36. Does she still defend the repeal of Glass-Steagall?
Fri Feb 19, 2016, 03:58 PM
Feb 2016

If so, she definitively does not have a good plan. And she apparently still does.

In fact, I can state straight out that it is my opinion that she has no plan whatsoever, other than excuses about why Bernie's plan is unrealistic. Well, that and more wars and an adherence to status quo, both which are apparently not working very well for her in many places.

Sure she might very well win the nomination -- it's her turn (haven't we been here before?) -- but I have some visceral dislike for political dynasties. Being the spouse of an office holder in no way qualifies one to be an office holder. That is true no matter the gender. And political office in the USA is not an inherited position, passed down to other family members. I think we fought a revolution to eliminate such things -- that would be an appropriate citation of Santayana.

You have nothing here. Nada!

The extent that Secy Clinton still defends that vote is the extent that I cannot vote for her in the primary. And it is the extent that I will oppose her for the nomination. Don't get me started about her equivocation and triangulation on her Iraq vote.

I will support and vote for her in the GE, but god help us all if she gets the nod at the convention.
