I give it a 5/7. Almost as good as the dark night.

I think such nicknames really add to the quality of the political debate. On both sides. There's nothing more likely to begin a civil conversation about political ideologies than starting off by applying an insulting nickname or amusing description of the person you're talking about. Bound to bring only good things, that is. |

LOLWUT?
Is that a percentage? If so, where is the missing 25%? If it is a headcount you need help. WTF is the 1? WTF is the 2? WTF is the 1? LOLWUT? For what? That was 2 years ago. Trump got in. Hillary is nowhere. WTF? Well, duh. |

I got mostly d's in highschool. What can I get with that. I met a manufacturer of gemstones in highschool that would pay for my schooling but I needed a B average.
Points are talking points I agree with with vs points I disagree. Points that I was neutral on were not counted. Go to the link and add up the points. I think the problem with Hillery was that she ran on a populist platform but did not run a populist campaign. Maybe she was just not feeing it; maybe she had bad advisors |

THERE WERE 13 OF HER TALKING POINTS ON THE ECONOMY THAT I EITHER AGREED OR DISAGREED WITH. 12 I AGREED WITH AND WITH ONE I DISAGREED. THAT WAS NOT OBCVIOUS. MAYBE I NEED TO WORK ON MY MATHS.
I JUST GOT A TEXT TELLING ME WHERE MY VOTING AREA WAS. I RESIDENCE WAS CHALLENGED LAST YEAR SO I AM PLANNING ON BRINGING A UTILITY BILL ALONG JUST IN CASE. I AM GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT A BETTER FRACTION. 12/1.1 IN FAVOR OF HILLERY'S POSITION ON THE ECONOMY. YOU CAN CALL IT A PONY RACE. I PREFER TO CALL IT A HORSE RACE. |

Brant,
Hillary is not running in 2020. Start working on some other theory, but honestly if you haven't figured out that the current political horizon in the US is all Party Party Party by now, I'm not going to hold out much hope. |

I think the fraction I should have used was 12/13 in favor of Hillbilly's views on the economy. This can be correct of considering that hillbilly is an antonym and/or google choice of Hillary. Just type Hilly and see what google lists for choices. Still, since I agree with most of her talking points from 2016 and back. I think I would still vote for her should she run again in 2020.

What 'fact'? I haven't even taken the time to read through everyone's response, only to add, this persistent narrative that Hillary Clinton is a slippery compulsive liar while Donald Trump is a gutsy truth-teller, despite Trump having so far racked up 6,420 lies since taking office (and counting) (and not to include the endless amount of taxpayer money spent since White Water investigating Hillary, only to come up empty handed with the expected residual), I can only question the motive behind your OP, as well that 'fact' you so speak of.
I suppose next you'll ask: Why is it we haven't locked her up yet? |

I am going to buy a Bernie Tee if its under 30 bucks. I got a text from his organization and thats the only one who reached out to me so so I am solidly in Bernies camp. If I can find one I will Change my avatar to me wearing the Bernie shirt. Bernies tee's are 27 bucks but only go up to 3x on his site. I can buy a bootleg tee but I am not sure why I would do that.

If they're the only campaign that "reached out to you" that means they're the only campaign that had your contact information. Probably because Bernie is the only leading candidate on the Dem side who ran last time, and they had you on a list from the previous election cycle.

I think that being on a spam list is a great reason for voting for Bernie. I mean you got a phone call! Bernie cares about you personally!
I voted for Hillary last time because she wore a blue coat once. I have a blue coat! |

I'm encouraged by the sagacity of the voting public. Hats out, shirts in. What could possibly go wrong?

Actually they could have gotten my name from a list of registered Democrats. The only reason I am doubting that is that is casting a pretty wide net

Seems you're worth casting it for though.
When will you be changing your avatar to the Bernie T? |

Tee is shipping now. I assume his campaign got some money from it because his name is on it

Selling overpriced T Shirts is something just about every candidate does to raise funds.

Bought a Bernie hat from the actual campaign site for 31 bucks. It's union made and looks nice and will be a nice addition to my rear window. I will just keep it there up every year all year. Like some people do with Christmas trees.

There is some mild irony here in that had she actually herself sold "Hillbilly Hillary" T-shirts and played up her Arkansas connections and showed a sense of humor in doing so it would have been an improvement on her actual campaign in the states that bit her on the butt, harmless in the ones she won, and she'd be president right now.

The rest of us see your avatar as right-side up. It's just you. I've tried reading this thread upside-down and it still makes no sense. ETA: Friendly question - you posted personal identifiable something rather in your previous thread. Good idea? I assume that is your car. |

Not getting spammed a lot from this site. I posted this pic on Facebook after getting a nice greeting from President Trump and family on Facebook. Now I am not getting them and I am just getting posts from family now. They seem to be walling me
