The responses of Jeb Bush, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz were good enough.

Jeb Bush: "We don't want to return to the failed policies..."

How likely is it that Hillary is going to return to his fucking loser ass brother's policies?

that in the Fox News fueled conservative mind: Bill Clinton = unsuccessful, George W. Bush = highly successful.

If my Facebook feed is any indication of the level of brainwashing that is taking hold, that is how the typical conservative thinks. It only works because their constituency knows how to repeat clichés, but they don't know how to read a graph to save their life.

that's all I got at this point. I'm going to keep talking about class and hope that she chooses Julian Castro to be the VP candidate.

The country is very split and it will come down to numbers. Hillary will have the coasts and *insert GOP candidate here* will have the midwest/south.

Overcoming issues w/voting eligibility will be a big factor as well.

I guess I don't feel a real connection between Hillary and her carefully focused images. Seems like low hanging fruit.

It comes from a constant present of the TV...it has become our reality.

May the best creator of images win...substance just does not matter.

Sometimes I feel like I am living in a dystopian Sci Fi novel.

Well done Madame Secretary!

... I am seriously conflicted about Hillary. I dismiss the childish, snotty jabs about things like her "baking cookies' remark of 20-odd years ago, and even the manufactured crap about e-mail accounts. We are long overdue to have a woman as president, and Clinton is, without question, the most qualified candidate there is likely to be in this race.

But her cozy relationships with with some of the planet's most reprehensible banksters disturbs me deeply, and her support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership is, quite simply, unforgivable. Don't even THINK about trying to justify THAT one! She was also a big cheerleader for NAFTA, and we've seen how that's worked out.

If she turns out to be the Anointed One, then so be it; nothing in this Universe could make me support a Republikud candidate.

I would remind everyone that candidates will say anything to get your vote, then laugh off any suggestion that he or she honor their campaign pledges with, "Now you're just having fun!" Those were Obama's exact words.

If her first appointments are Goldman Sachs alumni, then we'll know we've been played... again.

All the stuff that gets the righties in a knot.. Is meaningless. I know people still up in arms over whitewater. Rediculous, in my opinion. The most disturbing thing about the email issue is that it show's she's a bit behind the curve on technology(Its really easy to use two different email accounts on one device. You can even buy phones that hold two sim cards, so you only need to carry one device for work and personal, while still keeping them separate). She has the experience do be president, and there are no number of ginned up "scandals" will change that.

But the corporate connections bother the holy hell out of me.

I won't vote for her in the primary unless no one better bothers to run. I wont vote against her in the general if she is the Democratic Candidate.

But Barring something very tangible to prove otherwise, I don't see her as substantially different than her husband, or Obama. Going slowly in the wrong direction. Better than the Republican clown car speeding in the wrong direction, but still the wrong direction for the future of our country. It'd be deucedly hard to get excited over that.
