You don’t really have to be insane to be a democrat but no one has actually tried it in recent memory.

Hillary Clinton, by contrast, is a dreary candidate. She has, again, failed to connect with voters. Her policy positions are cautious and uninspiring. Her reflexive secrecy causes a whiff of scandal to follow her everywhere. She seems calculating and phony.

And yet if Democrats hope to hold the presidency in November, they'll need to hold their noses and nominate Clinton.

At least with Sanders you don't have to worry about bail money.

One of the better quote responses

Well, there is a ringing endorsement. Hillary! She’s dreary, uninspiring, calculating, phony. Hold your nose and vote for her!

Well, 'rats can be equated with liberals.

It's a tough call. I mean, sure, virtually all liberals suffer from some form of mental illness - willful delusions (often evidenced by wild hypocrisy), a pathological need to impose their viewpoints on others... None of these are technically insanity, nor can their sum total be wrapped up under a collective umbrella of insanity.

On the other hand though, liberals routinely do and say things (eg. advocating positions) that demonstrate a break from reality and a complete lack of rational thought. That pretty well sums up insanity.

Question: If Hillary can hold off indictment until she is elected (notice I didn’t say ‘wins’) and then is found guilty, which prison would she have the Oval Office moved to, since I am certain she wouldn’t resign? Would the nuclear briefcase be safe there? Could someone use FOIA to access the conjugal visitation list?

I used to think that Sanders could never be nominated, but after reading that headline, they just might.

"Hillary Clinton, by contrast, is a dreary candidate. She has, again, failed to connect with voters. Her policy positions are cautious and uninspiring. Her reflexive secrecy causes a whiff of scandal to follow her everywhere. She seems calculating and phony."

Quite the endorsement! (But, as the headline says, "The Democrats would be insane..")

The Justice Department won’t respond to a recommendation by the FBI to indict Hillary!. They’ll just dump the documentation in a shredder (same for any hard drives...). And the media will ignore or endorse these actions.
So, in order to not appear incompetent and/or impotent, the FBI is not going to recommend Hillary!’s indictment.

The democrats “Sophie’s Choice”

Vote for a thoroughly corrupted liar with a like factor of -3

Or a massive tax increasing socialist...

Where did you gone JFK, A nation turns its lonely eyes to you...


Sanders on Monday night also admitted he would seek massive tax increases — “one of the biggest tax hikes in history,” as moderator Chris Cuomo put it — to expand Medicare to all. Sanders, this time making a comparison with Britain and France, allowed that “hypothetically, you’re going to pay $5,000 more in taxes,” and declared, “We will raise taxes, yes we will.” He said this would be offset by lower health-insurance premiums and protested that “it’s demagogic to say, oh, you’re paying more in taxes.”

Sanders accepts it, but are Democrats ready to accept ownership of socialism, massive tax increases and a dramatic expansion of government? If so, they will lose.

The fact that a 74 year old white Socialist Senator from a small almost entirely white state is polling above one percent in the Democrat primaries just proves that even the Democrats find Hillary repulsive. Great little candidate they have there.

Other than old radical feminist lesbians does anyone actually want Hillary to be elected President?

Just like Republicans, Democrat voters are tired of the “Establishment”, personified by Hillary Clinton, and want an outsider.

Bernie comes across as somebody who says what he really thinks, that while he’s a socialist, he’s an honest socialist.

This story appears to be an admission that the polls showing Hillary being ahead are lying, and that Bernie is about to win Iowa next week.

Democrats would be

?? These are not the Democrats of President Kennedy's time, nor Carter's, nor even Bill Clinton's. Those presidents and those democrats were FOR THE AMERICAN FAMILY. Bill Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage act.

No these are Obama Democrats; off the deep end and not for the US. They can easily nominate a socialist because they ARE SOCIALIST and FOR UNCONSTITUTIONAL EXECUTIVE ORDERS and to CRAM THINGS DOWN OUR THROATS.

Democrats Would Be? No, they are.
