Hillary....Hillary.....Hillary

I don't like you. You are what is wrong with politics. You lie and call it "misspeaking". You claim that your "misspeaking" is due to being sleep-deprived and ignore that the President is likely the most sleep deprived person in the world. You say "I regret if you were offended" and call it an apology. You make fun of your opponent's strongest qualities. You attack those who disagree with you and call them sexist. You imply very racist things about your opponent and tell us we're the awful ones when we understand the subtext. You feign ignorance when it is convenient for you.

You have turned out to be quite a disappointment. A year ago, I was excited about the prospect of a female president. But I'm not going to pull for you just because you're a female. I would rather have somebody that I like, or at least feel like I can trust.

You have to watch this

I couldn't turn away from this train wreck last night. It will be rebroadcast next Friday night.

I held Emerson as I watched this. I told her I loved her exactly as she is. Her skin is just the right color, her hair is beautiful without Aquanet, and her lack of teeth is OK with me. I hope she realizes from the start that there are more important things in life anyway.
