93. If you beleive, as I do, that Trump = Hitler

Then the person who defeats a Hitler like presidential candidate is the greatest American political Figure in U.S. History.

If you think Trump's just another politician who you happen to disagree with, but carries no great threat to the nation if elected, than Hillary is no special figure at all.

I happen to think that Trump is a totalitarian madman who could destroy the Republic.

Couldn't agree more! Old and In the Way Aug 2016 #1
This makes me wonder, what will history record about all this? Kablooie Aug 2016 #2

You don't understand the system here. No matter how good an alternative candidate could have been, pnwmom Aug 2016 #58
I'll definitely give it to you that I don't fully understand your system Laha Aug 2016 #61

The process worked fine. KMOD Aug 2016 #64
I am very much trying to avoid any arguments Laha Aug 2016 #66
You can take the superdelegates out of the picture KMOD Aug 2016 #67
When you look at it from the angle of media/Democratic leadership bias Laha Aug 2016 #70
Nope. That shit needs to be nipped in the bud. KMOD Aug 2016 #72
We'll have to agree to disagree here Laha Aug 2016 #73
Nope. I'm not going to entertain the bullshit. KMOD Aug 2016 #74

You know at this point a rag doll can probably beat Trump davidn3600 Aug 2016 #9
The electorate overwhemingly chose Hillary Clinton to do so. KMOD Aug 2016 #14
A rag doll wouldn't have put together that brilliant convention. Or invited Mr. Kahn to speak. pnwmom Aug 2016 #24
How did Hillary make Trump insult the Khans? davidn3600 Aug 2016 #75
Hillary's campaign made the smart and non-obvious decision, months earlier, to ask Khan to speak pnwmom Aug 2016 #76
Then that rag-doll would go down as the greatest ever louis c Aug 2016 #92

should I? KMOD Aug 2016 #46
ICAM! Too bad so many don't get what you are saying in your post lunamagica Aug 2016 #23
True, but that points more to lucky timing... scscholar Aug 2016 #27

Well, I'd rank her somewhere in the vicinity of FDR. thucythucy Aug 2016 #29

I admire and like Hillary, but I think there is a tad of hyperbole here.... Moonwalk Aug 2016 #31
obvious hyperbole is obvious KMOD Aug 2016 #33
Whatever your point, it wasn't obvious to me. Moonwalk Aug 2016 #39

Her campaign put that convention together on its own. They didn't require the assistance pnwmom Aug 2016 #59
I didn't mean that Bernie had anything to do with her convention, nor to... Moonwalk Aug 2016 #87
This is a great point, but for me personally, the more important thing is what she'll mean to women. calimary Aug 2016 #38
