http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/05/heres-obamas-best-argument-against-the-left.htmlThere are so many good arguments in this article. Just one:
Obama: "If you think that the only way forward is to be as uncompromising as possible, you will feel good about yourself, you will enjoy a certain moral purity, but youre not going to get what you want. And if you dont get what you want long enough, you will eventually think the whole system is rigged. And that will lead to more cynicism, and less participation, and a downward spiral of more injustice and more anger and more despair. And that's never been the source of our progress. That's how we cheat ourselves of progress."

If everyone one you run into on the way to work is an asshole, you're the asshole.

Lies, slander & theft of voter data, and slogans (love trumps hate). That is sanders campaign. Because he has no record to speak of.
Loser from day 1 of the race.

(5,038 posts)If the President withdraws his SC nominee on November 4th and after the election President Clinton nominates Obama to the SC and the majority Democratic Senate confirms?
That would be epic!

(9,148 posts)The Repubs & other Dem & Obama haters would never be the same. Crushed forever.
Hillary would do this, but the reality will be more certain with her supporting Dems in the House & Senate.
Man, this election draws such a critical line for America's future.
