189. She will run like she's twenty points behind from now until Election Day 2016.

So your point--whatever you thought it was--was not even slightly taken. Sorry! And what's that you're doing here? Would it be, could it be .... a bit of that "protest so much" you mentioned? This is a discussion board--if you don't want to discuss, don't! No one has duct taped your fingers to your keyboard and forced you to engage. It's a voluntary exercise that you can eschew at will.

This isn't a reactive, pander-bear campaign that HRC is running. That's part of the reason why she's so far ahead. She's not tossing up flimsy tents here and there, she's building a community, brick by brick. It's why she does small group dynamics and doesn't have a formulaic stump speech. She lets people ask HER questions and she listens to their gripes and responds to them.

Great post, Manny. You really hit home as you can see from somr of the response here. JDPriestly Nov 2015 #78

At what you call satire? That could be correct. MADem Nov 2015 #94
