Bush won by dividing us and winning the big states.
How do any Hillary supporters watching Meet the Press right now feel about that?

8. That's correct.....
The Reukes are damn good at stealing elections and I fear that they have all the tools in place to steal another one..There has been a lot of talk but nothing done to insure we have fair elections this year..The Repukes have more to lose than an election.
And if the truth was known the Texas Governors election was probably stolen too..After all he had a guy named Rove working for him even then.....

14. They can't steal all these presidential elections in a row. That's impossible.
2000 was stolen, yes, but anyone who thinks these clowns can do this on a regular basis is senile.

12. You said, and I quote, AND WON THE BIG STATES
that is total, complete, and utter nonsense. Now, if you said he won by dividing us and WINNING THE SOUTHERN STATES, I would have said that is what he did. But then, that would look more like Obama and less like Hillary and we couldn't have that.

3. He did?
NY? CA? Mass? PA? MI? Illinois? NJ?

He won his home state of Texas and Florida. Your comparison is nonsensical.

6. What about it?
The claim is that he won "the big states". He won precious few of the big states. The comparison is idiotic.

9. I was stressing the "divide to win" more, I thought.
Oh well.

4. Not a Hillary supporter, but it is a proven strategy.
Personally, I would take a term or two of a president for our side that has been as effective as Bush at getting an agenda done. We may not be able to wimp our way out of this mess with forgiveness and inclusion of Republican ideas.

11. Neither Obama nor Hillary is going to reach the magic 2025.
It's as though the winning lottery ticket was numbered 2025 and one had a ticket with the numbers 2015 and the other had one numbered 2019. Which one would be the winner? Neither. They are both losers.

No matter which of the two losers is pushed over the threshold by the super delegates, the will of elected delegates and the people who voted for them will be thwarted, and that doesn't even take into consideration how flawed the selection process was.

Forget the nonsense of bringing the country together. The way things are going, the Democratic party is going to be fatally divided going into the general election. Keep stirring the pot! Hello, President McCain!

15. Wrong, 2000 became a close call because of Monica, Skullduggery in Florida helped 'em steal it.
Division had little to do with it. Sure, Repukes hated Clinton and did anything they could to destroy him. A lot of voters took the Monica mess out on Gore, but the fact still stands that even though we were divided, Gore still should have taken office and Shrub would have gone back to Texas.
