    Trump must be right up your alley Jeff, him wanting to abolish the Department of Education. He said it ' I love low intelligence voters'.

    CNN is calling South Carolina for Mrs. Clinton (WITH NO votes counted yet),….


    Looking ahead (March 1st/Super Tuesday),…..

    Arkansas


    Georgia


    Massachusetts


    Oklahoma


    Tennessee


    Texas


    Vermont


    Virginia


    If the trend continues above, this part of Mrs. Clinton run should be pretty much summed up by the end of April.

    Looking further down the road,………one small between Mrs. Clinton and the White House.


    President Hillary Clinton,…….

    It's terribly sad that some just don't see the simple light.
    Soaking in the same old pablum considering all developed and enlightened - cycles of delusion.


    Dumbed down and don't realize it.

    What exactly is the light that you see Jeff? It must be very dim, almost non-existent. Is nihilism luminescent?

    The neo-liberals have already dumbed down the education system to the point where Trump the chump is actually a contender.

    The only hope is Sanders, and that looking pretty slim.

    As already said, even if Sanders pulled off a fucking miracle and got into the WH, the DC power insiders would shred him into little bits inside a fortnight.

    ....and what exactly can Bernie do, even if he attempted to implement change?

    Your points are noted correctly, Earl.

    As usual you miss the point entirely. It is not what he can do it is that someone with his message could get that far in the first place. His strong run so far is clear evidence of a changing electorate.

    That be damned good IMHO. The USA could use some European styled social reforms.
    How about a nice bicycle friendly national infrastructure like Holland.

    Clinton won by 47 points. Even Obama didn't manage that.

    Clinton: "How does Mr. Trump plan on paying for his $10 billion tax cut?".

    Chump: "She has a vagina! And stuff comes out of it! Believe me! It's huuuuuuuge!".

    etc. etc.

    ^ Nether are dumb. Trump is telling stupid people what they want to hear and Hillary is exploiting the black vote. Far from dumb.

    So you think either is smart enough to be president and get things done?

    ^ If I had my way the only viable option is Bernie. I will put my fingers on my nose and pull the lever for Hillary over Trump. That man is dangerous and has put forward no plan just nonsense.

    Personally, I don't think any of the current candidates are worth a damn. At least Bernie might damage SS the least.

    Wow! I thought from your posts that you would be a slash and burn Republican. Sold on raising the defense budget and cutting "entitlements" as your ilk call them. Hmm ...

    You jumped to a lot of conclusions and thought you had me pegged, but you were incorrect. Not a republucan and not a democrat, but I think I already said that.

    The last thing I would like to see is any increase of the defense budget.

    Could she just refuse to debate him? Almost seems to me like she has the most to lose. We already know that no matter what shite comes out of his pie hole his supporters are going to lap it up.

    Wonder if it might make sense for her to figure out some angle that makes sense to refuse to debate him. We all know he's simply going to turn it into a mockery.

    ^ if she is consistently ahead then it would make sense for her to avoid the debates, but if it's quite close, or Trump pulls ahead then she didn't have much choice. the mob is hungry and must be fed.

    Not so sure about that.
    Trump is vulnerable simpley because he has no substance, only bully. And it shows.
    Hillary is smart and a skilled debater. Donald is neither and at his best on the shcool yard.
    And when the pull out the file they have on him.... Donald will wish he ran for Putin's job.
