42. That is true! She has Secret Service.

Wish they would march together, arm in arm, in Solidarity.
Let Gov Haley stand and watch as she cries those fake tears.
There are far bigger better people in this world than her & the assholes she empowers.
Bill Clinton and any others should join the front row in marching.

It was the same old Southern racists that went after Bill & Hillary both, 25 yrs ago.
Bill Clinton had the Black votes & the GOP could do nothing to stop it, and they did everything they could from there on to see that would never happen again.

Clinton walked in & grabbed GHW Bush's second term from him.
Gerrymandering, voter frard & suppression, & the manipulation of ourSupreme Court in selecting GW as President, when the voters would have chosen otherwise, was ramped up into overdrive.

The Black voting block would be suppressed in the Deep South.
The whole RW stench is still wafting strong today.

It will take our Dem Candidates and another MLK walking arm in arm to put this to rest again.
History repeats itself because it is allowed to.

This is a sorrowful day for our America.
Pathetic, shamful & sad.
Thanks for allowing my rant.
