51. Oh, for fuck's sake, can we PLEASE let the primaries go?

Jan 2017

Or shall we just preemptively hand our asses over for 2020?

Has Hillary been particularly vocal in opposing Trump? I sure haven't heard much. Seems she's taking a different tact. Any chance that, as a former First Lady, Senator and SOS, that she did not want to be associated with the protest?
