Oh don't get me wrong, Hillary has a past where baggage has been manufactured and greatly emphasized. She has always been in the GOP spotlight. They've seen this possible Whitehouse win coming for the last 12 years and have had years to create that baggage. It would seems that most of it is seen for what it is, and frankly it is starting to play against them by berning out the public. But the bottom line is that we pretty much know the "baggage" that the GOP has against Hillary. If Bernie is the nominee, he will not be able to avoid his own significant "baggage". To assume otherwise is naive.

she's the Lac-Megantic of baggage trains: even without her record, why push for her as nominee?

Do I recall correctly that you called Bernie supporters "dumb as a brick..."

You can stand with the party if you want to, but there is no evidence here that any Democrats . . .
