(10,336 posts)BTW, My vote doesn't even count, the nominee is always chosen before we even vote here, so I will be voting for whomever you all choose. But as long as Hillary's cheerleaders get injecting themselves into conversations, the "news" cycle (wink, wink), and not one rowdy or fiery speech like Bernie has, do you really, honestly think she has my attention? Hardly. Milquetoast, tepid, as if she's just not trying to mess it up until she's presumed. Our country is still recovering from the smoldering ruins, we didn't make nearly as much progress as we should have, the TPP is on our doorstep, and corporate fascism is nigh upon us, and you want me to believe Hillary is going to save us all? I'm rooting for Bernie, yes, but even with his fire, I don't think he will be allowed to fix this mess. Even if. But I'm hoping. Hillary doesn't even give me the idea that she see it that way, so for now I'm dismissing her as being out of touch. Surely I can say she is out of touch without being bludgeoned. Out of touch. And her husband's third-way triangulation is the proximate cause of our worsened state, his "centrist" (wink, wink, read "Republican" ) ways helped obscure the truth the Democratic Party didn't want to hear from Ross Perot. It has all come to pass. Every bit of it. Is she not going to comment on the TPP so she can just say "Oh, it was done under a previous administration, I don't want to go back there?" I'd venture to say, yes, yes she probably will. I'm so sick of hearing catchphrases like "jobs for the new century" or "jobs for the new economy", without any actual jobs to train for. If Hillary wins it will be because of Republicans from both parties.
