Hillary can "triangulate" at least 10 votes, right? seaotter Feb 2016 #3

Well said, and you would probably be cited for contempt. Juicy_Bellows Feb 2016 #103

They're obviously proud she was disrespectful. Yet they will post she will get merrily Feb 2016 #104

If elected, the things she'll get done is what I worry about. Juicy_Bellows Feb 2016 #107

The only things she will get done are the things Republicans want done anyway--and merrily Feb 2016 #108

Good point, sea otter. Nitram Feb 2016 #121

They will , of course, extend that same good will to Hillary. seaotter Feb 2016 #122

Not if she breaks the Bernie supporter rule and compromises with a few Republicans to win a vote. Nitram Feb 2016 #126

Obama has been more than open to compromise , what makes you.. seaotter Feb 2016 #130

Chris Mathews is merely speaking the unvarnished truth. Trust Buster Feb 2016 #83

Read the OP again. You clearly missed the point. merrily Feb 2016 #85

I missed nothing, Mathews confronted Sanders with the reality of an historicallypolarized Congress. Trust Buster Feb 2016 #86
