I CAN'T be the ONLY who GETTING SO SICK OF HILLARY !!!!!

HRC( arrow right) sure isn't acting like a Dem... Didn't she label herself a "progressive" on Chris Matthews? Yes, she did.

Hillary is a progressive EVERY day. Bernie is a Democrat "some days." https://twitter.com/aseitzwald/status/694635486481141761

Maybe she is a Third Way Democrat.

It is different from the party of FDR.

It is s sad to watch our party set its self up for defeat once again. I get the feeling that Hillary feels that if she does not get the nomination this time she will try and take the party down with her.

and a whole lot of other folks - wonder whether the Democratic Party is the right place for us.

I say this as someone who has voted for every democratic nominee for president since 1992.

The so-called "Democrats" in Congress - House and Senate, sure did appreciate the non-"Democrat" caucusing and voting with them the last 26 fucking years when they had a 1 member Majority. So, fuck you, Ms. Inevitable Carpetbagger.

At least Bernie isn't a RWer running as a "Democrat" (Whatever that word means anymore), when no one believes they are one.

PEACE

If the only people you want to appeal to are Dems, you're going to lose the general even if you win the primary.

Hillary descends into the sewer.

Didn't she punt on the Is Obama a Muslim question last time around?

How any of her supporters can fail to see what a scumbucket she is is beyond me. As inexplicable as the older people (hey, I'm an older person, no ageism here) who vote Republican when the Repubs want to take away their Social Security and Medicare.

Despite immunity to time-outs, I'll refrain from expressing that characterization.
