Most of my republican friends who are the most vocal are voting for Gary Johnson, and most of my democrat friends want to vote for Hillary but are afraid to admit it because of the bullshit conspiracy theories floating about. No state should be voting for Orange Tiny Hands, and I want to think it's going to be a clean sweep for Hillary but I think the results are going to be a lot closer than we think.

The question becomes how does this move forward to the next generation? BlueStreak Oct 2016 #1
I think this is a nice compliment for Bernie Sanders and INdemo Oct 2016 #14
Being more progressive has IMPROVED Hillary's electoral chances BlueStreak Oct 2016 #24
