It's gotta be rough being a Democrat this year. Looks at your options. One, a particularly vile, corrupt, incompetent old fool. One with a lifetime of disdain and contempt for the American people. One who, when asked about Americans that were slaughtered under her watch first lied to the American people repeatedly, then says "What difference does it make anyway? How would you like to be a family member of one of the Benghazi victims and hear this hate coming from a presidential candidate?

Or perhaps worse, a self avowed socialist. One with a history of supporting the Soviet Union when they were mortal enemies of the United States. One that has never worked an actual, productive job in his adult life. That never lays out an actual plan, but promises more free crap than Santa Claus, and who can only screech "Tax the Rich, Tax the Rich". One who, as an adult with an upper middle class income has a credit card debt of some $65k. One who has never worked in a private business, but condemns them as evil.

The Republican party isn't exactly a shining example, given Trump and Bush as examples. But they have (and had more) candidates with solid credentials, a lifetime of success and progress and the ability to actually work with others. Heck, even Trump is far better than the remaining Dem choices. The only Dem candidate that actually came across as reasonable and intelligent, and didn't fight the others as to who could promise the most free crap was Jim Webb...and the party tossed him as soon as he showed up and actually looked like a leader.

Whatever happened in the Democratic Party this year is downright undemocratic. I think some of the back room deals that must have been made would be all time greats.

Say what you want about the remaining republicans, but they were chosen by the people. It started with 17 choices, full of diverse backgrounds, race, professions. The dems were just told it would be Hillary without a single other option. It would be like if the republicans ran Jeb Bush (but under FBI investigation) and Ron Paul.

Good point-gotta give credit where it's due, the Republicans had diverse candidates (and many) this year.
Nobody wanted to disrupt "the promised one" in the Democratic race.

I personally would have loved to see Ron Paul versus Bernie Sanders-those debates would be so interesting.

Hillary would (will) do a pretty decent job once she crushes that racist clown in the general.

To be perfectly fair, we've already had 7+ years of a steaming turd sitting in the Blight House.

Shouldn't we give someone else a turn?

I look at the clown car that is the Republican party, and then I look at the orange-faced, frizzy haired, big-mouthed lead clown, and I thank God every waking moment that I'm a Democrat.

The sad thing is Democrats had the worst choices by far and we are still going to end up with arguably the worst Presdential candidate in history.

They don't care about their crappy candidates. Democrats exist to demonize Republicans by stoking fear and resentment.

I think whatever backroom deals were made were made a long time ago.

Hillary and Obama disappeared for a secret meeting in 2008 in VA.
2 days later Hillary dropped out of the race.

A mere coincidence..the Biderberg meeting, normally held in Europe, was held in Chantilly VA and was going on at the same time Obama and Hillary disappeared.

You go ahead and connect the dots.

Jim Messina attended last year's Bilderberg meeting. Hillary traveling to Austria would have been noticed.
