Even the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican...

I respect both of the Democratic candidates, and will gladly vote for either as opposed to Trump.

It's like a choice between blue, green, or a kick to the groin. Some prefer one color, some prefer the other, but both are better than a swift kick... right?

Political discourse at a Pre-K intellectual level.

I would take Eisenhower or Teddy Roosevelt over Bill Clinton any day of the week.

Hillary is *far* from being the worst Democrat. Lots of things get said in the heat of battle during the primaries, but the Hillary-hate has gotten out of hand and has crossed-over into very unrealistic territory.

We could have nominated Jim Webb. That was a choice.

It hasn't been all that long since Joe Lieberman was our V.P. nominee.

Clinton's positions on most issues are identical to those of President Obama.

Yes, many of us wanted to nominate someone who would move our party, and our country, further to the left. And Hillary isn't that person. But neither is she the monster that so many make her out to be.

Some people might get the idea that there are other people on the ballot besides an R and a D.
