about Hillary and a point to ponder.

Right after the First Gulf war, no one dared run against George the First. Mario Coumo, Al Gore, and many others packed up their tents, waiting for another year. Jerry Brown ran, and he was made fun of by this upstart from Arkansas. Billy told him "You're from California, so chill out!" and I swear when he said that i expected the California Democratic establishment to demand his head on a plate. He was patronzing, rude and arrogant, and he doubled down on every insult.



so, what became of him. He not only won, but took over the party. Turned out Bush was anything but a sure thing.

Our nation was mature enough to have Jerry be president when we had the chance. Clinton may have done some good things, but we lost out.

I am still backing Hillary and so far no one has shown anyone who measures up. She is experienced, strong and able.
