Now, what would give you an idea like that? Thinkingabout Oct 2015 #1

"At this point I wouldn't be surprised if supporters praised her for beating someone with a stick" Dem2 Oct 2015 #2

The emotional rationalization exists on both sides but I do feel there is Bread and Circus Oct 2015 #3

I would say the opposite... JaneyVee Oct 2015 #6

not saying she doesnt have lots of policy ideas but I think Non DU Bread and Circus Oct 2015 #29

Her policy specifics: arcane1 Oct 2015 #7

Actually, no it doesn't. The Sanders campaign doesn't have David Brock running a Super Pac funded sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #123

What about the African Americans who praise her handling? JaneyVee Oct 2015 #4

There are many things about Hillary's popularity with PoC that puzzle me whatchamacallit Oct 2015 #9

Maybe you should take the time to understand it. JaneyVee Oct 2015 #12

Maybe you should patronize more. Ed Suspicious Oct 2015 #84

Maybe it's due to the fact that her three closest advisers are two black women and a brown woman. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #14

Is that why? whatchamacallit Oct 2015 #19

I suspect folks are more comfortable with folks who are more comfortable with them... DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #23

Why is there such hostility to "homogenous hamlets"? PotatoChip Oct 2015 #49

In your haste to libel me you assigned "homogeneous hamlets" a new meaning... DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #55

No more than I would assume all homogeneous hamlets are poor. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #65

For the most part, they ARE poor. PotatoChip Oct 2015 #70

When I think of homogeneous hamlets I do not think of poor people. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #72

I'd say something about stereotypical thinking, but I won't. PotatoChip Oct 2015 #75

This all started with you accusing me of being a Republican for referring to homogenous hamlets. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #82

What? PotatoChip Oct 2015 #87
