Sometimes Hillary tries too hard like she's putting on an act. They all do except for Bernie. Bernie is just himself and seems the most honest. Too bad he's so old and I don't agree with him on employment issues. He's going to be bad for small businesses I think. I still like him the best though.
RE: Presidential race 2016 - Donovan - 02-05-2016
Bernie Sanders is a fine notion for young idealists to wrap their black/white perceptions on, but HRC is the seasoned politician we need to break the gridlock in Washington. She knows the game, can play hardball with the best of them, and would absolutely know how to reach across the aisle when necessary.
I do find it interesting that when a woman shows the same grit, determination and hardass personality that would be applauded in a male counterpart, she is labelled a Bitch and it counts against her. Shows how far we haven't come...

A lying bitch or a senile socialist. What is the lesser of two evils there?

I see it weekly. Smart, aggressive women conducting business in the same manner men do will always be labeled bitches and ball busters. I don't think we've come as far as many would like to say, and/or believe, we have.

I agree, and then Bob W. Journalist, says Hillary shouts, OMG, really? She has to shout to be heard above the cackling men. I can't believe that in the year 2016, the double standard is alive and well. The equal rights amendment was signed in 1972 if memory serves me right. The reality is that women still get paid .77 cents to a man's $1.00. And the male candidates don't shout, they yell.....at each other.
I do like Bernie, however, when he said he would have to raise taxes, I wasn't happy about that...and I think Hillary would be stronger in foreign policy which is crucial in these times....I think Bernie has the best intentions and is an honorable man, but lacks the overall experience.
I applaud those women before me and who now fight for our rights; As long as most lawmakers in Congress are male, equal rights for women and other minorities will never be a priority....No, we have not come a long way, baby....
This shouldn't have to be battle between sexes, just afford women and other minorities equal rights. For example, get rid of that ass, Clarence Thomas, who sits on the Supreme Court, and years ago, was sued for sexual harassment, and replace him with a woman...
I read recently that some women working for Trump are being paid less money that their male counterparts...and they are speaking out. How long are we going to be silent about these practices? Discrimination still exists and will continue to, unless we have a change of leadership who will have our backs...
RE: Presidential race 2016 - F.U. - 02-05-2016
Get back in the kitchen. No we shouldn't replace Thomas with a broad. We should replace him but with the best qualified person. Saying a woman should replace him is ignoring most of the candidates because they don't have a set of tits.

You want the best qualified person yet you tell her to get back in the kitchen? Can't have it both ways, pal. You disqualified yourself from having even the most basic of discussion regarding it when you posted that as your very first sentence.

RE: Presidential race 2016 - HairOfTheDog - 02-06-2016
I got a lot out of the Democratic Town Hall and the Democratic Debate this week, between Sanders and Clinton. It's much clearer how the two candidates differ stylistically, topically, and in their approaches and priorities.
Tonight's Republican debate will almost certainly see the candidates pointing out each other flaws, dirty tricks, and perceived pandering & flip-flopping. But, it should be interesting to hear each try to differentiate himself in a way that will appeal to New Hampshire primary voters; hopefully there will also be some detailed focus on the issues and plans.
There are 8 candidates left on the Republican side. Unfortunately, Carly Fiorina did not get enough poll support to qualify for tonight's debate, so it will just be the boys: Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Kasich, Bush, and Christie.
The debate is at 5 pm EST on ABC; ABC will be live streaming as well.
RE: Presidential race 2016 - HairOfTheDog - 02-06-2016
JEB!
I feel a bit sorry for Jeb Bush. He has more PAC money than any other candidate and he's spending a fortune, but he just keeps dog-paddling.
I don't know if anyone else has seen the recent interviews, ads and meetings with Barbara Bush. The ad above isn't too bad (though pretty darn weak, in my opinion), but their interactions at a New Hampshire town hall the other day struck me as weird and a little pitiful.
During some of her recent interviews, Barbara Bush has said that she's sick of Donald Trump and she doesn't see how any woman could vote for Trump. Trump has clobbered Bush when it comes to personal insults and pissing contests, in my opinion. It'll be interesting to see if Trump holds back tonight or goes all "yo momma!" and hits back at Jeb for Barbara's bashing.
I have no idea what Jeb's campaign strategists are thinking. To me, the last thing Bush needs now is to put forth a "momma's boy" image.
RE: Presidential race 2016 - Duchess - 02-06-2016
They were interviewed on the Today show the other morning but I didn't have a chance to listen to it.
I haven't heard much about Jeb lately. It's almost like he's invisible.
RE: Presidential race 2016 - Maggot - 02-06-2016
They're running around like idiots today, 4 Hillary people were outside in the road taking their picture in front of my house this morning for some stupid reason. And the phones were ringing like crazy until I just unplugged them.
