worked on for years and years, and is just now being dragged out into the sunlight by the responses and reactions to Bernie's campaign.
When the two candidates' platforms are pretty much diametrically op[posed, then that illustrates, to me, that there is a problem with "Democrat".

4. I mean she can't even separate herself from Henry Kissinger. She's not about to ditch RE or DWS!
