Hillary's chances look grim to me. Too many people were left out of the "recovery", setting the stage for another good ol boy style candidate that you'd want to drink a beer with to fill in the vacuum. If they are going to screw you over, they might as well be fun to hang around with. Hillary, like Romney, is about as stiff as it gets.
Working class citizens have been shut out of the political process for decades. It now takes millions to run in small school board elections.
Education reform advocates demand critical thinking skills, and as soon as you apply them to our political candidates, you get attacked for questioning their purity.
Neither political party gives a damn what people think, they only care about corporations. No matter who runs or wins, corporate CEOs will be the winner and the quality of life will continue to decline for the majority, just as it has for the last 35 years.
That is our destiny until we start holding the political process accountable for destroying the middle class and below.
