a popcorn overdose. I can't wait

Smothered and full of beans.

Wish I said that

instead of a coronation.

I will dearly love to see a little blood spilled in a Democratic primary.

We're supposed to be the Democratic party but here we are being told to sit down, shut-up and bow on cue at the coronation. If we truly were the Democratic party we would be the ones with the vigorous, highly competitive primary for the people to watch and choose.

I can't recall a time in recent history where they're having been multiple candidates from each party.

Who knows if we will have any other candidates with the gravitas of Clinton? I would hope for a vigorous primary just to get democratic issues pushed to the forefront versus lame republican ones. The republicans always have a way of focusing on the BS wedges.

"Told to sit down & shut up" is your own repeated line of poutrage. No one ever actually said that but you.

"Coronation" is your own dig at the fact that currently No One is in the game from the Dems but Sec of State Hillary Clinton.
It' an election not a coronation.And you know that .
Those are your words. No one has said them but you.

I am hoping there are a few more joining because the more voices we have to take on the Clown Car the better it will be for whomever wins the primary a year from now.

The threat comes from the 9 currently riding along in the Clown Car.

Just sayin

Perhaps not but that's only because we're treated to a barrage of euphemism because those insisting the corporate establishment are too embarrassed to say it outright. But go ahead and call Clinton out for the crony corporate donations, BS speaking fees and whatnot and the torches and pitchforks (it's a metaphor) will come out in short order.

There's a reason machine politics are called machine politics. It's an unthinking automaton instead of a rigorous, competitive political debate of ideas. It's how Emanuel kept his office. It may guarantee election wins in the short term but it damages the brand. We will very quickly become known as the party of monied interests when the dubious honor ought to belong solely to the GOP.

Do you think the machine politicians care? No. They will win their victories, secure their legacies and duck out the back door to comfortable lives of luxury while we're left behind no better than before, if not worse.

I find it hard to believe that the party of progress and idealism is vesting its hopes in a candidate who became a hundred-millionaire doing nothing but 45 minute speeches, whose biggest asset is a political machine. People are so scared of the GOP with its corporatism and wars they are retreating to candidates that are corporatists instigating jacked-up wars.

We're not stupid. There are better candidates that actually, genuinely believe what we believe but they're being shut out by the noise machine.

Not a metaphor
