I feel the same way about my husband of 40 years. She can talk about Bill anyway she wants to.

And he might claim some credit for her success. I assume she was being funny, by the way.

She used a colloquial euphemism to project humor, but I've seen Hillary supporters posting that Bernie using the term "kicking ass" was un-presidential and sexists...both claims are ridiculous.

BTW, Bernie's use of "kicking ass" was also used in lighthearted way...a figure of speech.

I made one point one time. If my post bothers you somehow, I don't know what I could do about it - I'm not going to quit posting my opinions any more than anyone else has to.

That was cringe worthy, I say that as an Obama supporter who voted for him every time, who currently supports Bernie but is fine with Hillary too.

You would think this was kindergarten the way they are talking about it "Big mean Bernie said the word butt!"

I see I'm not missing anything by staying out of GDP.

I thought Hillary was battle hardened, does she really need to be defended from commonly used phrases?

If I had pearls I certainly wouldn't be clutching them over this non-issue.

Are there any issues based threads or shall I just skip the forum again today?

They would love to put us all in nice neat boxes but his appeal is universal and his supporters defy stereotypes.

And of course this latest "scandal" is another attempt to deflect from the issues.

Bernie replied to someone who asked "are you ready to kick some republican butt?" with something like there are other butts to be dealt with first. Then someone shouted that's sexist and, well, here we are.

Personally I couldn't resist making butt crack jokes.

and then there are folks that try to turn "kick butt" into a sexist remark.

Here, have some straws.
