Hillary supporters, every one of the hosts of that group, I think.

Shame. But I never go there.

Trash group.

That's going to do us a lot of good as the planet dies and the global corporations take over every facet of our lives. What a mess.

Of course, just for their money. Well, she wouldn't turn down any Republican votes, either...as she panders to both.

I wouldn't expect anything to gain traction over there unless it is fawning over Hillary.

It's the entire Democratic establishment, and apparently its rank-and-file as well.

Depending on who is paying him to say it

"Hillary gives a different opinion on the same subjects every couple of weeks depending on her audience and what she thinks it will net her. As evidence of this is now coming out and is going to be presented to the American people in the starkest terms, how can one be expected to trust her to do anything that she says she is going to do? How can one really know what she believes or intends to do about anything? The only things Hillary's experience seems to be good for is perfecting how to talk out of both sides of her mouth, engaging in the politics of personal destruction and other aspects of her ruthless pursuit of power that remind one of what a Karl Rove might do. That kind of person ought not to be the Democratic nominee."

Heck, even HHH had the "politics of joy." With this bunch, it's the "politics of vendetta."

I wonder what Hillary had done in the meantime to win that person's love and adoration?

Regime change in Honduras and Libya?
Plugging war-torn Iraq as a "business opportunity"?
Calling for a no-fly zone over Syria?
Crafting the "gold standard of trade agreements"?
Raking in bucks by giving pep talks to bankers?
Having lovey-dovey episodes with Henry Kissinger?
Her newfound love for the vast right-wing conspirators?
