Southerners laugh when this is used by those who don't know how to use it.
OT again - but I agree IF you mean that that is not necessarily a dig. At least not in Alabama where I grew up; it was an expression of kindness. I now learn that it's meant to be unkind? Times have changed.
Hispanic vote up for grabs. They aren't going lockstep "D" like the Blacks did.
Is that right? In every single POTUS election since 1976, Democrats received around 2/3 of Hispanic votes (the only exception being GWB in 2004, where he lost by only 9%). There have been real winners like Dukakis and Mondale, but they keep supporting the Democrats in locksteps. Up for grabs?
Like I said, China doesn't do that anymore. But Middle East Muslim countries still believe in Female Genital Mutilation, and the Clinton Foundation is still accepting donations from them.
China doesn't "officially" do it anymore AT THIS TIME only because the situation has changed.
Don't kid yourself for a minute, if China decides for whatever reason that it would be in its best interests to force abortions, they would do it again.
Their political ideology has not changed and everyone knows it, it is hypocritical to pretend otherwise.
Clearly the Democrats had expected Hillary to win the Presidency in large part because she is a woman and other women would want to vote for her because they would want a woman president. As it turns out, women are not so easily moved. In fact, millennial women appear to like Bernie Sanders better than Hillary Clinton. And among all women, Hillary's lead has shrunk from 45% over Sanders last month, down to only 19% today.
Apparently just being a woman is not going the be enough.
Two new polls released in the past week show women won’t be voting in droves for Hillary Clinton the way African-Americans voted in droves for President Obama.
First, a USA Today/Rock the Vote poll found millennial women preferring Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to Ms. Clinton. Women between the ages of 18 and 34 preferred Mr. Sanders by a 19-point margin, with 50 percent choosing the senator and 31 percent choosing the former secretary of state.
On Tuesday, a Monmouth University national poll found Ms. Clinton’s lead among women had taken a nose dive since December. Ms. Clinton currently leads Mr. Sanders by 19 points among all women, a smaller lead than what the same poll found at the end of 2015, when Ms. Clinton had a 45-point lead. That’s a huge drop in just one month.
If these polls are indicative of the direction Ms. Clinton’s support among women is heading, as voters tend to make their final decisions in the last month and days before an election (or primary), then Ms. Clinton has a problem.
Hillary will win the highly biased DNC primary. Rules are designed to insure that she wins. It's the stuff of Kings.
On other hand, when it gets to the general election, such advantages disappear. King Hillary is facing a landslide loss. She has never demonstrated that she can win a competitive election.

And it shouldn't be. Good news that the young female voter isn't drinking this woman's koolaid. Hillary isn't interested in protecting or advancing women in this country. She proved that when she defended her husband for his philandering and the whole Lewinsky scandal; calling Lewinsky a “narcissistic loony toon.”
MSNBC hosts are shocked to discover that young college women in New Hampshire are offended by Hillary Clinton 'Playing the woman's card.'
Here is a YouTube video of the interviews of some of these young women in New Hampshire and the subsequent astonishment of the MSNBC hosts that the identity politics ploy on which Hillary Clinton's candidacy is largely based is not only not working, it is in many cases demonstrably backfiring:
Hillary is on the defensive as she simultaneously tries to push ahead with this blatant sexism as a central theme of her campaign. It is not working, but if she stops, then what is the justification of her campaign. She wants to be the first woman president. Without that as her banner, she has to run on her character and her record, which has to be kind of scary for her.
The feminist writer Gloria Steinem apologized on Sunday for remarks about young women who support Bernie Sanders, not long after Hillary Clinton defended Madeleine Albright over her comment that there is “a special place in hell” for women who do not support Clinton.
“I don’t want people to be offended,” Clinton said. But when asked if she understood why some women did take offense, she suggested political correctness had made Americans overly sensitive. “Good grief, we’re getting offended by everything these days!” she said. “People can’t say anything without offending somebody.”
Sanders won 84% of people aged 17 to 29 in Iowa, and 58% of those aged 30 to 44, according to NBC exit polls. According to a USA Today/Rock the Vote poll, 50% of Democratic and independent women between the ages of 18 and 34 prefer Sanders to Clinton.
One supporter in New York told the Guardian on Saturday she could “list a million reasons why I prefer Bernie to Hillary”. Another described Steinem’s comments as “the worst kind of sweeping generalization I’ve heard in years about women my age”.
