    Besides the fact she is stupid, sneaky and evil. I would rather have Bill back than her.

    What makes you say that Phurby? Specifically, I mean. I'd love to hear concrete examples of all three, if possible.

    Sure. Of the three, that's the one that you could make a case for. I've never known her to be stupid (although I would agree that her judgement of character isn't the best!), and evil is, well, mostly if you're racist or sexist or commit business fraud or engage in sexual misconduct - that sort of thing. Surely beneath anyone aspiring to the highest office of the land.

    You wanna see pessimistic? THIS is pessimistic. Read the whole thread. (Don't forget to "show more".)

    There Are 868 Fewer Places to Vote in 2016 Because the Supreme Court Gutted the Voting Rights Act

    In June 2013, Percy Bland was elected as the first black mayor of Meridian, Mississippi, where the Ku Klux Klan abducted the civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Mickey Schwerner during Freedom Summer in 1964. A month after Bland’s election the Supreme Court gutted the VRA, and in 2015 the majority-white board of elections in Lauderdale County closed seven polling places over objections from the mayor. That included eliminating a polling place at the historic Mt. Olive Baptist Church, a major site during the civil-rights movement, as the place where the singer Pete Seeger announced that the bodies of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner had been discovered after they were missing for 44 days. “In an effort to honor the legacy of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in order that we enjoy our civil rights, we proudly offer our historic facilities [as a polling site],” said church spokesman Ronald Turner.
