Then, let's wonder why a Republican landslide wasn't stopped by a handful of Liberal Arts students.

But they'll finally get free tuition - after they successfully complete requirements for GI Bill in the next war.

Funny how things work out.

Sounds like he didn't have a weekly paycheck job, unless he was doing something under the table. Have never heard what kind of work he did before becoming a Mayor.

He describes the films as "radical," and I tend to agree: His most ambitious film was a 30-minute biopic of Eugene Debs.

I guess the sugar shack beckoned.

Meanwhile, Hillary's involvement in the civil rights movement in college grew after she left college. Rather than moving away from people of color who need help, she went to them.

For example, in 1972, she went all the way down to the Rio Grande Valley of Texas to register poor Latino residents to vote. Then there is her anti-segregation efforts in the South, which included going undercover to bust segregationists.

There is a reason she has such a lead among people of color. They know.

Awfully short first marriage but so what? None of it is actually hidden, just not a topic of conversation.
