    Fox will do it for you. They've already weened it down to 10.

    So essentially, people want someone who had no success at Secretary of State, and plenty of massive failures, TO LEAD THE FREE WORLD?

    If this is actually happening, America is dumbing down to a point of no return.

    Can you go one post without a race card, btw?

    So, you would rather fixate upon Clinton's "fine ... but not consequential” tenure at State than find a viable Republican opponent for her?

    Well, if that's what you enjoy, but it does not bode well for the election, at all.

    Given that Clinton leads every proposed adversary in national polls, they really need to come up with someone acceptable.



    Are you kvetching about Senator Graham's spot-on demographic augury?

    Do you expect them to be on MSNBC?

    Perhaps they could get Candy Crowley to moderate?

    If you actually listened to Fox once in awhile, instead of just bashing it, you would know that is not true. Fox is holding a debate earlier in the day for the four or so candidates that don't meet the top ten threshold.

    Even having 10 in prime time is too many for a meaningful debate, so it seems only natural that any network, Fox included, would narrow any debate field to 10 or fewer. And BTW, do you know if the pansies at the DNC are even going to allow their candidates to appear on a Fox debate? Or are they going to hide them again from any real scrutiny?

    I don't want to fixate on her. I want you to tell me why she deserves to lead the free world based upon her resume.

    This thread is not about your fixation.

    Nor do I work for Clinton.

    So, I'll have to venture a guess.

    You're dazzled by ....... Huckabee!


    Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?

    Just so we're clear, you're refusing to discuss why Hillary should win the Democrat ticket based on her personal experience? Well obviously if someone cannot do that, she shouldn't win. Care to join the thread I just created about Repubs and Dems who should win based on experiences, and not popularity? You might enjoy it. I welcome all answers.

    BTW Huckabee is F-ing loser. Can't stand that guy.

    It's based on what the people the think not what Fox thinks. The bottom ten get to debate early and make a show of themselves to move up. The top ten get to debate afterwards and try to hold their position.

    So how would you have done different?

    You keep insisting everyone must have a definitive opinion about your obsession. As politicians go, she's better than some, worse than others.

    I'm sorry if my not getting as wee wee'd up as you, one way or another, gets you upset, but I really don't share your intense emotions in the matter.

    No, let's see if you can tear yourself away from your fixation and address the topic.

    Who, if any, do you expect will dazzle you on August 6? Who will disappoint?

    I think you are correct. They will focus on Obama and Hillary rather than discuss their own ideas. Exactly the same gameplan the Republicans have been following since they got control of congress.

    How about you give us what you think are the credentials of the Republican candidates That would demonstrate any experience in international relations. Hillary's experience is well known.

    That would relate to the topic, but there are some obsessives so singularly fixated that they are incapable of even a comparative analysis.

    Sure, but think of it as an important public service announcement since they will be introducing the average Dem Party citizen to news of such events for pretty much the first time in their chronic low-information Dem Party lives, considering that the Left-Allied Mainstream Media has made certain that heretofore very little by way of real information has leaked to the general public about the true breadth and depth of Hillary's scandals. The GOP doing the job that the Left-suborned Mainstream Media won't do. Nice!

    Here is Gallups:

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/184214/d...utm_content=morelink&utm_campaign=syndication

    The list the Democratic Party favorables at 42% and the Republicans at 35%. Close to Pew. Gallup also lists Party Identification as 23% Republican, 28% Democratic and 46% Independent for July. That is the highest mark for independents since June of 2014 when they were also at 46%. But between June of 14 and July of 15 Independents averaged 41%.

    Republicans at 23% of the electorate is also their lowest since July of 14 when they too was at 23%, The GOP averaged 27% between those dates. The Democrats at 28% is the same they were at January of 2015. Usually the Democrats average out at around 31%.

    Why is that always the reaction? Is Hillary's Secretary of State bid that bad to where the only way Democrats can address that question, is to ask about Republicans?

    It's been like 4 posts now where no one can list out Hillary's successes vs. failure as Sec. of State. Not even one success.

    But we know why that is. :)

    The dominant entertainment wing of the Republican Party has been wreaking havoc with the political one. Sensational tabloid hysteria has replaced reasoned legislative proposals. Since the Pandering Pantaloon has befouled the GOP nominative process with his noxious exudations, extremist evocations of treason, holocausts, and other wacko bird yowling once the currency of sewer radio is now being disgorged from the mouths of reputed candidates.

    Carnival Cruz shrieking, Liar! Liar! Liar! at his own senate leadership is as ineffectual an attention-seeking stunt as his shutting down Yellowstone National Park when he got pissy over the ACA, and those alienated from America thrill at their Trumpery sliming American POWs and pretending he can make 11 million illegals go, "Poof!"

    America needs at least two political parties, but the 90% White one is frenetically scuttling their manure barge instead of caulking the gaping seams.

    ROFL you get all worked up when someone ask your for you opinion and then turn around and demand others give theirs.

    You are quite amusing.

    You mean her failures on US policy while she and her husband enriched themselves selling their influence to foreign governments and businesses engaged in international business?

    Tell me what foreign policy experience did Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama bring to the table?
