17. I don't think I am incapable of being unbiased

Aug 2015

I think HRC is the best candidate currently running. I think Bernie is the worst.

I'm not crazy about O'Malley because of the kind of policing he brought to Baltimore and MD. Webb is too conservative. And that is about all we have right now. If Warren were running I might rethink my support for HRC based on the campaign message Warren put together. Same for any other candidate that might enter the race in the future.

So, no, just because I have opinions about those already in the race doesn't mean I would not consider any other future candidates. It's very early, still.

I don't think I am incapable of being unbiased MaggieD Aug 2015 #17

No I meant you're incapable of seeing any flaw in her ibegurpard Aug 2015 #20

How would you know that? MaggieD Aug 2015 #21

"So what is your basis for stating what I think?" frylock Aug 2015 #24

Yeah that would be it. ibegurpard Aug 2015 #28

How does my posting history tell you everything I ever think? MaggieD Aug 2015 #29

I don't care about any of that.. frylock Aug 2015 #30

"I'm not crazy about O'Malley because of the kind of policing he brought to Baltimore and MD" Jennifer Kay Aug 2015 #47

You're wrong on all counts MaggieD Aug 2015 #48

Body language and facial expressions are ALWAYS the genuine "tell" when bullwinkle428 Aug 2015 #11

Brutally honest conversations are difficult MaggieD Aug 2015 #14

I was impressed as well ismnotwasm Aug 2015 #19

They called the meeting "a good start" as well MaggieD Aug 2015 #25

It was respectful.. frylock Aug 2015 #26

And nobody Bobbie Jo Aug 2015 #31

As I said; respectful. frylock Aug 2015 #32

Yes. nt Bobbie Jo Aug 2015 #33

I believe the term was "white supremicist liberals" MaggieD Aug 2015 #34

Actually, it was "white liberal supremacists" frylock Aug 2015 #36

The contrast seems appropriate MaggieD Aug 2015 #38

wahh wahh Jennifer Kay Aug 2015 #45

Obviously you "mispoke" okasha Aug 2015 #49

Hey Ya Jen Kay!!! misterhighwasted Aug 2015 #54

From your posts earlier today: George II Aug 2015 #57

How about we introduce a bit of reality here? okasha Aug 2015 #69

Please supply links to your accusations leftofcool Aug 2015 #80

How is that "NOT getting it"? And I thought she was very understanding and compassionate.... George II Aug 2015 #56

"Eww, Hillary was sooo unemotional", some say. An impromptu oasis Aug 2015 #39

I think she did well. Good to see you Maggie. hrmjustin Aug 2015 #41

I saw the video a few times today, totally different from the first (media) accounts, which.... George II Aug 2015 #52

Yes it's quite different than the media filtered portrayal MaggieD Aug 2015 #55

More of the US "media" trying to bring down the front runner.. specifically Hillary Clinton. Cha Aug 2015 #66

But if you watched the video Jane Austin Aug 2015 #53

Oh good grief. okasha Aug 2015 #70

You're probably right about that. Jane Austin Aug 2015 #76

She filibustered him at the end. It was NOT a dialog. Bonobo Aug 2015 #77

Just watched it again and that "only talk to white people" bit was the low point MoveIt Aug 2015 #81

Yeah she got a baby jab in there. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #84

I'll only talk to white people about it. Juicy_Bellows Aug 2015 #83

They shouldn't have had a dialogue. Hillary should have just listened. DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2015 #59

They asked her questions MaggieD Aug 2015 #60

She should have just listened. I do believe Sanders received that prescription from your camp. DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2015 #64

She should have not answered questions. NCTraveler Aug 2015 #75

I think both HRC and BLM gained in the meeting. This would make the meeting a success. This Thinkingabout Aug 2015 #61
