1. 2016 is looking good and I'm excited.

Here's to Auld Lang Syne!



Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’lltak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!
and surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak' a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin' auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin' auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie's a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak' a right gude-willie waught,
for auld lang syne.

[BlueCaliDem]

6. Wooohooooo!

I can't wait!

[FloridaBlues]

29. Blue Cali love your 2016

[BlueCaliDem]

40. Thanks, FloridaBlues!

Found it online and thought it was perfect to be included in my response.

[aikoaiko]

7. You realize she can't be president in 2016.

Earliest possible would be 2017.

[andrewv1]

9. Hillary's 2016 Resolution: Destroy Bernie, "Seem Nice Doing It"

Hillary already has her 2016 resolution...

Hillary's 2016 Resolution: Destroy Bernie, "Seem Nice Doing It"

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Today, Democratic presidential candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced her 2016 resolution was to "completely destroy" U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont - her primary challenger for the party's presidential nomination. Clinton asserted she wanted to tear down Sanders, and everything he ever loved, while also desiring to "seem nice doing it" so her already upside-down favorability numbers did not go even lower.

Clinton continued, "Isn't Bernie's age more important than me palling around with the bankers, and not wanting to do anything meaningful to reform Wall Street or avoid the next financial meltdown? Isn't his age worse than me voting to authorize the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and learning so little from it that I openly entertain the very real possibility of a war with Iran if I am president?"

[Divernan]

15. Clinton also wants to "do more running & some serious abs work" in 2016.

10. Happy Delusion!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. Don't get too excited

[liberalnarb]

12. Keep it in the Hillary Group.

The primaries haven't even started yet. Let's all just hope this will be the year a Democrat gets elected to move the country forward.

[pandr32]

33. Why?

Would you rather all HC posts go into the HC Group and leave the rest of the forum for SBS?

[BlueCaliDem]

42. Yep. That's pretty much what Sanders supporters want, although this one is more

honest about it.

Irony is, Sanders isn't even a Democrat and this is the Democratic Underground. But they're hoping to turn into the Bernie Underground. Not happening.

[DaveT]

13. Yep

Vote for me because I am going to win.

What a lame way to run for office.


My substantive suggestion based on vast experience in life at age 62: Brag Afterwards. Bragging ahead of time often winds up in humiliation. And it always sends the opposite message as intended -- instead of confidence it actually betrays insecurity.

And, generally speaking, braggarts are jerks.

Eventually, they will count the votes and we all know who won. So far your candidate has won exactly the same number of votes as Governor O'Malley and Senator Sanders. Its a nil - nil - nil tie at this point.




Happy new year. We'll all be on the same side in the fall. One way or the other.

[boston bean]

19. You would prefer vote for me I'm going to lose? nt

[DaveT]

25. As a Sanders supporter

I am very happy that the Hillary supporters keep pushing this stupid line of inevitability. It helps my side.

As to your rhetorical question -- no I would not regard that equally stupid pitch as less lame.

How about vote for me because I have better ideas than my opponent and I am politically skilled enough to implement those ideas. Something along those lines, instead of the utterly preposterous "appeal" of this thread, which is just a sweetened up version of "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE."

Like I said, keep 'em coming. It's a hoot to see the canned "argument" being repeated so many different ways.

[FloridaBlues]

30. Her solid polling for months say the democrats are with her during the primaries and beyond

Bernie has a lot of catching up in a short amount of time.
I am happy that this intelligent, very well informed Democrat very likely be the nominee

[riversedge]

37. ha ha

[daybranch]

23. Actually O Malley just lost Ohio because they did not get 1000 valid signatures to get on the ballot

I prefer Bernie, but I would certainly prefer Martin over Hillary. I also admit I posted several times asking Martin to drop out when it has become clear his popularity remains in single digits and may even be decreasing. I did this after being convinced his candidacy like that of the republicans was reducing coverage of Bernie's positions versus Hillary's exactly the same thing main stream media has been engaged in in their trumped up, for show red herring war by two supporters of the oligarchy, Hillary and Trump. I do not blame Martin but his overall impact I felt was helping Clinton.
So again I am asking Martin's supporters to make a wiser decision , and do the most good for the American people they can by recognizing the fatal damage this failure to get on Ohio's ballot does to his winning the nomination and more specifically how a candidate who has lost any chance of getting any of Ohio's 16 electoral college votes in the general election. His light was not shinning bright before this problem. This will continue to dim as the probable consequences of this will be called out as a failure of leadership on his part far eclipsing the fervor exhibited by Hillary fans regarding stealing of data by Bernie staffers but may be willfully ignored by Hillary as she may want to keep him sucking up debate time from Bernie. But in any case the people will see it for what it is, the light through the windows is growing darker, it is time to quit working in semidarkness, turn off the lights and call it a day. Come back to fight another day with a better campaign strategy and staff. Continuing further is a betrayal of the efforts of the supporters he has. No leader should engage his followers in battles he knows they and he cannot win, speeches and motivational appeals to the contrary. He blew it, time to fess up and go home after he apologizes to those who worked so hard for him. That is the high road, he should take it.

[upaloopa]

28. We are not bragging. Everything points to

Hillary becoming the 45th President

And my 69 1/2 years has shown me the power of positive thinking. So I'll keep thinking positively, thank you

And as far as Bernie folks thinking positive, if they were there wouldn't be the need for 24/7 Hillary bashing.

[slipslidingaway]

14. Madam or Sir, black, brown or white, Christian, Muslim or Jew, I do not care for labels ...

our world is in a horrible mess.

We cannot elect leaders that give no forethought when they speak of regime change and the millions of people that are affected.

[SheilaT]

16. Wait, what did I miss? Has the election already happened?

Oh. It's only January 1. Never mind.

[riversedge]

21. yeah,you were still dreaming of sugarplums.

[hobbit709]

17. My first laugh of 2016

[SunSeeker]

18. Happiest of New Years!

[Luminous Animal]

20. Why "Madam"? Madam and Sir are equivalent but we don't say "Sir President"

We say Mr. President. So, if Hillary is elected she should properly be addressed as Ms President.

[riversedge]

22. That is fine with me. Happy new year.

[pandr32]

32. Madame President

...will be appropriate. We use Mr. or Sir for males in high offices and Madame for women. To refer to her as Mrs. or Ms. traditionally relates to her married status (though Ms. basically means unstated marital status) which would not do for her as POTUS. She was Madame Secretary and then there is Mr. Secretary (John Kerry). Mr. in front of any male does not refer to married status.

[riversedge]

38. you are right. Good thinking.

[workinclasszero]

24. We make history in 2016!!

Hillary is going to lay waste to Herr Trump or pope Cruz, or w/e teabag loser the rethuglicans put up in the GE.

GO HILLARY!!

[Persondem]

26. I'll drink to that! Cheers!! and I'll drink to ...

... this ...

[riversedge]

43. Fairly consistant polls since Oct. Yet, Hillary and team is taking nothing for granted.

[Beacool]

27. Happy New Year!!!

May it bring health, peace and prosperity to all. May it also bring us our first woman president.

34. Even the Lumpenproletariat can afford champaign at COSTCO

unless you're a wine snob.

[earthside]

36. Ha! When was the last time Hillary ...

... bought herself a bottle of Dom anywhere, let alone at a jug of Kirkland sparkling wine at Costco?

Worth over $31 million by herself -- Hillary isn't one of us.

[riversedge]

39. No, not now but she used to be and still remembers. I trust her. #Imwithher
