It was positive post I thought. I also want to get support for Ted Strickland who I have known since I was 7 he is great guy and would do a lot for Ohio and America. I don't dislike Bernie at all I really like him, but I have met the Clintons they are great people. Hillary is very warm and personable. She listened to my concerns as a young single mother in 1992, she actually did what she said she would. She has been the voice for children for decades. I think you would like her if you met her.

someone was saying how they were being boastful of the large amount. Then someone mentioned the Bernie supporters do it too. Yet I have not seen anyone saying they donated more than $20 to Bernie though some may have. So yes, on the topic of bragging about your high dollar donation, and "Sanders people do it too" type replies, then amount does come up.

Just last week someone was stating that they just donated another $500 to Bernie. I didn't take it as bragging then, and I don't know how many times they have donated $500 to Bernie. I took it to mean they were serious and confidant of their chosen candidate.

So much sour grapes goin on on this thread. Petty, sour grapes.

We're all democrats, and IMO the merits of one over the other can be discussed without making everything a pissing contest. I just want to see a democrat in the WH in 2016. If that does not happen, millions and millions in this country are going to be totally screwed by the republicans. And, then, there are the SCOTUS nominations, eventually. Disaster could be spelled for a generation or two with major republican victories in 2016. Democrats need to stick together!

Hell... we nominated Joe Lieberman to be a heart-beat away from the Presidency...

Then he loses his Primary in 2006, and goes Third-Party.

Again... WHICH Democrats ???

Mon Jan 4, 2016, 10:40 PM

not supported by the DNC.

Strickland refuses to debate him....

Of course you don't know his name, third way DNC doesn't want you to...

Sittenfeld. 31 years old. The liberal fresh-thinking outsider we need in congress. The one only 1 voter out of 10 in Ohio have ever heard of....

And just like everything good that is possible, DNC will bury him.

....In his interview with RCP, Sittenfeld described the incumbent as inherently linked to the problems with Washington given his two-plus decades of experience in Congress and the Bush administration. Many of Sittenfeld’s complaints about Portman, however, also apply to Strickland, who spent a decade in Congress before becoming governor and then taking the reins of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, a liberal Washington think tank, after losing his 2010 re-election.

“I think there is a huge appetite for fresh thinkers and new leaders and just people that can bring new perspectives to the table,” Sittenfeld said. “That’s one thing that people like, say, a Rob Portman, who has just been entrenched in the culture of Washington for decades, that’s just not helpful and it’s not what we need more of."

Ted Strickland is a friend of my late father and I went to school with his nephews and niece. I am not the person to post negative things to pertaining to a loved and respected Ohioan who is also a family friend.
