman unless there is something personally in it for them.

plus the thinking it's so important to have a woman as president.like it would provide change.

The democratic party has exposed itself.and they are corporate and neocon party.

no matter how they voted on iraq if they were in house or senate at time by supporting clinton they support her enocon policys.

no matter who they voted on tpp and economic issues by supporting clinton they are supporting trade deals and for corporations.

Clinton is benefiting from citizen's united with the super pacs.do people really think she wants to end it.

and let's not get into how the primarys were filled with fraud and supression.

The democratic party agrees with bill clinton that bernie supporters are like the tea party and we want to shoot bankers.Not one
dem has denounced or critzed him.just like black dem leaders are fine with clintons super predators comments and going off on
blm.they even helped clinton swiftboat bernie on race.

who is going hat in hand to Bush donors. She's out of money. The coronation did not happen in time.

Bernie is funded by people like me. Ten, twenty, fifty a month. I'm on auto deduct until it's over. Unless there are some closet GOPers on his email list who are supporting him, well, that's on them.

But maybe you don't read and listen...just trot out random verbage.

is an exercise in self-torment. They can't even spell Bernie's last name right, let alone make any honest and correct statements about him. I'd put them on "ignore" except - seeing their repeatedly ridiculous posts serves to remind me of the IQ strata that clings to their Liar aspirant.

LOL! Ya hafta wonder what song they're gonna sing when Hill's either indicted or loses to Trump. If she loses to Trump, we can bet our sweet butts that it'll be the fault of that Sander guy!

I agree. Don't give him attention because he's not for real. I just wrote my last post to him on the "Bernie claiming he's winning." Reality is not his friend.

43. We need to tear down Hartman lies about Dem party: He just bashes people
Fri May 20, 2016, 12:06 PM
May 2016

who work for the DNC that put themselves in the actual fight against
the GOP: Like Sanders Hartman is nothing but hot air, he has never
been in a real fight against the GOP: he leaves it to others to carry his
water like the other Dem's party people he bashes.


Sanders shouldn't have been given access to the DNC ballots, he has no
respect for anyone but himself.

The Dem party promotes team work among liberals it's not a cult like Sanders and
Hartman are promoting

Stopped listening to TH daily after it became clear that he was a fall-in-line type of guy...without using those words. If I want to goose-step with a party, I know which one to join.

The Clintons have long worn out their welcome in American politics. It wasn't enough for them to have the WH for 8 years; it wasn't enough for her to be SoS; it wasn't enough for both of them to use their legacies to pocket over $150-million....while elder statesmen like Jimmy Carter uses his legacy to spread goodwill and to build houses for poor people.

It's never enough with the Clintons. What exactly is it that compels her to run? World domination? To relive the glory days of a Clinton WH, complete with one damned scandal after another?

I can't WISH these people out of my life, order them out of my home. They linger, they come back like a bad cold, they insist on dropping in even though my drapes are drawn and I'm pretending to be away.

The display in Nevada, the lying, the cheating, the authoritarianism that was on full display: NO THANKS, HILLARY. You and your surrogates, all of your lying establishment friends, can take your phony claims of "throwing chairs, and engaging in violence and threats" (DWS), pack up your bags, and go find another party to destroy.

"why isn't he apologizing to The Black Candidate?" "how can we raise the smallest question about this righteous anger?"

it was just the usual guilty tender liberalism: of course as it turned out the unaffiliated protesters hadn't the slightest idea of who the geezer they shoved was and within a month only one candidate had to be repeatedly protested by BLM anymore

this country and around the globe is incalculable.

He pretty much gave you what you've been feeding us. Get out, get active, tag, you're it.

This guy wants what we all want in a leader;someone we trust who is on our side and will back up our needs and wishes. He spoke for thousands, possibly millions of us who get nothing we want with a Hillary Clinton presidency. She does not foster any trust with us. She has shifted her positions too many times, just for votes. What truly are her core values? I know exactly what Bernie's are. But what I see with her is someone out to help her cronies in business. And that is a direct and opposite correlation to what Sanders supporters want.

And your SCOTUS argument doesn't wash with me. There is absolutely zero guaranty that Hillary will give us a true liberal justice nomination. If Obama can't or won't give us one, why would she since she's further right that Obama is?

Lastly, why are you more pro-Bernie on RT's The Big Picture than you are on your FSTV broadcast? There is a definite difference.
