Wouldn't the American voters determine if a candidate is too old as a candidate?

Hillary has some baggage and it wouldn't be right if someone
magically picked her vs the �� voters. ��

So as long as you don't like a candidate you are ok with rigging the system against that candidate.

What happens when they do it against the candidate you want?

"Moral Democrat" is an oxymoron; the Democrats have no interest in the man or woman who plays by the rule and simply wants a level playing field. Their policies revolve entirely around the seizure of power and the twisting of it to serve the politically-connected within their camp -- so when push comes to shove, the individuals closest to the mainstream of power will automatically rule. That standard has governed thugs and gangsters throughout history.

U do know that releasing tax returns isn't a legal requirement. Even if he did, what does that prove? It's not as if it shows his net work. It only shows what he made and paid in taxes last year.

If it doesn't bother you that any election is rigged, you are either doing the rigging or you are cattle.

I voted "no".

  • Bernie Sanders is a socialist who ran as an Independent who caucused with the Democrats and only actually enrolled as a Democrat within the last year or two. Hillary Clinton is a life-long Democrat.
  • Sanders has only limited connections to Democrats around the country because of his Independent affiliation and his only limited role as a Senator. Hillary has strong connections to other Democrats all across the country from being First Lady who actively and successfully campaigned for her husband.
  • Hillary is far more electable than Sanders because of her connections and her experience as First Lady, US Senator, and Secretary of State. Moreover, she appeals to significant demographics that Sanders does not, most notably blacks and Latinos.
  • Hillary knows how to win elections, especially when a large, diverse electorate is involved. Sanders might or might not. Vermont is a small, pretty homogeneous state with a quirky political scene. How many other states have ever elected an admitted socialist in any state wide election in the last century?

It looks like Schultz will be out as DNC chairwoman and Sanders will get to pick her successor. But Kaine was recently head of the DNC and that's now poisoned fruit, this does not bode well for Hillary.

Weren't you the one who wisely pointed out that sounds like working towards a dictatorship? I totally agree!


It ticks me off BIG TIME! I wish our military would pull a coup on these POS politicians here! Deport Mohammed Obama and his Saudi butt-kissing DINGLEBERRY Clinton to the Middle East!

Not surprising to hear this.

Lil Vladie knows how easy it will be to manipulate and dupe a blowhard like Trumpf...
