No, I see blacks being gunned down in the streets by the police. I see black churches being gunned down by white supremacists. What’s worse.

Please look into the issues regarding school segregation today before calling me an asshole for pointing out facts that you find inconvenient to furthering your agenda of claiming that America is some bastion of racial harmony. This is a good starting point:
And we still have unarmed black people getting gunned down in our streets by the police, largely segregated schools, an incredibly large prison population comprised disproportionately of blacks, an entire region of our country flying the Confederate flag, terrorism against black churches, and on and on...
That was my point. America doesn’t get to claim the high ground on racism when we have politicians doing the same race baiting as European politicians.
I have. I don’t think they sound terribly different than the Republican Party.
I don’t know about much more. We are the country where the leading presidential candidate for one of the two political parties has made his campaign about the dangers of immigrants.
The baseball team is a non-core business line for the Rockies. They specialize in party planning and providing a place for thousands of alcoholics people in their twenties to drink socialize.
I never said he’d be a detriment. I said his popularity wouldn’t necessarily translate to her and I cited Black Lives Matter and their criticisms of her and her husband’s administration as proof of that statement. I stand by that statement. Again, that's not saying he won't win votes for her, it's saying that whatever…
I have no problem acknowledging anything as long as it’s logically and demonstrably true. I have no doubt Bill Clinton has minority and liberal independent appeal. I do doubt he has enough appeal to carry his wife to the White House. Nothing you’ve said has convinced/proven otherwise. Enjoyed the chat though. Cheers.
I’ll concede the reelection was more impressive. But dethroning an incumbent with 43% of the vote is hardly a mandate and it showed through his first term.
Yeah, but you can’t say he has the broad independent appeal when he lost votes to Ross Perot of all people. He won a plurality both times against weak competition.
If he’s so popular with independents why didn’t he ever win a majority of the vote?
I read that and it was the most left since 1972, not ever. And it’s all subjective. Tell me what policies she has proffered that wouldn’t be supported by the current administration or the Democratic party as a whole?
That’s probably fair. I agree she’ll probably get some minority support via their love of her husband. Nevertheless, Bill is not popular nationally. He’s as hated by the right as he is loved by the left. Hillary is just as polarizing. I’m not busting on Hillary. I think she could be a good president. I’m just pointing…
You think that tiny little scandal is worse than the perception of Hillary to the majority of the country?
What policies of hers are significantly left of Hillary’s and/or unpalatable to a majority of Americans?
I don’t doubt black people love Bill, but I’m not sure that translates fully to his wife. Bill is also amazingly polarizing in this country. He never won a majority in his two presidential runs. He was a shill to Dick Morris and his incessant polling and I think you underestimate her involvement in the Clinton White…
New York Times this morning has Hillary trailing in a national poll against Ben Carson, Jeb, and tied with Trump. I don’t put much stock in early polls and I’m not saying she won’t win. I’m just saying her unfavorables are very disconcerting given the importance of this election.
She’s no further left than Bernie or Hillary as far as I can tell. She hasn’t been highlighted on the national scene. And I wasn't arguing necessarily practicality of her run as much as the fact that the Dems are taking a risk being so cocksure running Hillary. I could be wrong, but I suspect this election will be…
If Barack Obama can win Iowa and NC, then I think Warren can.
