Hillary is being held up to a purity test that none of the candidates can pass, even Sanders and his uponit7771 Oct 2015 #19

The OP is yet another repetition of something from 20 years ago to say.... Armstead Oct 2015 #25

Is it fair to say all politicians are imperfect? DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #55
