Vote for the Dem nominee because you want to carpet bomb even more countries in the ME and around the world, because that's where the Dem heart is at? Because you think cluster bombs are a good thing? Because you're fine with Kissinger's exterminations of whole populations, his overthrow of democracies - and you're fine with the overthrow of democracy in Honduras? Because that's where your conscience has brought you to?
Vote for the Dem nominee because you think all politicians are corrupt and on the take to the tune of 10's and 100's of millions, and that's where you think Dems should be at too - in fact paving the way, in the lead?
Vote for the Dem nominee because she promises that she can get things done with the Republicans, and by pissing on the left?
I think the Dems running behind Hillary Clinton will be blown right out of the water. It'll be a joke.
A turnip could beat such a party.
