it's precisely that "she has displayed more or less of the qualities and/or flaws than the presidents [we]'ve already had" that makes me terrified.
Ok. I can see that makes sense.

Though as toher being a habitual liar - Trump seems to have that same quality. And he seems as happy to brag without having earned bragging rights as he is with having earned them. Some of his business ventures have been great successes. Some have been collossal failures of judgement losing himself and others vast sums of money.

Best hope his presidency catches him when he is making good investment decisions, rather than those that have left the people who trusted him bankrupt.

Has he made any great business decisions since the 80s, other than "The Apprentice"? And how involved is he with the actual business side of making that show?

Sanders would have been a better candidate. Clinton's only fresh from a demographic perspective, her politics and tactics aren't. Sanders seems to have an actual set of belliefs and some genuinely new ideas and approaches.

Socialism/communism is not new at all.

Neither has worked anywhere they have been tried.

To some perhaps, but to the vast majority its her lack of character and her repeated bullshit from the time of white water to the present. She hasn't made a good decision since saying yes to Bill. Without him and his name she would be NOTHING.

Come on, how is this relevant to our current presidential election cycle? Serious, honest question.

You might have noticed that we have a true blue, dyed-in-the-wool socialist running for President. And you will have a tough time convincing me that the Democratic party is not already there with the GOPe flirting with them from outside the window.

Oh, who's a "true blue, dyed-in-the-wool socialist"? Can't be Clinton, Wall Street/Big Banks don't pay socialists to give speeches. Must be Bernie. So Bernie's a "true blue, dyed-in-the-wool socialist"? No wonder the 1% hate him, he might delay their march to 1890.

People keep listing reasons to dislike Hillary, where Trump is even more so.

Sheesh, she doesn't hate Donald Trump in a thread titled "I can't Hate Donald Trump" that you started. Then, just because she says something about somebody else, you're all "Oh, who's a..., Can't be..., Must be..., So..., and No wonder...

Fussy...fussy...fussy!

Supporting the middle class is NOT socialism. You've drunk the Kool Aid, Pam.

What is "the middle class"? I think I saw a show about it on the History Channel.

Whether or not you agree with Sanders or believe that he's more moderate in reality, it is a fact that Bernie himself says that he is an avowed socialist. Those are his own words.
