34. Both are hawks and both have their own agenda--that's what I meant

I agree that Bernie would NEVER say or mean that at all. I do wish that I could be more like Bernie when it comes to Hillary and the DNC but the future of Hillary as president is too disturbing.

Obama got away with a lot because he is a Democrat and we were hesitant to hold his feet to the fire. The rich and powerful consolidate their power better under a Democratic president (especially with a Republican controlled Congress) than with a Republican president.

If one of the Republicans in the clown car becomes president, 2018 will see the end of a Republican-controlled House and they will lose a significant number of seats in the Senate. We will fight and fight hard against their agenda. But Hillary, the voices of "she a woman, she a Democrat so we must support her" will dampen any push back.

I actually see Hillary more akin to Margaret Thatcher than to Eleanor Roosevelt.

Flame me if you must!
