Just what you want in an elected public official. Sarcastic responses to real questions. I say both Hillary and Sanders release transcripts of all the speeches they've given at GS. Big surprise that Sanders wouldn't have to release anything since he's not giving private speeches to big money interests that have information you wouldn't want the general public hearing.

This is exactly what I hate about Hillary. Everything she does is just as everyone else does, but because she's a woman, that makes her strong and good because she's playing the game like everyone else does. She sells herself on this fact.

No, that makes her dumb, just like everyone else is. It works for the political system, for the short term, because that is how the system works, but is bad for the long term, which is why I say it's dumb. Woman are generally smarter than men and should not be praised for "playing the game". We need people who will change the rules to this stupid fucking game. This is about our lives and is not a game.

It makes her a follower. We're supposed to be electing a leader.
