That is just the opposite of wingnuts saying candidates that lose to Dems were not conservative upaloopa Nov 2015 #74
Horse shit pinebox Nov 2015 #75
You need to prepare people to accept your thinking first. In 2016 that simply is not happening upaloopa Nov 2015 #100

And yet she pretty much has a lock on the Presidency. randome Nov 2015 #31
And that's a good thing? ibegurpard Nov 2015 #32
It is what it is. A ridiculous tautology, sure, but inescapable. randome Nov 2015 #38
She had a 'lock' in 2008 about this time as well. blackspade Nov 2015 #36
Very true. But she was up against Charismatic Obama then. Sanders doesn't have that charm. randome Nov 2015 #41
