Get back with me after the election - when HRC is the first woman President.

Two years is a long time - for a woman ready for the retirement home.

Let’s compare notes after November 2016.

For many years, the white vote has been fairly evenly split. The blacks have been a swing vote for many elections. But with Obama, Holder, Rice, and company, the events in Ferguson, etc. the white working class is beginning to realize that the Democrats certainly don’t represent them.

They are slowly beginning to shift to either independent or Republican.

When the majority of whites identify with the Republicans, the blacks will become a less important as a swing group. They will be thrown under the bus. But by then, it will be too late.

Look at the Deep South. The how many white Democrats do you see? How many white congressmen are there in the South. As Ferguson type protests continue, and the Obama government continues to side with the black thugs, the white exodus will continue across the country.

Hillary is the biggest nebbish on the political scene.
Even judging her from the perspective of the left, her lack of achievement is outstanding.

Another fairy tale on the myth of the shrinking white voter base.

Republicans and conservatives now control two-thirds of state legislatures and a majority of governorships. Rats are bleeding white voters by the 10s of millions. That trend has been evident since the 1990s when millions of families with children fled the dying liberal hellholes and moved to exurbia.

“Blacks will realize their strength in number and take control. They will throw out the white leaders...but at the same time, they will lose the funding. The Democrat party will shortly thereafter cease to exist.”

I think you’re onto something that most don’t see. And once blacks take over the Rat party, say bye-bye to the Mexican demographic; they will leave by the millions. There’s already a race war taking place in California where Mexicans are ethnically cleansing blacks from certain areas. Of course the propaganda press isn’t reporting the racial strife because it would tear apart the fragile racial coalition that makes up the criminal Rat party.

That’s a wonderful story, Cowboy Bob. It’s made my day. :)

I kept thinking of her character as I wrote the following lines:

Die Eiskaltem Mädchen

Wer Sie sind - Ihre Schönheit ist seit langem verblaßt
Sie stoßen in allem Respekt zufällig, wie schrecklich erschöpft
Kein Mann kann anheben bevor Sie, während Sie sein Gesicht leben
Innerhalb Sie verfehlt wund den Geist der wahren Anmut
Erklären Sie mir eiskaltem Mädchen: könnte der Weltbär Sie so
Wenn Sie Herz alle Männer hatten, bevor Sie sicher beugen würden
Aber Sie sind auf Erde in jedem Artfilz eiskalt
Nichts auf Erde oder Himmel kann Ihre eisige Außenschmelze
Wenn nur Sie Kälte, da Sie sind, nicht vom Eis gemacht wurden
Sie würden wieder so schön sein, wie Sie nett sein würden
Der würde ein angenehmer Gedanke sein, zum jetzt zu erwägen
Wenn nur Sie Mädchen diese Seite von Ihnen aufhörten, um darzustellen
Die Frau auf Erde, die schön und wirklich selten ist
Ist das voll von Wärme und allen hinaus Liebe über vergleichen.

In English, its more colloquial:

The Ice Cold Maiden

Who are you - your beauty has long since faded
You come across in all respect as terribly jaded
No man can lift before you while you live his face
Within you is sorely missing the spirit of true grace
Tell me ice cold maiden: could the world bear you so
If you had heart all men before you would surely bow
But you are ice cold on earth in every manner felt
Nothing on earth or heaven can your icy exterior melt
If only you cold as you are were not made of ice
You would be again as beautiful as you would be nice
That would be a pleasant thought to contemplate now
If only you ceased maiden that side of you to show
The woman on earth who is beautiful and truly rare
Is the one full of warmth and love beyond all compare.

Will Hilary win the nomination? That has yet to be seen. It(the nomination) was hers in 2008, but Barry and Bill did her in. Barry wont be there in 2016 but Bill still will so the question is who did her in more?

See my poem!

I think we know the difference between a woman who has true beauty and a woman who merely presents us with the affectation of it.

Looks aren’t everything, you know.

True beauty as the saying as it, like good wine, improves with age.

There’s no accounting for taste.

Like I described her, she’s not someone people want to be around.

Whatever slight hopes the Democrats had of recapturing white working-class voters is currently being slaughtered on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri.

She will pull many who don’t vote a lot. In actual numbers, not a lot. But it will be enough.

The Republican primary will have a number of conservatives splitting the conservative vote allowing the “moderate” to float to the top. Far right conservatives will sit it out or vote third party - as many on FR claim.

So those who want to be able to vote for the first woman president will be enough.

I don’t know about the white working class, but she sure has the drunks sewed up.

According to Wikipedia, there are 41 voting members of the Congressional Black Caucus, and there are 27 voting members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. If there is no double counting (i.e., someone is a member of both caucus), then there are 68 Black/Hispanic Democrats out of 188. That is 36%. With the help of Obama, that percentage is sure to grow, as congressional districts will flip to Republican.

At some point, the Black Democrats will demand that one of them become the House Minority Leader. Not sure if someone will challenge Nancy Pelosi...but when she leaves office, there will be a battle.

That will be fun to watch!
