She decided later that he was being "sexist," after her campaign team came up with it, and she wasn't sharp enough to pick up on the nonexistent "sexist" remark when he said it. Since he never said anything close to sexist, it would have been impossible for her to address it during the debate.

They'd live in the White House again, and we'd all feel warm, and we'd beat the Republicans! Wouldn't that be awesome?

I can't figure it out. We fought Bush; we protested his horrible decisions; we finally got a Dem elected. And now we want to go back to sit on our asses while the world melts.

The couple who repealed Glass–Steagall, didn't repeal the drug war, are high on many's list.

I was the first on this forum to say what caused some to be banned. I still hold that sentiment.

I should add that until I was corrected I thought the Glass–Steagall act bill was veto proof. That's when I realized I had been conned by a Democrat. Or my notion of what a Democrat is, or should be. I don't want an economy run by economics. It sounds crazy, but I believe an economy based on democratic principals of inclusion and participation breeds the desire to nurture, grow, and compete in ways that benefit us more.

I like Bill and Hillary and in 2008 I thought it would be great to have her as president and I supporterd her to the end. But her record as a senator and some of the results of her actions there and some of her actions as SOS and her lack of hesitation to wage war to show our strength will do nothing to stop the world from "melting".

draft Laura Bush.

Whoa, wait...she probably would beat any of their current candidates.

Forget it, bad idea.

Will enough voters distinguish fact from fiction, good from not so good, People vs. Corporate Slave Owners?

The suspense would be killing me, if it weren't for the vicissitudes of daily life that distract my worry center.

And it speaks volumes about the gracious character & integrity (or lack thereof) of both of

Got into a conversation with 2 of 5 co-workers (was so damned busy and tired, didn't get to be the actual starter of a Bernie conversation)...one knows of my Bernie support.

So after a couple minutes, it migrated to HRC...I am telling you and I have been saying it...there is hate out there for her. These two gals BLASTED her with their dislike...and that big old word, TRUST and their not trusting her about anything, was front and center.

I believe she cannot win the Presidency.

( WOW...my 15,000th post! Just noticed! )
