Hillary Clinton

When Republicans do it to Democrats it is "reining in." When Democrats do it to Republicans it is called "unwillingness to compromise."

If only obama had compromised with the republicans and agreed not to nominate a supreme court nominee. It's so mean of him to force the senate republicans to refuse to do their jobs and look all obstructiony.

I'll agree that Mitch McConnell is an ass. If they wanted to send a message they should have held the hearings and then "Borked" the nominee as the "Lion of the Senate" famously did, or at least made his life hell as the Democrats did to Clarence Thomas. If we're going to talk about people being mean, we should include a little perspective.

I think the more impactful election issues will be in the senate, house and maybe the Supreme Court.

Clinton is in many ways a departure from Obama. She is primarily a hawk. She will do a much better job at defeating "ISIL" because she actually believes in defeating them and using our military to do it. She doesn't plan on building a wall or controlling immigration because she is going to kill off all the bad Islamists in their backyard. The only thing that would hold her back at all would be the lack of support she might get from the American people because it is going to take 30 or 40 thousand boots on the ground. Just a few more terrorist attacks and support will grow for a full on intervention.

Assad is toast once she gets in the White House. And Russia can start sucking hind tit. Israel will get the full support of the United States again. Foreign policy will start to reflect our actual interests. We are going to go back to pissing people off.

It's not all going to be roses. We are going to be taxed to death but at least someone in the White House wil have grown a set....... finally.

Look back... during the Reagan administration he elected a supreme court replacement. That is the way it should be.

Not bad for a person with small hands.

Jane, I'm with you.

Another good reason to vote for Hillary Clinton. A Clinton Presidency would undoubtedly prolong the Wall Street financial sector boom. For anyone with money in the investment markets that should be comforting to your IRAs and 401(k). CEOs and investors will be quite comfortable with guarenteed bailout for any bursting bubble down the road. And the banks won't be seeing any real changes in government regulation any time soon.

How did that work out in 2008? Well badly if you couldn't wait it out. And it will be the same. Bail outs didn't prevent a stock market crash, so there is no evidence they can do any such thing, although they did re-inflate the stock market eventually.
