    Last night Bernie Sanders challenged Hilliary Rodman Clinton on her ties to Wall Street, and raised a firestorm. She invoked 9-11, to whit...
    Is she serious? Thousands died in the worst attack on American soil, more than in the attack on Pearl Harbor, and she stood there to say this nonsense with a straight face? And it isn't just me...
    Pfft! Maddening. And the liberals are standing behind this Alinsky-Cloward-Piven progressive?

    She's not going to win, she's a joke. She has lied about so many things and no one takes her seriously. She just doesn't care. I don't get why she's even running. It's all just a joke and the world is all a stage.

    I wish I could be so certain she won't win. I didn't think Obama would beat Romney, but of course he did.

    I am very afraid that she will win, unless something forces her out of the election. It seems as though the media and pop culture pick the winners these days, and they've been behind her for years. A good portion of the electorate these days is very uninformed, is swayed heavily by bumper sticker rhetoric and propaganda, and doesn't understand things like basic economics, national defense, etc.

    It seems as though more and more people just want to vote for whomever will give them the most "free stuff".

    The sad thing is, with as many lies as she has told, she still has a decent shot of winning. She has the popularity with the general public, especially the female vote and minority vote. Not enough people pay attention to the news and to current events going on around them. The email scandals, even though they didn't reveal anything extremely nefarious yet, are a huge sign that points to her true character. If she can't be trusted to follow simple procedure than how can we trust her as a president. Personally, I do not like any candidates on either side of the aisle, but I'd go for someone like a Rand Paul that at least speaks with some transparency.

    She's becoming pretty Teflon at the moment and it seems that no matter what she says or does, she carries on marching towards towards that Whitehouse door.

    A lot of people even though they don't like her, still consider her as the best of a bad bunch, and THAT is a scary admission to make!

    It's obvious that she/her camp has broken laws and regulations and put national security at possible risk regarding the whole email thing and the Clinton foundation.

    I think the only thing we can't be 100% certain of at this point is whether or not it was all done out of negligence/ignorance, or if it was all done knowingly out of deliberate indifference to laws, policies, etc. I'm fairly certain myself it was the latter, but of course knowing it and proving it are 2 different things.

    She's just an idiot, plain and simple. And it looks like she's going to get away with the whole e-mail scandal without anyone really noticing or caring.

    The sad thing is I'd prefer Hillary 10000x over Bernie Sanders. Most presidents talk a big game during campaign season, but end up somewhere near the middle and nowhere near what the promised they'd do on the campaign. Sanders is one I thing would absolutely fundamentally change everything about this country and fully try and implement his "democratic socialist" ideals into our economy. The steam Sanders is getting too, especially with the younger generation who wants free stuff as JR Ewing pointed out, is something to watch in the coming months. I could very easily see an Obama-esq rise for him to win the nomination.

    She might very well be just a plain and simple idiot, but she's the most dangerous kind.

    She's a very clever idiot that's still got a lot of backing, and so its looking like no matter what happens, nothing is going to spoil her little journey to the Whitehouse.

    She's likely to win simply because Liberals and Progressives will vote her in because in their minds "it's about time" we had a female president, and everything Repubs/Conservatives say and do is "evil", "stupid", or "crazy". Never mind her record, never mind her qualifications, never mind her questionable past--we crossed the race threshold, gender is the next one. I'm saying this is as a Liberal, mind you. And it pisses me off.

    I drank the Kool-Aid for Obama the first time around, didn't make the same mistake again (I'm a Black American). Personally I wish Americans as a whole would boycott the process on election day, as a mass protest of the system and the candidates. But that will never happen.
