46. Yes It Is... BUT The NOW Democratic Party Hasn't HAD Their A-HA Moment

yet! They think that by giving Hillary the nomination THIS COUNTRY will see any real change! Everything Brooks talked about is so much like what Hillary believes NO MATTER what she's saying now!

So, so many of us here KNOW this to be true. This election SHOULD be the time for REAL CHANGE on BOTH sides of the aisle! RIGHT now, the supposed front runners won't bring any change. On one hand TRUMP signifies some sort of weird, horrible rising of a heaping pile of crap! On the other hand so many of us KNOW Hillary only means more of the same. Maybe she's not as bombastic as Trump, but if this country was truly willing to look at itself clearly the possibility of REAL CHANGE is there.

What isn't clear about her ties to money and THE POWER BROKERS? It baffles me! Those of us who support Bernie DO REALIZE that he CAN'T turn the mess around by himself or even very quickly. We DO understand it! But we also understand that to go on like we are now we risk losing the possibility of electing a person who has presented himself before us to FIGHT for "we the people" and then we must ask... When will this opportunity come along again???

The TWO people with the HIGHEST negatives are what we are looking at to become the POTUS! What does THAT say about this country?? I have yet to figure it out.

But I do KNOW that with such HIGH NEGATIVES it doesn't say we're willing to MOVE FORWARD and GIVE CHANGE a chance!

This Democratic Party may not be seeing it yet as they laugh and point fingers at the other side, but THEY'RE even unwilling to LOOK at what THEY'VE become!

The Democratic is going to see a mass exodus should we get Hillary. I know I'm DONE! Not hollow words from me, just the plain truth. You may not think Bernie is a Democrat, but HE IS what this country needs right now to begin to heal!

We still have time!!!
