So Far, it's 1. Hillary Clinton, 2. Bernie Sanders, 3. Martin O'Malley

Liking Hillary more and more. And just a few months ago prior to the debates I was depressed about the Democratic Party chances in 2016.

People only break that work out for strong women. When a man steps up and speaks that way he's "powerful" and "bold."

There is not way she takes the GE. If she gets the nomination, we all lose to anyone of the Repukes.

On Syria yesterday - claiming strangely that it was drafted at the Geneva summit that she had in 2012. In fact, there were negotiations then, but they did not result in an agreement.

The resolution came out of negotiations including a major summit in Vienna last month, that led to other negotiations - involving among others Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia the US and the UN.

The American leadership on this is headed by Kerry, not someone who left office almost 3 years ago.

Clinton automatically gets last place for being the corporatist candidate and for advocating the dismantling the 1st/4th amendment through trying to get rid of encryption.

Clinton needs to retire ASAP, before she does anymore damage to this country.
