Mrs. Greenspan on MSNBC now, rolling her eyes and

making faces when Hillary is mentioned advancing her theory about how many Bernie voters may move to Trump. Kasie Hunt seconding her (hey, notice me) telling how 'she's talked to lots of millenials' at Bernie rallies and they tell her that they may vote 'for Bernie or maybe for Trump'. Upchuck Toad closed out the 'panel' discussion explaining why millenials may vote for Trump: because 'you know, he's going to shake things up', 'you know, turn the table over'.

Where did they get these people?

I don't know if it will work but you could run it up the flag poll and see if anyone shoots it down. It seems more P.C. and yet it's kind of a bigger smack in an off handed way.

If front-runners Clinton and Trump take the nominations, we might see some interesting cross-party gymnastics. A recent Suffolk University poll found that 19 percent of Republicans who wouldn’t vote for Trump would choose Clinton instead.


And a poll last month from NBC News/Wall Street Journal found 7 percent of Sanders voters might choose Trump if their candidate didn’t win.

Wed Apr 27, 2016, 12:02 AM

were expected to change their name for that of their husbands.

You can dislike her as much as you want but to use this term on the Hillary Clinton group?

Would you refer to Elizabeth Warren as Mrs. Mann?

You may want to read about Elizabeth Cady Stanton - you've heard of her, have you? - who wrote to her friends, back in 1847:

"I have a very serious objections to being called Henry. Ask our color brethern if there is nothing in a name. Why are the slaves nameless unless they take that of their master? They are mere chattels, with no civil or social rights. Even so with women. The custom of calling women Mrs. John This and Mrs. Tom That.. is founded on the principle that white men are the lords of all."

On these pages we've chastised young women who take the achievements of women rights for granted. They are not feminists, they say, and are proud of it.

What does calling a well respected and high achieving journalist by her husband name - that is not her - say about the regression of feminism?

No, I did not bother to read your post. The title made me see red.

I call on anyone who recommended this to retract their recommendation.

and to have it on the Hillary Clinton page. I am sure the Sandersitas are now really laughing out loud.

Hillary supporters who recommend this post should be ashamed, too.

Clinton for some time. The last primary night she was visibly shaken when Hillary won by a mile. It took her over an hour to even feign a smirk and tried to pass it off as a smile.

I am no Andrea Mitchell fan and I hope she retires soon... she's become a detriment to the trade.

Her petty snarkiness got old ages ago, so I refuse to watch her at all. Not surprised she was nasty, it's who she is.

I have no love for her and she probably does dislike Hillary, but her speaking style is oddly halting, as though she's constantly exasperated with whatever or whoever she's talking about. It's weird and makes her seem crabbier than she probably is.

27. Poll: Millennials Don't Like Trump
Wed Apr 27, 2016, 03:50 PM

Millennials don’t like Donald Trump, a Harvard Institute of Politics poll released Monday shows.
Hillary Clinton crushes Trump among millennials, who would overwhelmingly support the former secretary of state over the real estate mogul in a general election. Clinton holds a 36-point advantage over Trump, 61 percent to 25 percent, with 14 percent undecided.

with facts. I've spent a couple of hours today reading about how Hillary is the DEATH of the Democratic Party, how all (pick the group you like) _______ are going to leave the Democrats and join in the new Revolution which is now forming. And also how some DU'ers are so perturbed by Hillarys' electoral success that they are either going to 1) take their ball and go home, i.e. not vote at all for President or 2) leave the party entirely and join the 'Movement'.
