A phrase she has been saying since at least 2008.

Older friends of mine who are Black have noted the age division too with regard to sons/daughters who have benefited from the earlier struggles of their parents, grandparents.  It is so important to see that progress, as my friends note; but, there are the underbelly issues alluded to here.  

Perhaps, those same matters are seen in the LGBTQ communities.  If so, perhaps we can understand the challenges faced.

what would have happened in the civil rights movement if African Americans had their own idiosyncracies and hopes and dreams and ideals before they're some homogenous, uniform mass called "African Americans"?  hmmmm.

I'm an Old Cowhand

I know all the songs that the cowboys know,
'bout the big corral where the doggies go,
Cause I heard them all on the radio
Yippee Yi Yo Kiyaa...

Another analogy would be Williams Jennings Bryan.  With his Cross of Gold speech he was the anti bank, anti Wall Street candidate of his day.  He was the original Progressive/Populist candidate and he focused almost exclusively on the rigged financial system of his day.

McGovern is a very good analogy.  The Liberals got their dream candidate.  He was anti war period as you say.   But that is like Bernie being anti-Wall Street period.   McGovern also was liberal (the word "progressive" being somewhat of an affect, I think) and offered a plan of governmental payments of $1,000 to everyone.

You have no historical precedent that supports what Bernie is trying to do, and plenty in the opposite direction.  I suppose Bernie could make history and get elected.  And then the disillusionment would set in.  He cannot abolish greed. He cannot abolish the power of money.  No matter how many rallys he does.  He would accomplish nothing really.   And have one term written all over him.  But maybe his election would be enough for Progressives, who eschew the label Liberal for some reason.

Bernie would have to compromise if elected.  He would end up doing the things that would ruin his pristine image and his support.  None of the economic things he suggests would happen.  But he would be a mess on foreign policy. Not invading other countries is great, but it is not a foreign policy.  I think he would actually do little at all.  He would in the end discredit Progressive ideas because of his inability to do anything.  He would look weak.

Older women scolding younger women never, ever works out well. It just comes off as bitchy and patronizing. It always backfires.

I've been saying this for weeks: Clinton needs new messaging, new advisers and new surrogates. Otherwise it really is going to be deja vu all over again.

Clinton was doing very well with the "black" community. (I put "black" in quotes because I don't like to use those labels.)

Then, at a point similar to this one, voices began to emerge that Black people should vote for Obama out of race pride. How much it would mean to have a black president. (Forget about his white mama. She didn't count.)

So, you would have thought that we might have learned something from that experience.

I think Hillary Clinton would have done much more at that time for all of us.

But she faced folks like Chris Rock - speaking at an Obama rally at the Apollo theatre in Harlem - berating the audience and saying... "I know some of you are thinking about voting for that white lady..."

Obama, in the wings, said nothing.

And it worked.
And what did that constituency get in return?

Albright, who was sometimes referred to as "Halfbright", I remember her as a war-monger.
That might be unfair. She said that she regretted some of her statements, but it seemed to me that she went out there trying to put a good face on our bombings of Muslim targets during the Clinton administration. In particular - Iraq - keeping that conflict burning - primed for the subsequent actions by the GW Bush administration.

Wonder how Marco's going to deal with his cotton-mouth...when he gave his post-caucus speech, I thought he was going to eat his face, what with all the lip-licking.

I expect Trump to be in full bully-mode with Jeb - I read somewhere that W used to bully his younger brother, Jeb, when they were kids, and that's why Jeb doesn't handle it well when Trump sticks it to him.

I expect Cruz to be orders of magnitude more insufferable than ever; I can't wait to see if they ask him about the dirty tricks in Iowa.

And if we drink every time Christie says, "former federal prosecutor" we'll all be on our asses by 9:00.

It's pretty interesting though how it looks like there's a conspiracy among them all...."tonight we take out Rubio." And, it's working pretty well.

One by one, that's going to be the plan until they get to Trump.

You saw how nuts he got when Megyn Kelly asked him about what he's called women. The closest thing tonight has been the eminent domain for a limo parking lot.

Oh, and when he boasted how he's going to take the jobs back from China, Japan, etc., no one thought to ask him where his "Trump" brand shirts were being made? Answer: China, Mexico, and Brazil.

And, after he, somehow, got through that answer, the next follow up should be: "Whatever happened to your shirts?" Answer: "Bankrupt."

After studying architecture and design at Slovenia's University of Ljubljana, she began modeling regularly, working for fashion houses in Milan, and later, in the pre-Mrs. Trump years, posing for photographers like Helmut Newton and Mario Testino, and even appearing in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition in 2000.

She has also been in Vogue.

In November 1998, Melania met Donald at a Fashion Week party hosted by Paolo Zampolli, an Italian entrepreneur and founder of the ID Models management agency...Melania was 28, and Donald was a father of four, 24 years her senior, and recently separated from his second wife, Marla Maples.

She's fluent in Slovenian, Italian and French. She's taught Barron how to speak Slovenian.
