Hillary will be the nominee. Bernie is a nice guy, but he's a self-declared socialist so he's DONE.

Anyone who thinks a self-declared socialist who is only talking about endless government programs can win the American general presidential election is living in fantasy land.

Hillary is brilliant. Hillary is progressive and realistic. Hillary is the most qualified candidate on either side.

I like Bernie at lot. Bernie's heart is in the right place. But his politics just aren't. Welcome to the planet Earth folks.

The country is pretty much done. We keep electing conservatives who answer to Wall Street.

Hilary brilliant? You have got to be kidding. Progressive, now I know youre kidding she is a right of center corporate shill.

If by qualified you mean a she was a do nothing senator and the worst secretary of state ever appointed by a democrat the then youre right, hell she was even a lousy first lady.

Hillary will never be president and her supporters are handing the country over to the tea party.....thanks guys.

Since you seem to think Hillary will do so great in the GE ...

She and her DNC shill Debbie are pissing off 1/2 the Democrats now,
and Hillary has already alienated 98% of Republicans ..

Bernie -- the Democratic Socialist -- has a powerful cross-over appeal, pulling 21-25% of GOP
voters in his home state of Vermont, running against a Republican opponent.

Hillary -- the quintessential Democratic Establishment candidate -- cannot hold a candle to this k
ind of broad-based appeal, and will be doomed in the GE.

Is this what you really want?

But I'm still happy they keep beating the dead horse- red scare tactics are clearly not working anymore, and their overuse just makes their side look worse.
