44. I don't understand the relevance but, sure, I'll play.

I'm 57 with 2 daughters (twins) approaching 19. If you're about to imply that I'm naive, I'd instead point out that my real world experience is extensive enough to know that judging someone based on one or two "defects" is hardly worthy of discussion. You need to look at the total person, not the soundbites that others throw at him/her.

Clinton is likely our next President. We should be working together to push her further to the left. But teamwork hasn't really been a hallmark of Sanders and his supporters, has it? As evidenced by the fact that he has fewer Senate endorsements than Ted Cruz.

Still, I don't have anything against the man and I'd gladly vote for him if he were the nominee.

This is not a sweeping win for Hillary. Baitball Blogger May 2016 #10
It doesn't need to be a sweeping win. The process was fair. randome May 2016 #12
It wasn't a fair process, and organized chaos is not acceptable for a Baitball Blogger May 2016 #15
I don't see hypocrisy when there are 50 different intepretations of what 'fair' is. randome May 2016 #21
What "fair" is? What "is" is? These are the real questions! Scuba May 2016 #23
I think the rest of the countries are aware that we are preaching 21st Century Baitball Blogger May 2016 #24

On what planet is a Senator a low level functionary? IdaBriggs May 2016 #4
Whoops. Thought that was someone else. randome May 2016 #6
Hillary already has a well earned reputation for warmonger, so IdaBriggs May 2016 #9
Yes, giving the finger to someone is unbecoming for a sitting Senator. randome May 2016 #11
Not meaning to pile on - it was one of those, "woah!" moments. IdaBriggs May 2016 #17
A Senator is a "low level functionary"? Fumesucker May 2016 #5

So you're saying it was impossible for Barbara Boxer to avoid that gesture? Fumesucker May 2016 #14
Boxer did herself no favors with that gesture. That's on her. randome May 2016 #16
You know whose feathers would be ruffled if Hillary were to snub Kissinger... Fumesucker May 2016 #20
She vacations with the man for Pete's sake. They are FRIENDS! Silver_Witch May 2016 #29
Define 'friend', then. It's political-speak for acknowledging Kissinger's past influence. randome May 2016 #32

You have no idea what that even means. randome May 2016 #40
Do you vacation with war criminals as well? frylock May 2016 #41

Question: How old are you? frylock May 2016 #43
I don't understand the relevance but, sure, I'll play. randome May 2016 #44
The relevance is your glib attitude about someone like Henry Kissinger. frylock May 2016 #45
I think if by u are best friends with a war criminal you get to be nice to them! Silver_Witch May 2016 #26
Politicians always say kind things about previous politicians. randome May 2016 #30
