2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Chicago Tribune: "Hillary can't win. She's the establishment candidate in year of insurgency." [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)16. Using Clint Eastwood on a Democratic message board to "prove" any assertion is a strong error

"Enjoy" all you want, but don't go dragging that asshole up in here and holding him out to be some kind of icon.

this whole discussion is HILARIOUS! I want to believe it's a subtle self parody too nuanced for me
