In reply to Is it time for Hillary Clinton to withdraw from the race for President?

How about, "HELL NO!?" Yes, her numbers are a little wobbly at the moment, but we are WAY too early in the process for that consideration to even be on the table.

I would not call myself a Hillary "fan" by any stretch of the imagination, but I have gained a lot of respect for her since the 2008 election. I think she's earned a shot at this, and even though my values are probably more in line with Bernie Sanders, I am ready for a female president. I think Bernie will pull her to the left, and ultimately, I hope she will adopt the majority of his positions.

As far as baggage goes, yes, she's got baggage. But they all do. And the media will enjoy smacking her around. They are looking for a horse race, not a landslide.

In the end, I'll vote enthusiastically for whoever the Democratic nominee is, but at this point, I still hope it will be Hillary.

Jeez, mama's baby is papa's

Jeez, mama's baby is papa's maybe - didntcha know? A reasonable guess of 1-3% of men are unwittingly raising some other man's child. Perhaps more in 2015 but maybe not - the Tudor lineage went off the rails somewhere and no one knows quite which lass shared her ass. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-30281333&ved=0CBsQFjAAahUKEw...

Long form, pffts.. let's Breitbart him the entire way, let's demand DNA, let's expose his mother, let's drag them through the mud to prove something. Let's get on this bandwagon, let's pick up our pitchforks and run with this, and even when lies have been exposed let's repeat them anyway. Lee Atwater lives! Woooooooo!

Nuts. That will teach me to rely on somebody's citations, rather than going to the primary source. I guess I wouldn't make a good journalist. But I could write for Wikipedia.

Attempting to smear the entire BLM operation over this nonsense is appalling.

I'll assume he knows more about his family history than you do. There's no test to get on a birth certificate. What's next, Hal? You going to ask to see the long form?

How about this guy listed on

How about this guy listed on the birth certificate of a child that his wife had with another man.DNA proved that he wasn't the father.

In reply to Let's talk about facts, these

In presidential primaries, national party rules take precedence over state law, said Thomas Connolly, a spokesman for the [New York State] BOE. As long as Mr. Sanders “espouses party ideals, then actual enrollment [in the Democratic party] is not an issue.”

In reply to Right. So you now have no

I would say one's birth certificate provides a prima facie basis of who one's parents are.

Let's talk about facts, these are stubborn things, and since you support Sanders winning the Democratic Party primary, with emphasis on the words Democratic Party, when is Bernie Sanders going become a Democrat, you know register as a member of the Democratic Party. At this point, he qualifies for exactly 0 primaries. The parties run primaries Hal, parties pay for the printing of the damn ballots and parties organize, pay for and run caucuses. At this point Bernie Sanders does not qualify in any state to run on the Democratic Party ticket.
