Bernie supporter here to say: Hillary did us proud today and put those smarmy POS republidiots...

...squarely in their place.

I can take great comfort knowing that if my candidate does not survive the primaries, then I have a really good candidate to back in the GE, despite those things about her with which I take issue .

Thank you, Hillary. You did good.

83 of our senators - Republicans and Democrats - vote to sell our privacy to big business, which is far more important to me because it actually effects me. Benghazi doesn't.

She's the total hero.

All history, all reality, be damned.

It was total kabuki.

Since the major media have already named Hillary Clinton as the nominee, based on her performance today, I will go along. It's not that Bernie Sanders isn't a better candidate. He is. It's just that Clinton, like Obama, knows how to handle hostile, aggressive Republicans who think they should run the country by holding fake investigations and slow-walking the phony results in front of the Fox News cameras. The Republicans made such a spectacle of themselves, I expect this will really help her in the general election, too. The GOP is showing itself to be incapable of doing anything except persecuting Democrats.

I'm a Bernie supporter now, but I would in no way hesitate to support this remarkable woman should she win MY PARTY'S nomination.

But these hearings confirmed that she is far more of a hawk than I am. I'm still with Bernie.
