Go back under your rock. As dumb as "she is trying to take it from the first Jewish pres candidate" HERVEPA Jun 2016 #37

Except, he's 3 million votes and around 175 pledged delegates behind. Doesn't work ;) ashtonelijah Jun 2016 #43

Doh! I'm talking about the Jewish vs. woman thing. Can you understand that part? HERVEPA Jun 2016 #50

You'd have a point if he were leading by hundreds of delegates and she was pushing SD's PeaceNikki Jun 2016 #59

No. The push against Hillary is not because she's a woman. It's because of her policies. HERVEPA Jun 2016 #76

It doesn't matter if the push to overturn the will of the people is or is not BECAUSE she's a woman, PeaceNikki Jun 2016 #78

And almost none of that is because she's a woman, and most all because of her policies and practices HERVEPA Jun 2016 #80
