If you're arguing that Hillary being the nominee is winning, then I would sure hate to see what losing looks like.

Hillary Clinton's Released White House Records show she Lied about Opposing NAFTA
By Steven Leser

One of the things you would expect of someone who really has good experience and judgment is that they can articulate a basic set of principles and positions on issues that they can run on and defend and that stay relatively static. I'm not saying you have to stick to them in the face of overwhelming evidence that one of your positions has been proven to be wrong, like George W. Bush does, even someone who has good experience and judgment occasionally changes their mind. That is not what we have with Hillary. Hillary gives a different opinion on the same subjects every couple of weeks depending on her audience and what she thinks it will net her. As evidence of this is now coming out and is going to be presented to the American people in the starkest terms, how can one be expected to trust her to do anything that she says she is going to do? How can one really know what she believes or intends to do about anything? The only things Hillary's experience seems to be good for is perfecting how to talk out of both sides of her mouth, engaging in the politics of personal destruction and other aspects of her ruthless pursuit of power that remind one of what a Karl Rove might do. That kind of person ought not to be the Democratic nominee.

Page 75 back to page 1 is not progress.

Leser claims to be a journalist, but as someone said, that'd like a heroin dealer claiming to be a pharmacist.

He has been very open with his thoughts here for a long time. Some of the pieces I saw of him on Fox were really good. He did a great job of spreading a progressive message to a hostile audience.

25. Self promoter!
Mon Jun 6, 2016, 03:56 PM

That's all.

Take his posts at their content.

I like some of them; I don't like some of them. He's mostly into promoting himself, by my reading. In other words, he's just about like everybody else here (except for the self-promoting part).

Self promoting does not get one any credence here. One also has to have something beyond that.

I click through many Leser's posts. But I find that I do much less like him these days. Let him live with that.

Flagrant self promotion does not mean much of anything here.
