If there is one thing the country needs less than Hillary Clinton making government policy, it's that POS sticking his nose in the middle of everything.

And for all the Clintonphiles who maintain that she can't be held responsible for his mistakes, if she puts him in charge of anything, she owns everything he fucked up.

What amazes me is that anybody anywhere in this country thinks it's a smart move to trot him out and let him babble.

is about not losing the primary there, which with Oregon, and Indiana and WV before that would mean 4 straight losses. And to try to revive some appeal in coal country where he was favored in the 90s as articles mention.

Now they're basically saying he'll be president again, at least in some areas. He'll be "in charge" of trade deals and the economy, for starters.

That's one failed defense that can't be used anymore.

Sure this 2-fer may appeal to the people who already support her, but it will not help her win over Sander's supporters or undecided independents and Republicans.

I voted for him twice and considering the alternatives, I don't regret that. I have no reason to think he has learned from his mistakes, but I sure as hell have. So he's going to be the economy fixer-upper? I'd say the same thing to him as I would to her - How?

Bernie has been very good with specifics. One can certainly disagree with him, but he lays out exactly what he'll do and how he'll pay for it. Her plans, and how she explains them, are so long winded that it just sets off my bullshit meter.

Outside, the world is more like "Zombie Apocalypse"

The Reagan Revolution is over, and Trump's candidacy proves it.

it is time for a new era of Progressivism, and the American public has proved they are ready. This entire campaign has been fought on Progressive ground.

It is time to move forward, with whoever we put in charge, into a new Progressive Dynasty, NOT TO REVERT TO THE SAME OLD SHIT THAT HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE A KNEE-JERK REACTION TO REAGAN.

The Democratic Party has to realize this, or their Party is going to be interrupted, either from inside by Bernie-style Progressives or from outside by Trump's campaign.

we ride to victory. Major victory, even in the Senate and the House. The wave of history is on our side.

Another nice thing is we could do it together, if we unite around what it traditionally means to be a Democrat.
