You could watch the video instead of lying

Quick question - why exactly are you supporting Hillary? As a dem, I can't stand the woman after she did nothing but use NY for a stepping stone to the White House. I will admit I was never a fan of hers before that she didn't dump Bill's behind after he cheated on her in the White House no less and would have had more respect for her as a woman if she had kicked his butt to the curb and stood up for women, who's husbands can't keep it in their pants.

Her later actions as Sec of State and now the email scandal show me she is not trustworthy - so what exactly attracts people to Hillary? I just don't get the love.

I heard that Clinton will lose Washington, Oregon, and California and so it's not even set in stone that Clinton will be the nominee.


Also, Clinton is being indicted...
This one is just hilarious! You "heard" something???

Well, we don't know the people on Wall Street backing her, either.

Are you kidding. There was huge cheering at that massive crowd.

Not true at ALL. This is the same type of post that others use when they claim that Trump's rallys have poor turnout....hoping the uninformed will fall for the lies.

There was massive cheering. Watch the rally.

The anti-war movement did not care if we left in defeat. In fact, they hoped we did just so the Ugly American learned a lesson.
I am not clear as to what defeat means in the context of Iraq. The Iraq invasion was an unnecessary and costly action on many levels. The main argument for the war was to eliminate WMD that ended up not existing in the first place. Continuing a mistake makes it more of a mistake.

The quote from Reid stating "the war is lost," was made over four years after the invasion. It took the allies four years to win World Wat II.

On the topic, Jeff Sessions is about the stupidest Senator out of the 100. This is the guy who said, Marijuana Can't Be Safer Than Alcohol Because 'Lady Gaga Says She's Addicted to It'. NY Magazine did a funny piece on Sessions.

Frankly, anyone who knows who Jeff Sessions is was going to vote for Mr. Trump (or maybe Cruz) anyway. Makes zero difference for the general.

Well now, Trump's surely got the Republican nomination sewn up. We all know how Pubbies love those brave advocates for white supremacy.

Impressive oppo research! Very timely.

See, Sessions is a RINO, too.
