...Cruz and Rubio want to progress towards Theocracy, Trump wants to progress towards Corporate Meritocracy, Bernie wants to progress towards a Democratic Socialism...

Clinton? I'm not sure what she wants to progress towards...it seems to change by the day.

And brags about being praised by a war criminal who worked for Republicans?

I think you need to look up the political definition of "progressive", words mean things.

Making progress towards the right doesn't make one a progressive.

Her voice has begun to grate on my nerves so badly I would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch her. It's good to read the reviews around the Internet this morning and learn that Bernie did as well as I expected he would.

Mostly looking forward to the time when the Clinton Dictionary will replace Webster's, so people will stop sniggering when she calls herself a progressive.
