How come Hillary supporters can't present an argument for her?

489. You could have left it at just "...a better candidate than Christie." We...

insist on adding nuance to political positions, which is not a bad thing in itself, but leads to idiotic battles on our side like the word "rare" in the abortion debates. Then we spend more time fighting with ourselves over one word than we do with the other side.

The right has a few issues that are cut and dried-- taxes, "wasting" money on poor people, guns... and they don't waste time arguing with each other over the nuances or other issues. Just get the message out and forget about anyone who doesn't get on the bus. So far, it's worked pretty well for them. They have their purity tests, but their tests aren't about right or wrong, they're about who puts more money into your pocket.

We say we have to spend money to feed the poor. They say fuck the poor, it's your money, keep it. Easy choices there.

We won't get our "progressive" candidates in there until we convince the American people that they are being selfish and short-sighted in these debates.

Now, would I support Christie if he switched parties? Aside from the supreme improbability of that happening, if he were running against Rand Paul or the Moose Huntress I'd have to think about it. Anyone else, probably not unless they found an even bigger asshole.

But, that's a more extreme "lesser evil" than we'll be seeing. (I hope.)
