NO!!!

NO!!!!!

An absolute non-starter.

Gowdy Doody?

ROFL!!!!

When I stop laughing, I might be able to post about the good point you made, too, reminding about how big a pass bush/cheney got with that joint, unsworn, and OFF-THE-RECORD Q&A they were allowed to further hose America by doing.

Trumplicans.

Yeah, like with everything else, she'll probably be damned if she does and damned if she doesn't.

She'll face the "oh, she's wearing THAT again?" and on the flip side "how-the-hell many outfits does that woman HAVE, anyway? How much is she spending on her clothes while so many Americans go hungry?" Hillary is probably used to it by now. We're all fortunate that, at least from what we know, it doesn't seem to phase her. After all, she's gonna have to deal with Putin, ISIS, North Korea, and God only knows who/what else. She better be cool and steady and unruffled. Just another one of hundreds of reasons why Trump would not just be bad, he'd be a frickin' World-Class DISASTER!!!!!

It's gonna be a whole new era, paradigm, template, whatever you call it, when a woman wins the Presidency. On levels never before imagined, large and small, globally important and micro-miniscule.

Hey Paige -

if it's any comfort to you, I'm noticing some of that stuff as I get older.

I worked with a female radio colleague who was really depressed one day. It was her birthday. She was bummed: "I'm leaving the demographic!" She was turning 35. The target demo at that time was 18-34. I tried to comfort her by pointing out that "that's not true. You're not leaving the demographic. You're not EVER gonna leave the demographic. That's us Baby Boomers. The target demographic is gonna get older, right along with you! And for a long time, that's been true. But no more! It just hit me a little while ago. We Boomers are no longer the target demo. There are way more Millennials than Baby Boomers now. So THEY'RE the target demo as of now. At least til THEY age and are surpassed by another younger generation.

As far as wanting to thank Bernie, while I do not share these same feelings you've voiced, I do know of one way to thank him in the most concrete and realistic manner. Don't sit home on Election Day. Go vote. MAKE SURE you vote for everybody with a "D" after their names. Because that's the only way to get a Democratic president the support needed actually to get a few things done - INCLUDING a lot of Bernie's ideas and positions he supports. That includes the top job on the bill. Keeping the White House safely in Democratic hands is the only way to ensure that what Bernie wanted to see has a shot at becoming reality. And a GOOD shot at it, too. Plus the consideration of having a "D" or an "R" pick the next Supreme Court nominee(s). If Heaven Forbid we get stuck with an "R" in the White House, a Democratic opposition is the only thing that will prevent that "R" to get his way and run roughshod over the progress that we've managed over long slogs and long decades to make. In this case WE'D have to build a wall. We'd rather desperately need to!

You will have exactly ZERO chance to recognize or honor, or enable, any element of Bernie's movement if you don't do what you can to keep the White House in Democratic hands. NOBODY wants Donald Trump in the driver's seat! I'm certain Bernie's legacy means far more to you than it would mean to desert it in November. And I feel that you AND other Bernie supporters deserve at least a "friendly" in the White House, if indeed you can't have your "best friend" in there. I know it isn't the outcome you had your heart set on. I hope you come to some peace about this.

And yeah. I'm 63 now. Getting older sure can put you through changes!

Hey brer cat - I see in your sig line that photo of Hillary in her pink jacket/top and black pants.

I think that's the same thing she wore earlier today, in her campaign event with President Obama. I think that's also the same pink (or fuchsia?) outfit that she wore when the photo was taken that MSNBC now uses as a Hillary avatar on election nights and poll graphics.

Just a little frivolity. I like to frivol every so often - to reference the late great Gary Owens!

But there is something kind of ridiculous about it - in one respect. I just inadvertently proved that women can be, and ARE, judged by their appearance. Woman politicians, too. Watch for it to accelerate through the rest of election season AND into a first term of presidency. There will be people quipping all over the place about how she's dressed. What she's wearing. WHO she's wearing (did she "Wear American"?), and beyond. You've seen what other First Ladies get. Hell, those of us old enough to remember the 90s can remember how Hillary, too, had lots of people critiquing how she dressed. The uproar over her headbands. Headbands???? Are you freakin' kidding me???? And the pants suits. And her hair. Her business attire and her formal wear. And remember how Laura Bush was often criticized for "wearing the upholstery?" And the whole "Reagan Red" thing that dominated Nancy Reagan's designer closet - to the point that if a woman reporter wanted to get called on during one of Ronnie's press conferences, she strategically wore red to work that day. I'm old enough to remember First Lady Jackie Kennedy. She was probably the most fashionable First Lady EVER, and MAN was that news. Made Oleg Cassini a household name.

Frivolous as hell, ridiculously superficial, but there it is. Maggie Thatcher's favorite skirted-suit color put a new word into popular culture: aubergine (a very dark plum, eggplant color). Former French prez Sarkozy married the haute fashionable supermodel Carla Bruni. While she wasn't a head of state, everything and anything Princess Diana wore was huge news. And Michelle Obama's style, both in business and formal AND casual dress has made a lot of news, starting from the famous factoid that part of her first outfit on Inauguration Morning came from J. Crew. But you just watch. WHATEVER Hillary wears will be of great interest and great controversy I'm sure. PARTICULARLY as President. And it will be MOST interesting to observe the difference in coverage and weight of importance between what's given to a woman President and what's given to the men, and what level of nitpicking will be involved. Even while trivial, this, too, is breaking new and historic ground.

By the way, I happen to find Hillary's style completely workable and flattering for her age, profession, figure, and body type. I like that fuchsia outfit with the black pants. When I was working every day, I had my own version of it.

My husband and I were watching and agreeing: sure glad he's on our side!

Our president is a better "Great Communicator" than Bill Clinton and ronald reagan COMBINED. That's one of reagan's long-recognized nicknames, but Barack Obama stole the rights to it well before the first time he ever set foot inside the Oval Office.

Don't forget that Joni Mitchell lyric:

"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til it's gone."

From "Big Yellow Taxi."

I hope your generation, and others coming up after you all, don't have to find that out the hard way.

Yeah. I fear you're correct, Odin2005.

I once talked with our daughter and some of her friends about that. I URGED them not to take for granted all the progress that their moms and aunts and grandmas fought for, marched for, protested for, petitioned for, and in some cases risked arrest AND also their lives for. They NEED to understand - if you don't remain vigilant, there are too many out there who don't accept the changes that come with the passage of time. They don't like what's happened, and how things aren't like they were in the "good old days" of the 1950s - the way they remember that "Leave it to Beaver" proved. Especially the part about how others than white males are deserving, winning, and asserting the same equal rights - when those same others really oughta know their "proper place." And those "good old days" types WILL seize upon EVERY AND ANY opportunity to take those rights away from you or in the very least, roll those rights back, along with time and the calendar! And you can take that to THE BANK. Ironically enough, those regressives are usually the same ones who don't believe in evolution, either.
