I don't see her as a fierce bulldyke or a harmless grandma any more than I see Bernie as a socialist demagogue. These are just sensationalist labels that the media loves to paint people in order to get ratings. I vote for the vision that you see this country moving towards. I vote for your track record, and your ability to get things done. I vote for your trustworthiness in sticking by the people when things get tough. And they will get tough. I had no problems voting for Hillary in the beginning. But time and again she has been unable to convince me of where her allegiances lie. Her track record on many issues has changed without warning. Her interview with Terry Gross (who I admire greatly) really struck a chord with me: if you're going to switch sides, at least have the decency to own up to it. I don't hate Hillary, but she has done a terrible job so far in instilling confidence in me that she will have my interests at heart. I know I'm not alone in this assessment, | ||

Guess it depends who they dislike more between Cruz and Trump since their boy Rubio isn't getting it done. Isn't Rubio ahead of Cruz at the moment (will probably change with Texas tho)? I honestly think there's not enough support in the establishment to force a third party GOP candidate. Mike Huckabee did point it out, the other candidates did swear to back whoever wins the Republican nomination. | ||

Almost guaranteed to win 7 out of the first 9 states, and having Cruz win the others is the best for him, since if you don't like Trump, you're not going to get behind Cruz either. Looks like with this, the democratic primaries are also over. | ||

Her key constituent is like anybody who feels bad about themselves or who has a beef with white men. Trump is going to eviscerate this crowd. The dems will all stay home in November and next thing you know a huge TRUMP sign will be hanging on the white house nah she will run fairly strongly on inequality | ||

Think this is the kind of thing they created the phrase "between a rock and a hard place" for. | ||

Massachusetts stopped flip flopping, looks like Hillary is gonna win it. Bernie outperformed in OK, but Hillary did in MA. | ||
