All personal attacks and invectives. Short on substance; a page out of Hillary’s 2016 book.

I know it’s asking a lot from some of you, but please, dig a little deeper:

[Deign](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/deigned): To vouchsafe

[Vouchsafe](https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=vouchsafe): Reveal or disclose

At least get correct whatever pathetic little substance you can muster before using it to attack me. I’m not here to educate you all on grammar. This was Deign-Minus work.

What do you think this forum is for? Rehashing arguments you were unable to make effectively in the other forums?

Your criticism of Hillary’s video were “short on substance” – you’ve still failed to explain what exactly is wrong with the mix of ethnicities and demographics in the video, and what would be an appropriate mix that would eliminate such criticism.

No personal attack. Simply the note that you are saying something different in this thread than you said in the earlier thread and that you have still utterly failed to demonstrate why anyone should give serious consideration to your ludicrous use of the word “warfare.”

I would vote for her over Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz, possibly Rand Paul, Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, etc. In other words, she’s a safe, adequate choice among a backdrop of crazy moron.

ROTFLMAO!

Hillary is not going to win. After the absolute clusterfuck that the Obama administration has been, the Dems could nominate Jeebuz and he wouldn’t win.

And really…this is the best you can do? Someone who got an American ambassador killed and then lied about it to the American public? Oh, and let’s not forget the emails, either. The only thing she has going for her is the name Clinton, and that plus three bucks will get you a cup of coffee. Gimme a break.

Classic example of the bubble in which some people live. (It reminds me of the posters, here, who could not imagine GWB winning a second term when _everyone they knew_ was clearly outraged by his performance.) Viewers of Faux News still believe the nonsense about Benghazi that has already been debunked by Republican led Congressional investigations, but they are only the hard core Republican voters that would never have voted for Clinton, anyway.

I have no idea whether Clinton will win the presidency in 2016, but I know that the rant I have quoted is simply fact free beliefs held dear by the misinformed and True Believers of the Murdoch/Koch propaganda machine.

I love it when someone goes this far out on such a high limb. I can already hear it cracking.

Looking forward to your reaction on the off chance (hehe) Hillary wins. 🙂
