I am surprised that H. Clinton-Sachs actually gave speeches in person. She could have sent them a podcast.

Accuracy: Not a word Cenk says is verifiable. Right?

Coherence: He just couldn't stay on topic. One minute it's HRC and Goldman Sachs and the next it's what he had for lunch. Right?

Relevance: Masquerading as a populist when all the evidence suggests you carry water for Wall Street is obviously irrelevant to running for President as a democrat. Right?

How do you vow to take on inequality while most of us know you're part of the ruling class and rub elbows with them, often for big cash. She's going to bite the hand who feeds her? Doubtful. Along with her buying Dubya's tap dance and voting for the Iraq "shock and awe" war, this all makes her quite problematic in my book.

But.....if she's nominated what are we going to do, vote for someone much worse? It's the catch 22 we're in now and without radical change this dilemma won't likely change anytime soon.

gave us the first black president. Now they aim to give us the first woman president. They'll be pushing the repug candidate too, who'll be a white male, maybe with a minority or a woman VP. It's nothing personal. They're just hedging their bets. You sell presidents just like you sell any other product. Ironically, the election will be decided by true believers from the rank and file. Who wins won't make much difference to the boys from Goldman. They win either way.

America is faced with some truly momentous decisions.

Or to change the analogy. HRC will play the Good Cop. And some overt corporate apologist will play the Bad Cop.

As Dorothy Parker might have said, when it comes to political viewpoints, we run the gamut from A to B.

is quite justified in his criticism of Corporate Clinton. She has always carried water for the highest bidder...Walmart, Goldman Sachs...whoever provides the cash. And Democrats want to run her for president?
The party has lost its morality, along with its mind.

Thanks for posting antigop.

Thank you Cenk.

She is a hypocrite.

She is a political prostitute.

She is a war monger.

If this is the best the Democratic Party can put forward, it certainly is a sad commentary on the direction this country is headed.

Can we fool ourselves again? Yes we can!

I'm sure the Republicans will run a horribly repulsive candidate for president. Besides, the Republican platform is fully as repulsive as their candidates. So we certainly cannot consider a Republican as a viable alternative.

What can we do? They have us by the balls.

I do not want Hillary. How can Hillary supporters ignore the damage Bill Clinton did to this nation? They deny the damage NAFTA did. They deny the damage Gramm-Leach-Bliley did. And they deny the damage the Telecommunications Act did even though we suffer from the effects every single day.

All the Clinton outrage of the 1990s was a well orchestrated smoke screen. They had us distracted while OUR PRESIDENT signed into law a devastating right wing legislative agenda. Will we ever recover from the Clinton legacy?

Hillary will probably run. If she runs she will win. If, because of some last minute "October surprise" she loses to Jeb or Rand, the corporatists still win. So we can expect even more corporatist favoritism and the end of net neutrality and ruling for the .1% for the foreseeable future. The Clintons are nothing if not masters at double speak. They can con just about anyone into believing they are progressive. They ran into someone last time in the Democratic party that was better at that than them. This time they are basically unopposed.

If there were any justice in the world, Warren would run and win.
