The DEMOCRATS should leave their seats and head for the barricades

I’m paraphrasing of course

my top 10,000 favorites. He gave the address at Colgate around a decade ago, which I assumed was a disappointment to the students. They have had numerous superior speakers over the years. (Though not at graduations, Rubin Carter, Chief Waterman, and I were my favorites!)

In all these years, not once have I found a positive word to repeat.
I know more than a few folks like him.

He's on my "forever, fuck you" list:

My Democratic Problem With Voting for Hillary Clinton

I am not voting for Hillary Clinton, regardless of her endorsement by Bernie Sanders. My decision isn’t because of the scandal around her emails or because of some concern over her character. My reasons are pretty straightforward. I don’t agree with her ideologically.

...

Perhaps the most persuasive reason to vote for Hillary Clinton is Donald Trump. Trump is worse. I know that. The prospects of a Trump presidency—what would be a deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance—ought to frighten anyone. It frightens me. But my daddy, a gruff man who has lived all of his life on the coast of Mississippi, taught me that fear should never be the primary motivation of my actions.

Fuck you, idiot. People like you trashing good Democrats is what brought us to this point. Keep Democrats' names out your mouth.

Fear of what a Trump presidency would bring wasn't enough to vote for Hillary, but now we should listen to you about how terrible it is? What is that going to do for us now? Fuck you, you grifter piece of shit.

He must be talking about the Democratic Party leadership in Washington? He might have a point there?

he can never, ever stop blaming Democrats.

Nicole yelled at him - "why are we only asking Democrats to stand up?" He backed down a bit, but he just can't help himself.

Without the likes of him, HRC would have finished her 2nd term in January.
