The Denver Broncos are the Super Bowl Champions! Just in case there is someone out there in Colorado who hasn’t heard yet. It’s time to 
► Carly Fiorina is still seeking the Republican Presidential nomination. How are things going? Our friends at
While HRC's campaign staff may well need a shake up it's not really their fault that she can hardly go a couple of days without making one if her arrogant tone deaf statements that reminds everybody who didn't support her back in 2008 why they never liked her much.
Apparently I'm not the only one to whom it has it occurred that HRC's biggest campaign problem might be….. HRC .

For many different reasons, it is… It is because she's still the focus of the right wing propaganda machine after all these years. And it is because she seems to have a pattern of behavior that doesn't serve her well when the campaign chips are down. I don't think it's coincidence that both in 2008 and now, when things started getting closer, her campaign got nastier, and weird, unsupportable things started appearing – mostly anonymously or from her supporters – about her opponents. I think she does get defensive in these situations, and I'm starting to suspect she cries "release the hounds!" from somewhere in a back room…
And it's odd, because she holds up well under pressure in diplomatic and political situations (see Benghazi hearings…).
She was great at those hearings. I actually liked her for about 15 minutes. But when she says things like…"because that's what they offered"…. or that they left the WH broke, except for a couple of millionaire properties and the ability to jet set around at will and throw a wedding for their daughter that couldn't have cost less than several hundred thousand at the least, or when she fails to admit to the tiniest error in her own judgement or her husband's and blames everything on the people who (really are but even so) out to get her, that's not really her campaign staff's fault and not the fault of any conspiracy. There was a conspiracy against Obama too which continues to this day and he was appealing enough to get elected twice.
The woman has a tin ear and inability to admit that sometimes she's the one who ought to be apologizing. She comes across arrogant, dismissive, entitled and dripping disdain for anyone who disagrees with her on anything. Her first reaction to the mildest criticism is to lash out with contempt. Now she's letting Bill go out and insult Bernie in the harshest possible terms when she'll need Bernie and his supporters just like he did with Obama whose supporters she didn't need in the end only because she lost to him. She's letting Steinem go out and insult all the young women for Bernie she's going to need. She's her own worst enemy.
I agree, sadly, that she's the best option we're left with for the general but she's not very good at making herself an appealing candidate and until somebody gets the Queen to face that no number of staff shake ups will make her so.
I said it before, "there's a lot more Richard M. Nixon in Hillary Clinton than most Democrats care to admit" …
… the never-ending political calculations, the paranoia about persons making criticism who get labeled "enemies", the strong bent towards militaristic solutions and engagements, the inability to connect with everyday Americans, the siege mentality, the inability to admit to her own shortcomings and errors, …
If someone can't be invested enough to affiliate with a party for the purposes of deciding the future leadership that we elect, why should the party be forced to listen to them when it comes for the party as a group to choose who they want to nominate to the Presidency?
Rather than enshrining the two-party system, wouldn't it be better if we opened up the contest nationally to a ranked choice open contest? Let the parties make an endorsement rather than a nomination.
I wonder if Pols will add Senator Bernie Sanders to its "Big Line" if he wins New Hampshire? Or wins NH and upsets HRC in Nevada? Or perhaps not unless he actually wins the nomination, eh? Pol-sters, what say you?
It's on there. Click on full big line and read. Or does somebody have to read it to you?
Ah! Thank you for pointing this out.
Don't feel bad, lots of us missed that
me, too…He should be up front on the header.
And when, by the way, did I do anything to you to deserve that kind of nasty response?
You didn't. When I complained about it, it was pointed out to me politely.
think Zmulls is referring to Gerties' comment, BC…
Yes. Meant to clarify that I was referring to Gertie97's comment.
Actually, Duke and Zmulls, I know Z was replying to Gertie's pretty snotty remark. My response was to Z, simply expressing that when I made the same mistake, nobody insulted me over it and I didn't think Z deserved to be insulted either. Should have been clearer about what I meant to say to whom about what. I fear the clarity of that sentence isn't much of an improvement.
Trump called Cruz a what?
Of course he did. And he got the "tremendous" press he wanted. I just can't believe this is Trump's strategy before the primary vote. Double down on the vulgar, crude, shocking, sexist insults.
Is he going to have to grope a pre-teen on stage and brag about it before he starts losing his base voters? No wonder Putin likes him.
How presidential.
