That was overflowing with honesty.

It was so full of honesty I don't see any angle to argue with you on it.

Stop doing that....:-)

-Regardless, when I see someone use the term I think less of the persons opinion, unless its used as snark or hypocritical way.

I view it as a partisan cheerleader trying to win rather than the accusation carrying any real sincerity.

-Was it a failure? idk I just read she was on the task force back in the 90s, CHIPS is feather in her cap.

In August 1994, Democratic Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell introduced a compromise proposal that would have delayed requirements of employers until 2002 and exempted small businesses. However, "even with Mitchell's bill, there were not enough Democratic Senators behind a single proposal to pass a bill, let alone stop a filibuster."[29] A few weeks later, Mitchell announced that his compromise plan was dead and that health care reform would have to wait at least until the next Congress. The defeat was embarrassing for the administration, emboldened Republicans, and contributed to the notion that Hillary Clinton was a "big-government liberal" as decried by conservative opponents.[30]

The 1994 mid-term election became, in the opinion of one media observer, a "referendum on big government " Hillary Clinton had launched a massive health-care reform plan that wound up strangled by its own red tape".[31] In that 1994 election, the Republican revolution, led by Newt Gingrich, gave the GOP control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate for the first time since the 83rd Congress of 1953"1954, ending prospects for a Clinton-sponsored health care overhaul. Comprehensive health care reform in the United States was not seriously considered or enacted by Congress until Barack Obama's election in 2008, and the U.S. remains the only developed country without universal health care.

-Michelle Obama on line 1 for you.

I took her call. She thanked me for not including her on a list of potential candidates for POTUS.

She enjoys the quip about her polling better than Trump and doing exactly nothing for that......but that's as far as it goes.

But she's grateful to you for the shout out.

-Democrats typically use "Hitler" to refer to the of opposite side

Hitler
Nazi
Racist
Pedo

the list is so long and overused.....everyone is desensitized to all of it.

-I am surprised Obama didn't tap her expertise for Obamacare.

I think the health care reform attempt during the Clinton Administration failed in a way that it was decided NOT to publicly attach her to Obamacare....or at least do it very carefully.

-None of these were Sec State

I already clearly pointed that out.

The argument is the weight given to a first lady.

And to be fair, Hillary was certainly more a politically active first lady than most (if not all) others.

so that is yet another plus for Danforth's argument.

The argument is that blacks are harmed by illegal immigrants MORE than another ethnic group.

FTA

"African Americans are losing more jobs to illegal immigrants than to other racial or ethic groups, yet low income black workers don't have political input in the debate."

Now, I don't really care because if it's not illegal immigrants, then another ethnic group is blamed for the continued plight of blacks.....so someone has to shoulder first place in that race.

And what Corky posts is also correct....so get over it is my message.

But it's a slippery slope for the democratic party to have 1 faction being harmed by another faction that democrats rely heavily on both for electoral success.

-Democrats don't have anything to offer anymore except hate

social wedge and divisive issues are used by both sides and the opposite side always refers to it as "hate".

-None of those folks on your list can click as many boxes, when they were candidates.

Obviously, I'm giving weight to winning elections and re-elections and years of tenure in Congress and/or a governors mansion.

She carpetbagged an easy senate seat the DNC rolled out the red carpet and financed.

sorry....3 ladies.

-Why pretend 8 years in the WH teaches nothing?!? Anyone, especially a savvy former state First Lady, learns how Washington politics works.

So, Barbara Bush, Melania Trump, Jill Biden learned how it all works?

Who in the entire Washington DC circuit believes those 2 ladies are even 1 step closer to being qualified to be POTUS?

Do you? I realize none of those women sought political office after living in the WH so it's different but Washington doesn't think much of first ladies.

Hillary is the all time exception to the rule. First lady experience is virtually meaningless.....except for Hillary.

Don't get me wrong.....I place the appropriate weight to serving in the senate and sec. of state.
