38. Sooner or later Hillary will have to come out of her bubble and start answering questions

Mon Jun 15, 2015, 10:59 AM

Jun 2015

and not just questions from a select few. When she does she will tank, like she did in 08. If you want to be the leader of the free world you have to have courage to take on current issues head on. She's not doing that, and it will cost her. And us in the long run. The way I see it this time, her goal is the White House and a historical legacy. To do what has to be done for the good of the people is going to require some hard choices and this Hillary is too timid this time around, and too much of a hawk. I supported her to the bitter end last time and I still maintain that there is not a bit of difference between her and Obama.

Where we find ourselves now, Bernie Sanders is what we need at this time.
