I believe any democrat could win Scootaloo Apr 2015 #38

You really have to evaluate the evaluator... Look at who was ranked #1 liberal (Schumer?!?)... cascadiance Apr 2015 #52

That metric was based on who voted "yes" for "liberal" bills, and "no" on "conservative" bills. jeff47 Apr 2015 #16

Translation: there is NO fact, at all, that will change my mind. NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #56

umm, who says I wouldn't vote for Hillary if she's the nominee? marmar Apr 2015 #58

Many do, I cant tell who is who anymore, so much criticism of her. NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #59

Nothing wrong with criticism. I'm much more disturbed by monolithic groupthink. marmar Apr 2015 #60

I dont see that here...I see big fans who wont criticize her but remember we are talking NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #61

I'm not surprised at the combative responses. Folks don't like when facts contradict them. stevenleser Apr 2015 #45
