28. Its sad when a democratic campaign has to pin its hopes of victory

Sun Mar 20, 2016, 08:39 AM

Mar 2016

on republican lies and propaganda.

The dumb ass republicans threw everything they had against Hillary in a 11 or 12 hour marathon Congressional witch hunting session right before the primaries started.

Did you miss it?

At the end they looked like fools.

They got nothing, they never had anything, and they never will have anything except bald faced lies.

I just hate to see the cheer leading for republican lies and propaganda on a democratic board. SMFH
