“That bad”?
He was (some would stay “is”) within striking distance, and he’s been running for just over a year. Hillary Clinton has been campaigning since 2007, has collected billions of dollars in SuperPAC money, and she’s having trouble closing the deal against a self-described socialist.

Didn’t Obama do it with mostly ‘micro-donations’? In any event, good to see that it can be done.

Since this is the The Slot, the obvious conclusion we are supposed to draw is that Hillary is A WONDERFUL PERFECT QUEEN GODDESS AND IF YOU DARE DISAGREE THEN YOU HATE ALL OF THE WOMEN WHO HAVE EVER BEEN OR EVER WILL BE! /s

In Vermont, Sanders got almost $10 per capita.

Tell that to all the black people who are in jail for that very thing.

Snort laughter!

comparing men’s tuxedo/suits is always a fun game of “spot the differences”.

So who do you think will? A four times bankrupt failed businessman whom Fortune magazine said was worth basically what he inherited, about $300MM, and a businessman so pathetic that a decent mutual fund could have yielded more? Or a religious head case who would like nothing more than an end of days, with him at the…

The good old days

“She wanted to say something nice about a dead person”

Satan vs. Santa? Give me a fucking break. The only person calling Clinton “satan” is you, over and over again sarcastically, in response to any criticism of her, no matter how concrete or valid. Can we not have adult conversations about the candidates?

I’ve been supporting Clinton since the start of the campaign season (though would be happy to vote Sanders should he get the nom). I also have a career in public health. This incident really caused me to have some serious doubts on who I was casting my vote for. The Reagan’s handling of HIV/AIDS is likely the biggest…

Personally, I’d be pretty fucking charmed by a presidential candidate who cut through the bullshit like that, but obviously it’d never be a clinton.

Ryan White was a charming young straight boy who acquired the disease as the result of a transfusion — not one of those dirty, dirty gays who were struck down by their own nasty behavior. Reagan embraced the Ryan Whites, sure, but turned his back on the affected gay community.

It’s not like anybody called out Michael Jackson as a child molester at his funeral...

It was odd that in a statement purportedly honoring the “brave lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people” who fought for HIV/AIDS research and treatment in the early days, the only one she managed to mention by name was a heterosexual career Congressman.

Well, yes, but I also doubt anyone went to his funeral and praised him for all the good work he did in his life to stop child molesters.

Yeah, it’s mind-boggling to think about, but this sort of “unforced error” is incredibly characteristic of her (and her husband, for that matter). Remember the email thing? Breaking the rules with her own private email server to avoid some ginned up “scandal” about their contents, and thereby creating an actual…

Exactly. I didn’t see “I’m sorry,” or “I apologize” anywhere in her statement (and it would have been nice to see her squeeze at least one of those in before she started on all of the self praise).

While it was an admission of a mistake, there was no actual apology.
