I wouldn't mind a Clinton dynasty if it meant we would never see a Republican President

8 years of Hillary and then another 8 years of Chelsea would be pretty wonderful. Then, down the road Charlotte can continue the Clinton dominance over the Republicans. This would be the ideal scenario.

Because defeating Republicans, that's what this great battle is about?

That is the extent of your vision?

So long as a Democrat is in control, all is well with the universe. We can drop our guard, sleep peacefully in our beds, trust that our needs will be taken care of?

I hope you know that this is a Democratic website. Republicans already have a website at free republic.

..The Red Sox Beats the Yankees, Or when anybody beat the Cowboys.
The battle of whom wins is a bragging right, The trash talk becomes
a worthless attack and strengthens each team to solidify.

"Go team, go!"

Even though the team has changed managers and most of its roster and no longer represents what it used to...

if the electorate on the left all believe as you do here.

No it is not always about winning. No dynasties suck ass! No, Chelsea is even less qualified than her damned mother.

People forget that the meaning of Left continues to shift Right.
Unless money is out of politics we are essentailly voting for a republican president in every election.
But who cares cuz we are going to have a woman as president. Sure she's corrupt but its ok because history is being made. No more sexism, no more evil men in the world (to the concentration camps, henceforth). When she puts us in more wars, and continues to sell her votes and office to the next highest bidder so be it because history being made is more important than the issues. It's payback time to all the men in the world. God i wish Elizabeth Warren was running, at least that way they'd have their woman and we'd have our REAL Democrat -- one united party.

Hillary Clinton IS a classic Republican in all but name and women's rights ( and even there she is willing to compromise). She was a Goldwater girl. She represents what the sane Republicans became after the cookoo crazy crowd took over the GOP: trying to remake the Democratic Party into the party of Eisenhower - except maybe with extra tax cuts for their corporate donors. Eisenhower's 96% upper income tax seems a big no-no for those in the pay of Goldman Sachs.

Hopefully, Cascadia would secede before too much damage was done.
