    The dnc has been totally out to lunch since at least 2012. Shit I’m at a point I’d be happy to see a good Republican candidate, u ever listen to George Bush talking when he was in office? The goal posts have moved so far right he sounds like a democratic leftie by todays standards.

      It was in 2008, DNC went hard on fucking over Obama, and rather than reform the DNC when he won, he washed his hands of them. Now we’re here, with a group that cares more about controlling the field of candidates rather than winning a general election.

        The DNC wanted the win of “first black president” and never wanted to push for polices to allow another one to happen.

      It really fucks with your mind doesn’t it? I’m not even THAT old, and even I recall when Republicans were slightly more left than modern Democrats.

      Before 9/11 he actually wanted to fast track the path to citizenship. I think if it hadn’t happened he would have been a pretty ok one term president.
