2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI think DWS would be the perfect VP pick for HRC.
DWS - let's call her "Debbie" - is a complete Clinton loyalist, and will no doubt defend Hillary tirelessly on the campaign trail against the dozens and dozens of vicious and totally untruthful attacks against Hillary's character. Could any other politician stomach that kind of a job? I think not! Furthermore, Debbie is from Florida, and with her sunny and charming personality she will easily be able to deliver this important swing state for Hillary. Also, the VP spot would be an excellent stepping stone for Debbie in her own aspirations to the presidency .... and wouldn't we all love to see that!!! Finally, I think I speak for everyone when I say that Debbie is someone that shares the same level of honesty, integrity, and progressive values in politics that the Clintons have shown us over the years. For those worried who to follow once Hillary (finally) leaves the national stage in 2025, I'm sure Debbie will be a fitting replacement. That is, until Chelsea is old enough to run for high office. Ah, gotta love dynastic politics!

Or maybe it is Chelsea that you object to?

Clear minded and cautious in imposing penalties.
Protracting no lawsuits.
Further commentary:
"The Wanderer". Success through smallness":
the yielding attains the middle and submits to the firm.
Keeping still and adhering to clarity; hence succeeds in small things.
"Perseverance brings good fortune to the wanderer." The meaning of the time of the WANDERER is great.

...i'm reminded of that quote, which I think is Lao Tzu.
But --- total honesty, here... I picked it because it is fire/mountain, which is exactly where my head is at right now.

(86 posts)And who has forgotten DWS greatest contributions to the Democratic Party? Since she became the chair of the DNC in 2011 the Democratic Party has suffered ever since. The Democrats failed to take back the house and now this presidential season Wasserman Schultz has stacked the election in Clintons favor.
