Had to go and crap on someone's thread decrying the baseless slandering of candidates... Real piece of work

I hope Sander's stops taking the bait. I think there are better ways to respond to and deflect the efforts of Clinton and surrogates to put words into his mouth, or twist the things he does say.

I prefer to refrain from criticizing Hillary. Too many take Hillary bashing way too far and I have little desire to join in. But recently she often sounds pretentious, contemptuous, and insinuating. Not her most attractive qualities. I can't help but wonder if she realizes how irritating it is.

I have a feeling it may not "play" well. But who knows. Maybe obnoxious is the new charisma.

What do I know?

But, both aren't similarly "qualified" in the minds of the folks who are voting in the primary season.

And there is absolutely no standard for how voters measure qualified in terms of casting their vote.
