I don't understand why you think it's so important that people who recognize hillary as the corporate piece of... work that she is, have another candidate at this point. I've known since she voted for the IWR that I could never vote for her in a primary.

In any case, I actually don't think she'll ever be elected as President. Yes, I know that's a minority view.

Top blame to the NJ Democratic turncoats but plenty left over for national "leaders" Jim Lane Feb 2014 #15

This is true. Plenty of blame to spread around. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #16
