suppose the part about Wall Street needing to regulate itself could bother progressives, but perhaps her views have evolved somewhat.

DON’T GET COMPLACENT. When we get complacent, assholes who want to turn us back to 1950 win.

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH THIS IS SOME GROUNDBREAKING EARTHSHAKING SCANDALOUS STUFF, UP IN HERE!!!!1!!!

WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!!!!!!1!!!1 Hillary’s speeches were released and finally it shows us that....wait, wut? She’s kind of moderate and...boring? Whatevs. BENGHAZI! NEVER FORGET THE EMAILS.

How many times has that particular thing been called? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but, again — let’s not get complacent.

I’m sorry- is there something here about Clinton that we didn’t know about earlier? Yes, Clinton is a moderate- we know that. Yes, Clinton believes in a mixed economy, combining both capitalism and social programs- we know that.

“My father loved to complain about big business and big government, but we had a solid middle class upbringing. We had good public schools. We had accessible health care. We had our little, you know, one-family house that, you know, he saved up his money, didn’t believe in mortgages... Now, obviously, I’m kind of far

My only fear is they really do have something substantial and they’ll wait another week or so. I keep hearing murmurings of things like ‘She sold weapons to isis!’, which I don’t believe she would have done, but I also believe if she did would be problematic for the campaign.

I’ve read most - not all, but most - of this and there’s no there there. Everything she’s saying is completely in the realm of what I’d expect from her. Or any intelligent adult that understands politics, economics, etc - particularly on the level SHE does.

But the real doozie was this little tidbit captured backstage on a hot mic when Hillary glibly declares “sometimes you just have to grab life by the dick!”

srsly. i was expecting some president snow in the capitol hunger games shit. this is a big fat nothing.

Honestly, the only thing I see giving her any trouble is where she said, “My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders.”

Scandal of the century.

Wikileaks as in the site edited by Julian Assange alleged rapist?

Indeed! Over in Europe, watching this and alternating between being scared of Trump and realizing that this shit-show is going to end up ushering in a Democratic period not just for the presidency, but possibly the Senate & House. To me, this is frankly reassuring, because holy shit Europe is scary right now.

I think most politicians are so carefully managed to avoid major catastrophic gaffes that they can come off as robotic - once they’re out, they can act like people again. Like, if Lindsey Graham had talked about murdering Ted Cruz while he was in the race, there’d have been three days of interviews where Ted Cruz

It’s reminiscent of Al Gore in a strange way. He’s way more appealing when he’s already out of the race.

Liking people you hate for hating people you hate even more is so confusing.

“Donald Trump is so orange that he makes John Boehner look like an albino.”

Aw, shit yeah, bro! Not all men! You’re so brave!
