Tell her to drop out or that will most likely be the end result to many dems and indies hate her and won't vote for her and too many R's hate her and will vote against her so she and all of the rest of us end up losers big time, she doesn't give a fuck, she can just run off anywhere with her millions and be ok the rest of us will get reamed royally, I seriously doubt the present political system as we know it today will survive this election cycle...

But after so many years of being told to "settle" for crap...That message is passing its sell-by date. It's a shame, the Democrats don't want to put some fresh products onto the shelves.

(65,616 posts)Actually I am supporting HRC. I would have no problems with Bernie Sanders as the next POTUS. What worries me most is not the settling part, but that the GOP keeps running more and more unstable candidates as the years go on.
Trump and Cruz...God no. However I do understand the POV of getting tired of the same old reasons for voting a certain way. I for one would love to see someone from the working class somehow run for POTUS...it would make Wall Street cry wolf.
