(24,579 posts)However I must confess that when I started reading your OP, I thought HRC referred to Hillary. I had a few very confused moments, and couldn't decide if it was just a Monday issue or a senior moment.
That's why I spelled it out at the bottom~
Mondays, before a full mug of coffee can do that to you.
I guess, with 2016 coming up I will have to be more careful, brer cat.

(82,849 posts)Doesn't HRC know that trying to do anything in the South is a colossal waste of time and effort? That's why the Democratic party has ignored problems down there for years. It'll never do any good. No sense even trying. It's like that dumb Howard Dean and his stoopid 50-state strategy. Whatever became of that? Exactly! Just look how great Democrats have been doing since we shit-canned that idea and just let the brilliant campaign operatives in DC make all the decisions for where the party could be competitive.

(83,809 posts)You did read what I posted correct? You followed the links and listened to the video as well before commenting, correct? This is not about Hillary.
~And seeking Equality will never be a waste of time.
