She did in the Superbowl, and the popos went apeshit.
I went apeshit too, but more in a more Red Hot Riding Wood sort of way.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.@Hillary's popularity: I don't know how to interpret that, but she is the only "main" candidate Le Petit Journal journalists never managed to approach and talk to. They got Sanders, Cruz and Trump (dunno if they have tried Rubio yet) but utterly failed at getting closer than 8 meters away from Clinton.
So she might simply not realize that now you need to communicate differently. 10 years ago being secretive wasn't an issue, but today it is. It worries me because I feel that she will get the Democrat investiture, but I don't see her in a favorable position against a charismatic madman like Trump.
Oh, Ice Cube... what has become of you...
Quién te ha visto, y quién te vio...
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.And now that Cruz spoke of an intention to create an American Ghestapo, Trump will need to exceed him to get back his vote and advocate creating the Schutzstaffel. I'm calling it - that is what he'll do.
"And I've already got a Himmler right here!" -Trump points to Robin Himmler (yes that is absolutely her real name)-
Nation of Islam as security: Haven't these guys opened themselves up to some... pretty kooky (i.e. ancient astronauts) beliefs as of late? That can't possibly help with whatever training they may have.
I have disagreed with her a lot, but comparing her to republicans and propagandists of dictatorships is really low. - An idiotThe Nation of Islam believe that white people were created in a lab by an evil scientist named Yakob. When Malcolm X left them, he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca and was surprised to find out that Yakob was not even an Islamic figure. They also believe that Elijah Mohammed is their god or something, which goes against Islamic teachings which say only Allah is god.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?I wonder how long it will be before celebs that speak out against police violence get arrested on minor charges and mysteriously "fall down the stairs", seeing as we've now got multiple police forces refusing to do their jobs if police brutality is criticised.

Ah, I see now.
To think, I once thought he sounded more polite than Trump. Needless to say, I was uninformed.
Oh God! Natural light!Remember: Hillary doesn't have to be inspiring to win. She just has to repeat Obama's performance in 2012.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayTwo things though: she isn't an incumbent with the force of inertia carrying her on, and she's had 24 years of people making up bullshit stories, bad press, and conspiracy theories about her and convincing themselves that they're all true, whereas Obama only had 4 years or so of it in 2012.

The dynasty ain't dead yet. We'll see if the Kennedy's try to make a return as well.
To be fair, George P. Bush seems to be much saner for a Republican than the current crop, especially given his more moderate views on immigration. He also seems to understand the fatigue with the Bush name. Hopefully, the Republican Party will have improved enough on their social views to make George P. Bush a viable candidate when he runs for President.

Wizard Needs Food BadlyWell, he is the natural conclusion when the Solid South and similar blocs of the Republican Party realize the GOP Establishment has been playing them for rubes for 50~ years.
Meanwhile, the Nevada GOP Caucuses are complete and utter shitshow beyond belief.
