I sense a Watergate-type mentality in the populace...
 
 With Watergate, the people just got fed up with the corruption and criminality and decided to put an honest man in the White House. Jimmy Carter, the little known Governor of Georgia, defeated Gerald Ford in 1976 for the Presidency in a fairly close race. But the corruption of the Nixon Administration was just a bit more than the voters could handle.

Voters are in a similar frame of mind nowadays, in my opinion. They are sick of the corruption and the money in politics. They want an honest man, someone similar to Jimmy Carter in 1976. They want change and , like 1976, they will speak up on the next election day.

4. You know he did not mean it literally
 
with 17 minutes of tape missing.

Try things like Citizens United. Money in Politics, over 90 percent of people wanted something done after a certain shooting involving kids, and Congress could do nothing.

By the way, here is a pro tip, people, regular people are also getting tired, as in exhausted, from partisanship.

9. You are getting bent out off shape over one minute
 
instead of addressing what I posted. Cute. But this is the problem, partisans do exactly what you just did.

Thanks for the textbook example.

11. Denial is not just a river in egypt
 
but I am not laughing. Doing all the reading I am into partisanship, you are a textbook example of both the denial and the tribalism. Most regular Americans, ergo those not part of either tribe, are getting tired of this crap. They see it for what it is, utter corruption of the system.

3. From talking to way too many people
 
from different strata, at least in my corner of the United States, which does not matter, so really don't pay attention to us. YOU SIR, ARE CORRECT.

So from what I can make of DUmmie kentuck's OP, he's either:

Referring to Hillary as a "man"
Referring to Hillary as "honest"
Shilling for Comrade Bernie
Fails to see the failure of Barack
Fails to see the failure of liberalism
Blaming the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEE!
All of the above...

Wow I agree with Nadins thoughts on tribalism however I don't think most liberals are tired of it or they wouldn't jump to the same tired conclusions after a shooting, white on black death, poverty, etc etc. Nor would they demonize an opposing view if they were tired of tribalism. I know conservatives can be the same way but I tend to find that rigidity more rampant in lefty land.
