I don't think Mrs. Boxer wants to be VP, she wants time for private work while she is still healthy & active.

(47,953 posts)She is one of those privileged folks who always have had fawning media and handlers around to make sure there is no real unpleasantness. She will be eaten alive in the primary.

(15,438 posts)State AG Kamala Harris is pretty much inevitable as CA's next junior Senator. Don't believe the M$M-hype that Condoleeza Rice has a snowball's chance in the Palm Desert's sun in summer to win Senator Boxer's seat. NO. WAY.
Fred Sanders
(23,946 posts)As usual, someone in mass media may dare to rock the boat, but it is still clearly forbidden to mention that the ocean may well be on fire.

Won't get any coverage.

(25,111 posts)but Rand Paul is bringing up Benghazi again, and every thing GOP says that is not too crazy will be reported. As to Dems, nope, nada. Sites like this keeps me informed.

(946 posts)Of how right they are. The more common sense shows that they're wrong, the more factual based studies show that they're wrong - it only emboldens them and gives them more "proof" that they're doing the "right" thing.

(10,252 posts)You may note that she didn't say they don't love America, or that they are lawless, or that they are tyrant kings, or hypocrites, or childish, or stupid, or hateful, or liars, or use vulgar swear words, or attack their masculinity, or corrupted by corporate money, or anti-democratic, or Fascist, or war-mongers. All-in-all, she was exceedingly nice.

(18,998 posts)How many speeches have we heard deliver a crushing blow to the right?...they just ignore it and continue on with actions, because they know words don't mean shit and actions do.
But if words is all you need then words is all you will get.
SmittynMo
(3,544 posts)I totally agree. Actions AND words make the difference. That's always been true.
I also agree 100% in the words from the original post. We need to put them in action.

I liked what she said, but she was very civil about it, IMHO.
