Some people in the know say you'll get both if Hillary! is elected president.

For me it's mainly because I have trouble identifying anything at all that I agree with the GOP on. Maybe some other liberals here could enlighten me about an issue that the GOP has right and the Dems wrong

Fine, your liberal and that's you point of view - but couldn't you get anyone else but Hillary to be that symbol of progression. I would gladly take Elizabeth Warren over Hillary any day.

If one has to be president, I'd take Hillary...painful choice, though.

Painful is a understatement, just the thought of listening to her talk for 4 years is frightening.........

She looks so horrible in her limited campaigning I can't even imagine how she can get through the whole campaign and first term if she did make it. She makes John McCain look like a spry young man and her face and bulging eyes betray her every word with a look of utter contempt for even having to be there.

It is obvious that she hates the whole campaign process, hates having to pretend to like people, and particularly hates talking to the media. This attitude was shown at its peak by her "What difference does it make" moment while being questioned by Congress, which she also hates.

It is clear that she thinks the presidency is an entitlement, and is resigned to going through the miserable ceremony of an election needed to have it handed to her.

I can't imagine how anyone could listen to her and think leadership.
The bar has been lowered.

I think when Bill Clinton was running for the Presidency they threw everything at him and it was like he was the Teflon candidate, the media might want to give her a pass but we all know what is coming.

It is painful to me to hear that from you...And from any others as well..

She belonged to the California "Communist Party" when she was in college, and I am sad to say that not much has changed about her, since...

Pretty easy to see that about her, if you look at her public life with that view in mind of her....

She doesn't give a rat's ass about you or anyone else other than her elitist buddies...I am surprised, no saddened, that so many others can't or refuse to see this side to her, and her slickster hubby, who happens to love the Chicoms.....

They call themselves "opinion elites".

She has progressed well beyond the typical street level, pampered American Communist. A major early influence on her politics was Saul Alinsky, author of "Rules for Radicals". A later political mentor is George Soros and his Open Society agenda. Soros has praised her as having an exceptional understanding of his policies.

How many on here have actually read rules for radicals? Just curious.

Hillary rolled out her sweeping economic policies today. Yawn.

In her speech, Clinton proposed three prongs for her economic policies: strong growth, fair growth, and long-term growth. What that looks like in policy terms: raising wages (especially for women), boosting participation in the workforce, encouraging profit-sharing for firms' employees, and deploying so-called "empowerment zones" to encourage growth in downtrodden cities. If that last one sounds familiar, it's because another candidate—Sen. Rand Paul—has already proposed a similar idea.

No details on how she plans to accomplish any of that. It is assumed that she will want to increase the minimum wage, but she has not said what she thinks it should be.

Bernie Sanders has a little different take on the economy. He says that the number one priority is redistribution of wealth, even at the cost of economic growth.

“Our economic goals have to be redistributing a significant amount of [wealth] back from the top 1 percent,” Sanders said in a recent interview, even if that redistribution slows the economy overall.

“Unchecked growth – especially when 99 percent of all new income goes to the top 1 percent – is absurd,” he said. “Where we’ve got to move is not growth for the sake of growth, but we’ve got to move to a society that provides a high quality of life for all of our people. In other words, if people have health care as a right, as do the people of every other major country, then there’s less worry about growth. If people have educational opportunity and their kids can go to college and they have child care, then there’s less worry about growth for the sake of growth.”

Bernie has at least one edge over Hillary. He is never boring.

I did, in college when I was a freshman.

I started out as a believer -- youth is indeed wasted on the young -- but didn't care for the book's message. I always felt I was lucky enough to have learned even then that there's a story, and then there's a story behind the story.

I didn't like what I perceived to have been the story behind the story. Time has proven that my instinct was correct.

Creeps like Obama, the Clintons, Cass Sunstein, and now a lightweight like NYC mayor Bill de Blasio, learned well the lessons taught in Rules for Radicals -- and their never-ending goal of destroying America and its values.
