Definitely. My understanding is that the magnitude of her financial reward is much larger than his, but I could well be wrong.

In my mind that’s part of what makes her a good politician. The heart feeds itself first, guise.

that'd be all well and good but she lost to Donald Trump

That link sort of seems to undermine your point a little?

And I just don’t want to talk about Clinton anymore. If we relitigate 2016 during this process we will all die.

I think we need a constitutional amendment to undo citizens united. Won’t happen any time soon. But I don’t think we disagree on this issue.

Good question, here's 2016 and 2020. Seems to be around a dozen.

Edit: Wikipedia has a button near the upper right hand corner that goes all the way back to 1912. Not as many folks running for the nomination back then.

If you think this is disqualifying then great but I don’t want everything reduced to a sound bite about how everyone but Bernie is impure. Especially when Bernie’s statements accompanying his rollout seem pretty racist and sexist and tone deaf.

Are there any candidates that are good or great and excellent and very loud, maybe the best and loudest ever of all time? Any where people are saying, many people are talking about how creative they are with the insults and diminutive nicknames? Do the men have big hands/penises and how are the thighmeats of the ladies? Lookin for a candidate with larger than life nigh cartoonish antics that will entertain me nonstop with a sort of feverdream sensation of “this can’t really be happening right” like the dreams i have most nights of careening off the freeway at top speed toward the tops of the trees waiting to catch me in the comforting silent gloom of the gulch below

I don't really think it would be "disqualifying," I'd literally support any Democratic nominee against any Republican nominee in any situation short of realignment.

Also, yeah, looks like I was wrong about Harris making those comments, and, according to her, she was unaware the Attorney General's office was arguing for It's continuation in court.

I don't think Sanders, or anyone, is pure. I think everyone is worthy of criticism and, regardless of who wins, should be held accountable so that people know what they are dealing with. You can support and even vote for somebody without overlooking their flaws.

"old and white, male" is not the best reason to overlook a very strong candidate imo

bottom line is one of these folks is gonna be the nominee, and whoever it is is going to have some baggage and not be ideologically pure enough for whatever segment of the electorate

however anyone who does not cast a vote for this person, regardless of who it winds up being, is an abject moral failure, a cognitively stunted troglodyte, and should be drug out into the street at the crack of dawn and shot

Hillary was meant to hack all those voting machines and win before immediately succumbing to degenerative illness. What happened?
