I am not posting an excerpt but, at the bottom where you can click to join the discussion. Some comments:

Keith Kaufman · University of Common Sense

I doubt that the glass ceiling will break this year....... only thing I see breaking is her ego after she gets defeated...... simply too much baggage... too many lies..... too much deceit...... and basically zero accomplishments..... if you care at all about jobs and a secure America.... I got two words for you.... "Trump Train"

Trump 2016!!

A bought and paid for hypocrite is not what we need as the first woman president! What if HiLiary actually gets indicted for the crimes she committed? Her following Obuma will really screw up America, him and the dumocrates that can't read followed by a bought and paid for woman politician will really screw American.

Luna Davis

How do you just continue to foster the lies? what happened to American Journalsm? When did you all become so 1984? How do you even live with the shame you have brought on yourselves during this whole primary election? I mean, I know you have all been going down the crapper for years but, wow. You all are killing the United States and you don't even care. For shame.

Lesley Cate Donovan · Kingston University, London

I would love to have a woman president. I can think of no worse woman to be president than Hillary Clinton. What a horrible role model. The most unfavorable democratic candidate in the history of elections, someone who the vast majority of Americans do not trust. Please don't ever let her become president.


there is plenty more along this same vein.

she carries (overwhelmingly) is the upper middle class white woman which is the only one that Obama did not carry. I am not saying that is true. I am just repeating what is being said in the comments.

I don't know if that is true or not but, it is out there and it is being thrown around so ... it is just as valid as the rest of this gossip-y election.

stunt tonight, there is not a chance in hell I would ever vote for her. Will regretfully have to leave DU after 15 years too, because I'd last about 10 seconds in a Hillary echo chamber.

I wonder how Bernie's feeling tonight, on the eve of the California primary. He's tirelessly crossed this state from top to bottom, east to west, bringing a message of hope for a brighter future, a better future for the ordinary citizen. And to have to watch while the corporate owned, big money candidate has the unmitigated gall to have herself declared the winner before the most populous state in the union has weighed in because she knows she's going to lose here and is desperate for some preemptive damage control. It's wrong. It's corrupt. It's so Hillary. I wouldn't blame Bernie at all if he said to his supporters, "You're not stupid. You can see what's going on here. Vote your conscience in November, and let's continue the good fight as an Independent movement."

Tomorrow I vote for Bernie in California. Wednesday I change my party affiliation to Declines to State. November 8, the day I turn 64, I celebrate my birthday by voting for whatever downticket progressives are on the ballot. Lesser of two evils? Never again.

Pretty much the same thing. I'm 62 and pretty much have the same story. I'm not voting for her. This was the straw that broke the camel's back. How fucking low down was this? Total disrespect for the process. I mean, how can you accept "as a fact" over 400 SD votes shortly after she starts her campaign? No one was running at the time. It's so fucking corrupt. And I can guarantee nothing will be done.

We are so fucked. Trump will most likely win because of this and lack of votes on the Dem side. I'm not a Bernie or bust person, but this just forced me in that group.

I'm done.
