If Hillary was running against Satan, I’m not sure which of them I would vote for. Of course I’m not talking about the general election, but the primary, since they both represent the same party.
It's crap like this that's tearing the country apart right now. Neither party is the devil incarnate. Neither party is God coming to save the world.
Demonizing the party you don't support doesn't do anything to make things better - it just creates a deeper divide between competing ideologies and causes the offended party to dig their trenches a little deeper and fight a little harder for what they believe. It becomes a "lather, rinse, repeat" on both sides. Then we're fighting each other instead of working with each other to fix some of the problems the country is facing.
We've already got people in Washington who'd rather shut the government down than try to make it work.
We've got Republicans chastising Obama for creating huge deficits when it's the Republicans in Congress who are in control of the purse strings. This idea of chastise and demonize the other guy for anything and everything is not going to do anything to solve our current problems. Unfortunately, some of our politicians (on both sides of the aisle) would have to admit they've made mistakes and the egos are way to big to let that happen.
The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades. We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

I agree that the "us vs them" attitude has grown wildly out of control.
Remind me again what happened to Congressional purse strings in 1995 and 2007?
Bill Clinton's second term when he had a Republican Congress to work with gave us 4 years of annual surpluses. (And a pretty good economy overall). And to Bill's credit even during his first term, the annual deficit went down each year.

JUNE 21--The latest document dump from “Guccifer 2.0,” the hacker who breached the Democratic National Committee’s servers, shows that party

That 1997 to 2001 period really does stand out on those charts. With Trump being the nominee of my party, I might just be voting for another Clinton to work with a Republican congress to see if history can repeat itself.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former Secretary Hillary Clinton failed to turn over a copy of a key message involving problems caused by her use of a private homebrew email server, the State Department confirmed Thursday. The disclosure makes it unclear what other work-related emails may have been deleted by the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
Hillary told her daughter on the night of the Benghazi attack that it was carried out by an “al Qaeda-like group.”
The same night, Clinton released a statement suggesting that the coordinated terrorist attack was actually a spontaneous mob reaction to an anti-Islam YouTube video. For days after, the Obama administration continued to blame the attack on the video and downplay connections to terrorism.
Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. approved the transfer of 20 percent of U.S. uranium to the Russian government, as nine investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Frank Giustra, Canadian mining magnate who created a company that later merged with UraniumOne, gave $31.3 million and a pledge for $100 million to the Clinton Foundation
Frank Holmes, a shareholder in the deal who donated between $250,000 and $500,000 (the Clinton Foundation doesn’t report exact amounts, only in ranges) and is a Clinton Foundation adviser
Neil Woodyer, Frank Giustra’s colleague who founded Endeavor Financial and pledged $500,000 as well as promises of “ongoing financial support”
Robert Disbrow, a Haywood Securities broker, the firm that provided “$58 million in capital to float shares of UrAsia’s private placement,” gave the Clinton’s family foundation between $1 and $5 million, according to Clinton Cash
Paul Reynolds, a Canaccord Capital Inc., executive who donated between $1 million and $5 million. “The UrAsia deal was the largest in Canaccord’s history,” reports Schweizer
Robert Cross, a major shareholder who serves as UrAsia Energy Director who pledged portions of his future income to the Clinton Foundation
Egizio Blanchini, “the Capital Markets vice chair and Global cohead of BMO’s Global Metals and Mining group, had also been an underwriter on the mining deals. BMO paid $600,000 for two tables at the CGS-GI’s March 2008 benefit”
Sergei Kurzin, the Russian rainmaker involved in the Kazakhstan uranium deal and a shareholder in UrAsia Energy, also pledged $1 million to the Foundation
Uranium One chairman Ian Telfer committed $2.35 million
