Hillary Clinton

Edited to add: And in fact, google street view shows one of the Community Lines buses headed up the street across from the White Castle stop. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Wh...948604!6m1!1e1

Haha.. I'd pass this along to my son who works in Jersey City, but since I care about his health, I'll pass...
No, my greasy burger of choice has always been McD's. My first one was when the bus stopped on the way back from an elementary school field trip to the Passion Play in Hartford, CT. I hated hamburgers at the time, so I stepped up to the window and never having heard of McDonalds, I asked them if they had hot dogs and I still remember getting a laugh from the question. So I got the hamburger and fell in love with the combination of mustard, ketchup and pickles on that little meat-anemic patty. After that, when I got to high school they had built a McDonald's in my town and every day on my walk home from school I spent .19 for a burger and was happy to do it.

I haven't had a McD's burger in years now, since I became vegetarian, but from time to time, I do get cravings, I'll admit.

There IS something about that mustard trio, thats what makes it. Weird.

The "Rust Belt" has spoken. One party has chosen to tie themselves to the mast and plug their ears with beeswax. The Bern can sing his siren song all he wants but no one is going to respond. The Republicans are a different story. They have heard, they have fallen asleep and they will be devoured.

It shouldn't amaze anyone that this is the case. Anyone that is who grew up in the rust belt in the 1960s and came of age in the 1970s. Anyone whose father worked in the once industrial center of America, the steel industry's place of origin. Anyone whose middleclass status has been turned from a gleaming steel bloom to a rusted pot metal scab. Whose future has turned from promise to depression.

I was too young to understand at the time. My father was forced into early retirement. It seemed steel was not doing so well. And after retirement his company declared bankruptcy and cut his pension by a third. By then he was already disabled by heart disease and too old to get a supplemental job. I didn't know what NAFTA was, trade policies, over production, lessening demand. I couldn't see what oil had to do with it. All I knew is that our fortunes had been compromised and now, we would see how tough we really were.

Forty to fifty years later, both Republican and Democratic Presidents have come and gone and no real Renaissance has come. Investment banks and pharmaseudical companies have sprouted where once proud men and women worked shifts making a strong infrastructure for the country.

I have been very lucky. I managed to get a big enough piece to satisfy me. So I am not listening to the siren songs. I have adapted.

I don't really get cravings for fast food hamburgers and so on. That stuff is gross. Pink slime . I'll eat a homemade hamburger occasionally.

But anyway as for convincing Bernie supporters Hillary is in their best interest, there is no clear evidence she is if they are assumed to want Democrats to win, and not because Trump is wonderful. If Hillary wins Republicans will probably continue to have Congress. If Trump wins they might lose it. Why? Because neither Hillary nor Trump are really popular or well liked people and that is likely to become more so the more we see of them. So if you want to throw out a bunch of jargon about dialectics and stuff, it's really not that complex and can be expressed in a one sentence hypothesis: the midterm elections reflect the popularity of the President and this is taken out on the President's party.

Also years and years of bad leaders are not in anyone's best interest, they are why people like Trump are semi-viable, because of years of bad leadership (even if he won the Presidency, it would be among record low turnout, to give you an idea how semi-viable he really is - yea he can win in a broken system whose choices displease most voters).

And so you have to vote for someone like Hillary and in the end will have done so for what exactly? Selling one's soul and one's vote on the cheap indeed.

Is he still allowed to eat their top-flight onion rings?

No amount of kale will buy you immortality. If sliders shave a year or two off my life, it will be a small enough price to pay.

Good question. I know he tried their veggie burger slider. His review: "It is just not the same!" haha

Make-believe meat is never the answer. It is the culinary equivalent of an inflatable girlfriend.

The WC slider does require an educated palate.

Much as the voters moved Congress into a blocking position after the first two years of Obama, we could see the same thing for either Trump or Clinton. And if Obama was unable to "go over their heads to the people", certainly people with 50+ percent negative approval from day one won't.

I'm not sure I see a damage-control vote as selling out. I see it as making the best of a lousy situation. Although we clearly disagree on what would constitute "damage." I was never one to take my ball and go home, even when I'm getting smoked (which seems likely this year).

I don't see it as selling out. I may be overly hopeful but I feel that Hillary is going to have to win over Bernie supporters and commit to doing some of the things the people have voted the most loudly on. I do think Bernie would win some people over by simply not being tied to big money. No matter what I am going to make an informed vote with what I have, and pay attention to smaller races as well.

I had WC sliders with cheese just last Saturday. Do they do thatbstupid routhe where theynask your name and then all employees shout "hi Iris!" .??

It is stupidly funny.
