I am switching to Hillary.

I was for Bernie. Then I heard Hillary at the debate... the way she took on the Wall Street Banksters and their behaviors that led to the crash of 2008.

She told them, straight up. "CUT IT OUT!"

That's exactly the kind of strong president we need. Someone who will stand up to Putin when he launches air strikes against Syria.

Yo, Putin, "CUT IT OUT !" Guaranteed to work.



Or if the Chinese decide to shell or invade Formosa.

Chairman Mao, "CUT IT OUT !" You just watch Mao crawl back under his rock.


That's the kind of action we need from a president.

As a result, I have had several of my posts juried. Most jury voter got it and allowed the posts to stay but a couple were banned.

Unlike juries in my state, the D.U. juries don't get paid for their service so I guess, you get what you pay for.

On a serious note
It sucks and I will have to wrestle with my conscience to vote for her if she wins the nomination
but what other choice is there.

The only way I would sit out this election is if she gets dirty with Senator Sanders like she did with President Obama.

In my mind I still think she has racist feelings towards President Obama
