108. We all clearly understand. My question stands. Why do you go on and on about it.

We are still going to try to get her to change her mind. Is that what bother you guys so much? Really? You think we have that much influence over her?

The progressives have to get someone to run or H. Clinton will lose to Jeb, because it's well know that people vote for a real Republican over a Republican-lite.

The people want change. Obama promised change but the TPP isn't change it's status quo corporatism as is fracking. H. Clinton is in the pocket of Wall Street and the people know it. They want to get out from under the heavy hand of Wall F'n Street.

The corporatists really are having a hard time with the popularity of Sen Warren. They hope she won't run so H. Clinton-Sachs can waltz into the race. H. Clinton that betrayed the Democratic Party when we needed her the most. Why would we ever trust her again. Fool us once and shame on H. Clinton. She better not try to fool us again.
