Progressives "settle", Progressive Democrats vote for whoever earned the nomination. great white snark Apr 2015 #14

Yeah, look how the Tea Party has had no effect on Republicans. They do nothing but settle. jeff47 Apr 2015 #20

Well as long as it was *within the law*, because that's all that matters during war time! villager Apr 2015 #24

So now you are equating President Obama and Hillary Clinton with Nazis? tritsofme Apr 2015 #26
