But I will offer advise to all Dems, and Heckle them when I think that they are wrong.
Hilary’s loss in Iowa I hope will wake her up.
I think in weakness she might be tempted to reach out now to our ideas.
Never kick away a sinner who might repent.

Her problem is that she didn’t believe that we 70%ers were real after all where were we when Bill was in trouble?
