I would vote for Condoleezza Rice in a heartbeat if she would run for President. I've always hoped she would consider a return to politics. Yet I find myself being lumped in with the rest of the Trump supports as being racist, sexist and such.

Actually dumbshit... Democrats had Geraldine Ferraro back in 1984. She was highly qualified and intelligent (a replicans worst nightmare). 30 years later you throw out a non-coherent barely literate soccer mom as a VP candidate. Something for the delporables to fantasize about as they polish their guns.

Just go away.

I remember. I remember President Reagan smoking Walter Mondale in the election as well. You make my case for me.

Name calling....classy.

Surprised you weren't called a racist, they're slipping a bit.

I think dumbshit was fitting since your knowledge of history appears to drop precipitously once we get to a point before trump. Would you rather I be PC and call you historically challenged? I thought PC was everything that is wrong in the world.

In Chicago, where I live, two "protesters" pulled a Trump voeter from his car and beat him.

You probably already are...financially. No one misses work during a protest.

This sucks. My commute is already bad enough without protesters messing up traffic. It'll probably take the entire working population of Chicago an hour and a half to get home now. Not a great way to build sympathy for any cause.

Only you would think that Palin was qualified for anything.

It wasn't meant to be an all inclusive list of every female to ever run for the top spots. Merely one that actually had a solid chance from recent memory. I suppose I should thank you though, I equate resorting to name calling and profanity to be a lack of education and an intelligent ability to articulate ones thoughts; not a desire to avoid appearing PC. Thanks for clearing that up, I loathe politically correctness.

Speaking for me again Min? I never said she was qualified. Where's your evidence for that claim? How's the weather out west?

I think that it doesn't matter whether the nation is stood up for or disrespected. I think individuals need to stand up for themselves and for each other and they need to stand against the injustice of Trump rather than reifying the nation. Personal freedom and personal justice > Nationalism.
