Gonna be a long campaign season Brooklynite. Better work on that rhetorical agility, the competition will be stiff.

Packed a bag and moved to New York in what has historically been referred to as "carpetbagging".

It's shrewd, but she's not a New Yorker.

were Northerners who came to the South after the Civil War and essentially started bossing the local people around. In Hillary's case, she did not run for public office, but as First Lady of the state, she became involved in educational "reform" which irritated a lot of teachers, including my dyed-in-the-wool yellow-dog Democrat history teacher who was royally pissed at being made to teach nearly completely for standardized tests, rather than his unvarnished version of history which was replete with contemporary newspaper stories, accounts of people who were there, and other sources that are essentially overlooked in standard texts. His history classes were a real eye-opener.

I think that depends on how she ages.

I truly think she would be better in the Senate. Man, imagine that she and Bernie were both gone from it. Even when Sanders is President, we NEED Warren in the Senate
