Just read a post re: hrc's support being a mile wide and an inch deep, thats 'thanks' to the dem ptb: 'But the real point is how fucking blind democratic establishment elites, including many in the MSM, have been and how out of touch they are. It also illustrates how much of a hold the Clintons have on the Democratic Party.

This was always going to be a tough year for us. What did the party powers do? They helped Clinton clear the field.' http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511222627

They sure as hell did help her clear the field, and here we are, without a 'can do,' and DONE that candidate!

I think I would have voted for him in the SC primary. If the GOP wins and we still have a world and/or country to live in in 2020 I think he is in great shape.

I just can't. The quality and extent of supporter hostility is enough for me to say no thanks!

Of being for one or the other. It's making th me hostile towards booth groups with the exception of people I'm already familiar with.

they are Tiger Beat Clubs, acting like they've never seen politicians campaigning before

they're not seeing the best and worst of each candidate - they're picking one and making them a saint

O'Malley was persistent with real policies and strategies based on his executive experience. His demeanor really stood out. My grown son, who knew little about him, said he behaved like a gentleman.

But he will still be around. I think he will have a thing or two to say as the primary moves forward.
