I haven't been following her until recently when she indicated that marijuana, which is legalized where my primary residence is, should be structured around affirmative action.

 From what I know this means restricting licenses which there is a limited amount, to owners of specific races.  If 99% of licenses are held by White Males and law is restructured to a 50% maximum then how will the decision be made of who has to close or sell their businesses?

 Its a hard thing to implement afterwards.

She'll run. She'll very likely win.
I think that's a very real possibility.

This country is Fooked.
If she does run and if she does win, I agree.

Precisely my point. Just because 60% of the voters think her ideas are great, doesn't mean her ideas aren't stupid, and bound to send the country right down the crapper.

I agree. And I'm glad you're looking forward to it. I just think you will come to regret that when you realize what actually happens.

I have one question, why wasn't the election of 2008 a mandate of "progressive" policies?

Obama came into office with all the majority support of congress/senate, and yet a mere two years later, lost it all.

If we go back and look at who he was, and what he said, for example, a marriage was between a man and a woman, etc, he became the person who the progressive power handlers (?)  demanded of him, once elected?

You can blame the opposition, however, that does not hold up to scrutiny if indeed he was elected overwhelmingly to "change" things progressively....

That "agenda" would override any opposition and interference, gaining strength and power, not losing it.

Many stories ran after the election the conservatives and republicans were dead, or severely limited in what they could now do in Washington.

Speaking solely for myself, who voted for him in all the excitement of hope and change, read GRIDLOCK.......

I felt I bought a lame horse, once he got in office.

He wasn't what he advertised, but to this day, I think like with Carter, who I voted for, somewhere in the party oligarchy ( which I believe exist in both parties )  had other ideas AND the wherewithal, to implement THEIR plans, not his hope and change, his winning line was saying he would reach across the isle, to make Washington work again for EVERYONE.....?????

I dunno, but I think AOC, Trump, etc, are upsetting that apple cart....

It also explains why so many republicans bowed out of the last elections, where incumbents almost always win their elections, as they knew the winds of change were coming, and they wanted to escape with their booty before all the infighting, revealing, etc, of what a corrupt system we do have..... is exposed.
Just the "sex" stuff was prolly only the tip of the iceberg, where it snared many, but if you think that is the only ugly belly DC has, I think you are seriously mistaken, for the GREED of man, wealth, and power, gained however, hook or crook, is where the real corpses lay, waiting....

I dunno....I just can't figger out what happened to the historic wind Obama sailed into Washington with, only to be crushed against the rocks two years later.....WHAT HAPPENED?  

OK, I'm done, I am going back to being HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY ......

Carry on  

"Take a good look around. This country is Fooked."

 I've been hearing that for a while now.  When they implemented Social Security in 1935 people said the country would be doomed in a decade.

 Automobiles travelling at "break-neck" speeds of up to 20 miles an hour would destroy our ability to commute safely.

 Television would create a generation of uninspired adults who don't get jobs.

 The World Wide Web would cause crippling riots that would destroy America by the year 2000.

 Bush Jr. would alter the Constitution to stay in office.

 Obama would alter the Constitution to stay in office and enslave America to Muslim countries.

 Trumps Trade War will end American consumerism as we know it as inflation hits record highs.

 Hard to tell what people are really afraid of when it comes to change.

I wish you were correct in that assessment. However I don't believe you are. It would be the first time that happened in the long sordid history of socialis

The winds of change are indeed blowing.  The polls support it mark.  Plain and simple.
