As a Boomer who is about to start receiving SS, I have a vested interest in who gets their hands on my SS benefits. I must vote for the candidate/party that will return the best chance of keeping my benefits.....Hillary is our best chance

Hillary might be sexy, but she's a piece of shit person.

She's further right than Bush was.

I respect your view, I just don't believe she's either one of our best hope for getting what we need from our Federal government.

I think 'fear of a republican president' will drive a lot of voters into the Clinton camp.

I'm with you in that I don't see her candidacy as a better solution for America than another republican president.

Because You don't understand what an all republican controlled Washington {Senate/House/President}, would mean to the country......it would take us back decades

Some times it's the choice of "best of 2 evils", you don't always get what you want, you must settle for the best you can get....just cannot risk a republican president

Bush Pt3, sorry Obama has basically had a Republican presidency.

Name one difference between him and Bush aside from race.

I most certainly DO understand what it would mean. I lived through the first time, the first two years of Shrubbery '43!

I almost think it would be cathartic for the country to see us go off the right wing cliff AGAIN, just so this generation can see what happens when right wing policies are carried to their ultimate conclusion. Why? Because obviously 'modern Americans' are too busy with Facebook to bother cracking a history book and reading up on the Great Depression!

This is why I'll attend my party caucus and vote for Bernie.

I'm done giving a shit about what their party affiliation is, because it's been rendered meaningless.

Party of (young ignorant) dumbasses.

A Republican is a Democrat who finally grew up. One day you'll understand.

I like that.

That's hilarious considering the last republican president turned a projected $5.6 trillion surplus into a $3 trillion deficit and created the situation that led to the increased strength and territory grab by ISIS

A completely republican controlled government would be an epic disaster

-defunding the largest reproductive health clinic in the country
-dismantling the social safety net programs that keep millions barely afloat
-defunding science and education nationwide
-increased spending in offensive foreign wars and military
-increased spending in the war on drugs
-increased spending in the private prison industry
-defunding NASA
-tax cuts for the upper class
-tax cuts for corporations
-increased subsidies for the fossil fuel industry
-corporate conservatives appointed to the SC
-increased fundamentalism in government
-increased enhanced interrogation techniques and abandonment of ethics
-increased NSA spying and increased "cybersecurity"
-decreased regulation of the financial sector
-increased abstinence-only sex education policy
-intelligent design in public schools

Just off the top of my head..


Though according to most national polls, republicans don't stand a chance this election and they have a decent chance of losing the senate in 2016 too
