The CHANGE bit was just marketing, as it always is. Look at the track record more than promises.

BTW, Hillary's the one from Chicago, not from Arkansas, the one who knows how to organize & not get distracted with skirt. And she's not genetically related to Bill & has a real live posh degree from some little school called Yale - & not a legacy acceptance like W - and another called Wellesley.

Maybe a bit tired of all this dynasty crap - she helped build that brand straight out of college, she's welcome to use it more than Ted Kennedy whose family had some Congressman step down to give him his first political spot - that's a Dynasty. And BTW, she tried to keep her name Rodham but was seen as uppity, so she ditched it, took it for the team, like women typically do, like she moved to more conservative hair styles just to satisfy the whims of the chatty classes. Yeah, Bill could have done the law firm work and raised the kid while she ran for political office, but that's not how it's done, is it?

I should've known that,

I should've known that, because a lot of the retirees are going there from here...and back ;)

Yes this is the year of the outsider. This is going to be a really different election cycle. Who would of predicted Walker's crash and burn and now JEB can't seem to get traction? Will Hillary hang on to her lead? I am not going to try to predict that because of the mood the country is in.

For your information Florida is very hard to poll because of the comings and goings of the retirees.

I like to point out once in a while that there is other lenses that people look through when it comes to political races. Those of us who are not well taken care of or struggle to make it through the month look much closer to issues then we are given credit for. The status quo hasn't worked for some of us that includes very well polished presidential looking candidates that get elected. It takes more then polish to get up the enthusiasm that it take for people here to vote.

Thanks, everyone, for your comments. I love that we can do this, here. Argue and persuade and reason and explain, and remain cordial. I'm not always cordial, so I thank you for allowing me to say my piece anyway. :)

I'll try to summarize what I'm seeing and why I'm feeling so strongly so "quickly" about Bernie Sanders. Synch, btw, has been doing a great job doing both in my absence this week.

I'm seeing some really strange reactions to Trump. I, myself, do not take him seriously and neither does most of my family. But friends and coworkers and strangers around me and far are all liking him, and if they don't like him, they like Carson. The polls reflect this.

They all want an outsider.

Those of us who know Bernie Sanders' history know he's not an outsider.

But he's not a Clinton, either.

His campaign is going insane on the inside. He polls better, by state, against Republicans, in all the early states except Florida so far (and Momoe is working hard on changing that).

People across the country, and across party lines, want an outsider. Someone not influenced by Wall Street or years of moving up in politics.

Bernie moved up in politics, yes, but his politics remained the same. He's been a consistent fighter for decades. His only weak spot in the Vegas debate was his stance on guns, and he got the point across that, yes, he comes from a rural state full of hunters. And, hey folks, at the time he voted he was representing his state - not running for President.

I want an outsider who's proven not to be influenced, nor have baggage. Bernie works with Republicans on bills. Go up this thread and read one of Synch's links about it.

All I'm asking is that we consider what America wants - and needs - and not just what Dems want - and need.

Trudeau is now Prime Minister, again. Clinton and Bush are both running, again.

Didn't we all just vote for CHANGE these past two cycles???

Momoe, this comment should be a post. It speaks that perfectly.

One night in Bangkok? Stagger Lee crossdresses for a line show? Meets Smackwater Jack/Jane, find true love? Get caught in the militia crackdown on nightclubs and turns into The Year of Living Dangerously? With that short guy who's actually a woman (was that supposed to be part of the plot or only something we know about the actress via IMDB?). And then an alien's head pops out of the main character's stomach and they all fight against Communism. Hmmm, lost the thread, someone help me out.

In reply to Lulu, I meant Benghazi.

Yeah, but what starts as a friendly knife fight is when Stagger Lee breaks out his short-barreled bad forty-four and Sugar Magnolia is there to jump right in.
