When history is written, the incongruity of what has been happening will make a great tale.
The second most prominent “First Lady” in American history is challenged for Presidency twice by “unlikely” rivals, and could lose her chance to be the first woman President.
The first time, a first term African American Senator from Illinois, with an African name and the middle name “Hussein” challenges this “First Lady”, and ends up as the 44th President of the United States, and employs the former “First Lady” as his Secretary of State.
The second time, after having served as Secretary of State. the former “First Lady” is challenged for the Presidency by an elderly Jewish Senator with strong democratic Socialist views, an independent from the small state of Vermont, and defeats her in New Hampshire, and could go on to be the 45h President of the United States!
Never before had we seen a woman seen as so serious a challenger for the Presidency! Never had we seen an African American President! Never had we seen a man over 70 by five years, and with clear but Socialist views, and of the Jewish faith, on the road to possible election as President of the United States!
American politics continues to be unpredictable!
I thought that Hillary had her best debate of the election last night. The more I watch these two, the more I’m with Hillary – a pragmatic progressive like me. Also, Sanders is too negative for my tastes; I prefer Hillary’s more positive, yet not all rose-colored, outlook.
As much as I like the guy, Sanders is simply not serious about foreign policy. Constantly saying, like a broken record, that you voted against the authorization of force in Iraq back in 2002, does NOT tell me much of anything about your foreign policy expertise or ideas about the world TODAY.
I agree with Former Republican. Foreign policy is the hole in Sanders’s political doughnut. We know what he doesn’t like, but there is far less clarity about what he does favor.
Neither Sanders nor Clinton has really discussed how they will get our Obstructionist Congress to go along with anything they want to accomplish.
African Americans and Latinos aren’t warming up to him.

Thought-provoking article about race in the Democratic campaign. http://immasmartypants.blogspot.com/2016/02/listening-to-people-of-color-in-this.html
I agree, Southern Liberal. It is disappointing that neither candidate is lending appropriate emphasis to winning back Congress, because that’s the only way to get anything of consequence done.
Former Republican – Tim Kaine agrees with us in regards to Bernie being weak on foreign policy. http://www.bluevirginia.us/2016/02/sen-tim-kaine-bernie-sanders-would-be.html
Rational Lefty – I wonder if those on the People’s View blog are of an older generation, which could be why they aren’t too keen on Bernie.
LOL! Trump wants to sue Cruz! http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/12/politics/donald-trump-ted-cruz-dishonest/index.html
I wonder about that too, Leia. According to the PoliticusUSA blog, young African Americans are into Bernie. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/02/12/young-blacks-open-bernie-sanders-white-house-bid.html
A new polls says that Nevada is tied. http://www.politicususa.com/2016/02/12/bernie-sanders-surge-moves-west-nevada-caucus-tied-45.html
Personally, I prefer that Smarty Pants blog that Princess Leia posted a link of.
Republicans are now down to 6. Jim Gilmore has dropped out of the race. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/gilmores-withdrawal-shrinks-gop-field-six
One thing we can all agree on – The Democratic debates make the Republican debates look cartoonish! LOL!
