That's not fair to Bill.

I don't know the man personally. He has a job to do. His job entails nurturing the minds of right-wingers. He gets paid handsomely for it. That does not necessarily have to be his personal views, nor are they relevant.

He kinda has a point. Let's be honest, its been the media/left/hollywood thing lately to attack white men for one reason or another.

However, if she has any advantage, its more so a couple other reasons.

1. The usual media/hollywood backing. Media and hollywood will ALWAYS back a Democrat over a Republican. That wont change. So expect the usual bias we always have.

2. The young and dumb "Go hillary" crowd. She's got name recognition despite the fact the most of these tools know little about her and what she stands for. Nor do they give one damn about her hypocrisy and lies. You could ask them what is so great about HIllary, and I bet 10% could give any sort of logical answer.

Its always an uphill battle in National Elections, no matter who it is running in the D party. It is never easy when you aren't just debating/running against an opponent on the other side, but also battling the "news" media and hollywood propaganda and bias. That is such a huge advantage for Democrats. Basically, FREE campaigning done for you by those who can reach the most people.

Just two minor examples. Do you see the media going after Hillary for her age as they have past GOP candidates? Nope, not going to happen. Can you imagine, if Boehner stood up on the Floor and said "I have a close friend who I trust who tells me the Clinton's havent paid taxes in 10 years. I wont reveal who this person is, but it's what he tells me." No way does the media act the same way they did when Reid said that about Romney. They would destroy Boehner for making such a claim and would never demand Clinton reveal all her tax records.

I havent watched him in a while, but some of you are absolutely clueless when you say stuff like this. More often than not, he calls out the GOP and has praised the left. He isn't some right winger, thats for sure.

The problem is, some of you are so used to the bias media, anyone who doesnt act like them, and be puppets for the Democrats, you think is some crazy right winger or playing to an audience.

When I say that his TV persona may not be his personal beliefs?

Maybe personally he is conservative. My point is, he is not some right wing hero on his show all that much from what I witnessed.

White male? But she's a WHITE woman. Why wouldn't Sarah Palin, Carly Fiorina, et al have the exact same "advantage"? Bill is a bore when he's not witnessing some historical event with his own eyes.

I believe I read somewhere that he is a closet Democrat, just can't remember where.

I have absolutely no time for any TV personalities much less TV news channels. The local news is tough enough. They don't refer to it as "the idiot box" for nothing.

If it's "open season" on white males now, what has it been on black males since they were brought over to this country on slaveships? If white males are losing... Who's winning?
FAIL.. The first slave owner in the USA was black, and it was blacks who were selling slaves..

You'r ignorance is astounding.

Please share with me how blacks come under attack from anyone other than other blacks..
