I can agree with that but I will take it a bit further. NWCorona Dec 2016 #24

And they still can't answer why they hate her, they just shout talking points, usually synergie Dec 2016 #26

They probably don't even know why they hate her. Negativity has a blinding quality to it. NWCorona Dec 2016 #28

I support blue dog Democrats. We are all products of our environments NWCorona Dec 2016 #25

Wow - that's a serious 180 for him JustAnotherGen Dec 2016 #21

The 50 state strategy was invented by Dean. And it sat on the shelf, collecting dust. Eleanors38 Dec 2016 #41

Agree with you 100% lastone Dec 2016 #39
