What happened to South Florida's insane comment about wanting Hillary to be forced to have sex with Bernie?
Hillary's line to Julius Jones of BLM is maybe the most brilliant thing anyone has ever said about effecting change in American society: “I don’t believe you change hearts. I believe you change laws, you change allocations of resources, you change the way systems operate.”
Hearts change generationally, sometimes in response to changed laws or changed systems, but mostly in response to interactions with friends and family.
But political movements can and should push for changes in laws and systems and allocations of resources.

Too bad her Husband's "changes" as President didn't benefit those who are now part of the BLM movement.

Two generations ago.
You've got to be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens, the room where it happens.
Hillary Clinton's Lead Narrows In Race For Democratic Nomination
"WASHINGTON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Hillary Clinton's lead in the race for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination has narrowed and her overall favorability ratings have fallen to their lowest levels since 2001, CNN reported on Wednesday.
It said 47 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters surveyed in a poll this month said they supported Clinton for the party's nomination, down 9 points since July and marking "the first time her support has dipped below 50 percent in national CNN/ORC polling on the race."
Backing for Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, her closest rival for the Democratic nomination, has risen 10 points since July to 29 percent, CNN said. Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to announce whether he will run, is third at 14 percent."
"What happened to South Florida's insane comment about wanting Hillary to be forced to have sex with Bernie?" I erased it. It was a bad joke.

He has pulled ahead in NH.... so, there's that.
Anyone can win New Hampshire. Wake me when he wins a real state.

REAL CLEAR POLITICS: Could Hillary Clinton Lose the Nomination?
Anyone can win New Hampshire. Wake me when he wins a real state.
Hey, my home state! Pick on someone your own size!
I hope the Clinton campaign keeps sleeping too!

Well, it's true, isn't it?
It's only "true" because it is convenient for you and benefits your beloved criminal. If she regains the lead in NH, I suspect you'll immediately change your tune... Magically, that state will matter again!

Wump wuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"The Debbie Downer whom no one invited to the party, who can contribute nothing but his own implicit superiority to the uninformed or willingly blinkered masses."
My father has never voted for a Democrat in his life. When I was talking to him this week I almost passed out when he told me he hoped to get the chance to vote for Bernie Sanders. I didn't even think my father knew who Bernie Sanders was....
Republicans for Bernie Sanders: Why the democratic socialist is sweeping his home state
"... as NPR’s “Morning Edition” found out last year, some of Bernie’s biggest fans are in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, the poorest and most conservative part of the state.
It’s people from the Northeast Kingdom who’ve overwhelmingly elected Bernie to almost 20 years in Congress and two straight terms as senator, and it’s people like them in the rest of the country who will probably send Bernie to the White House if he gets the Democratic nomination for president.
So why is that?
Why is Bernie Sanders, a socialist, so popular with people who should hate “socialism?”
The answer is pretty simple.
While Americans disagree on social issues like gay marriage and abortion, they’re actually pretty unified on the bread and butter economic issues that Bernie has made the core of his campaign.
In fact, a recent poll by the Progressive Change Institute, shows that Americans overwhelmingly agree with Bernie on key issues like education, health care and the economy.
Like Bernie, 75 percent of Americans poll support fair trade that “protects workers, the environment and jobs.”
Seventy-one percent support giving all students access to a debt-free college education.
Seventy-one percent support a massive infrastructure spending program aimed at rebuilding our broken roads and bridges, and putting people back to work.
Seventy percent support expanding Social Security.
Fifty-nine percent support raising taxes on the wealthy so that millionaires pay the same amount in taxes as they did during the Reagan administration.
Fifty-eight percent support breaking up the big banks.
Fifty-five percent support a financial transaction or Robin Hood tax.
Fifty-one percent support single payer health care, and so and so on."
And here’s the thing – supporting Social Security, free college, breaking up the big banks, aren’t “progressive” policies, they’re just common sense, and 60 years ago they would have put Bernie Sanders smack dab in the mainstream of my father’s Republican Party."

He doesn't yet. Because the Republicans are wisely holding back their warheads aimed at Sanders for now.
In fact, a recent poll by the Progressive Change Institute, shows that Americans overwhelmingly agree with Bernie on key issues like education, health care and the economy.
Those all sound so great! Who doesn't like "Fair Trade That Protect Workers, the Environment, and Jobs", or "Medicare Buy-In For All" or "End Tax Loopholes for Corporations That Ship Jobs Overseas". Everything is awesome!
There's no way anyone could frame those issues as negatives for the common man. Nope. No way. Finally, with President Sanders, we will achieve the nirvana we deserve.

The hope and change we were promised seven years ago will finally see the light of day!
There's a lot of mind reading going on in this thread!
If anyone thinks I think Sanders is some progressive God who is going to ride into the white house on his flying unicorn and pass a magical progressive agenda through congress...you would be wrong.
Oh...and BB...you're analysis is about my father is also wrong.
Great! We're in agreement that Bernie will not deliver on his promises, then. Now we just need to settle on how much he will let his followers down.

We also need to settle on the number of laws that Hillary Clinton will inevitably break as one of the most corrupt, slimiest politicians to ever exist.
Yadda,yadda,yadda, but they are ALL the same.
My how tiresome.
