Feb 2016

There are so many things that she's lied, flip flopped on and made poor decisions about. Things like Keystone, TPP, Iraq, the no-fly zone, money from Wall Street, the email investigation, the transcripts. These are actual issues, not rhetoric. It's almost like the blind support from Trump supporters; facts don't seem to matter when it comes to trust.

take a look SoLeftIAmRight Feb 2016 #11

Sad to say but South Carolinians love people that look more republican mdbl Feb 2016 #12

I struggle to find anything in Hillary's agenda that looks Republican. Zynx Feb 2016 #17

It is already apparent. TM99 Feb 2016 #66

Primary turnout is not necessarily correlated with general election turnout. DCBob Feb 2016 #74

True, and yet TM99 Feb 2016 #80

it has the potential to be the lowest turnout ever JackRiddler Feb 2016 #67
