they would be very happy like in 2000 to mess things up again.
They are a very tiny minority of the country, much like the NRA is a tiny minority of the total people.
Those haters would knowingly elect Jeb rather than move forward on issues that really,
are petty and only a few care about in the midst of 1000s of more important issues.
Therefore like a bratty child, they get a time out from adult consideration.
Hillary will kick Jeb's ass.
And it takes a Clinton to defeat a Bush, like happened in 1992.
And it's better that it was President Obama first, because it will be so much easier to rule from the left the next two terms and also Hillary can nominate President Obama to the US Supreme Court in around 2018 and President Obama can help then make official all the great things already done.
Dotting the I's and Crossing the T's, 10 steps ahead, rope-a-doping the haters time and again.
One keeps getting 10% so much better than 0% of 100%.
America always changed slowly and it took decades of fracture in 1952, 1968, 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000, 2004 to make things go backward.
We need a few decades of continuous Democratic presidents to take us where we need to be.
And, btw, the Democratic party was never anti-war.
They were anti-Iraq and towards the end, anti-Vietnam, but never anti-war.
It is a great sleight of hand for the haters to insinuate otherwise, when it was not true nor ever has been.
And social domestic equalities and other social issues are vastly more important anyhow.
