Going to need more than I'm a woman to win an election at least I hope so...

Like I said. I suspect most people expect Bill v2.

For a limited time only, try Bill Clinton 2.0! Now available with far less charisma!

She's not even good at pretending she has feelings though. I really don't get this one. Seriously. She has no history of leadership. She is divisive. She has a long history of corruption. She is disgustingly rich and selfish. She defended child sex offenders as a lawyer. She was a Wal-Mart executive. She is heartless and her laughter makes people shiver. I will never understand the liberal attraction to Hillary.
It has nothing to do with qualifications, past history, policies, or anything that would remotely be considered a decent skill in leadership.

2016 is all about electing a woman, regardless of anything else other than being a woman.

Just like 2008 was about electing the black guy, 2016 is about electing a woman.

Unfortunately in order for the GOP to be in the running, they're going to have a woman running as well.

If the GOP was smart, they would need to one up the democrats and run an openly gay man. Hell if they had a transsexual running that would guarantee them 8 years.

In case you haven't picked up on it by now, presidential elections for the next 16 years at least will be all about genitals, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Consequently, this is a result of a sexually repressed society. It was inevitable.

Sex sells, regardless of whether or not it applies to you personally. I would speculate after this trend takes its course, the next trend will be to elect people of a different ethnicity and nationality. Expect to see some overlap as we saw with Obama already.

We already had a republican government who attempted to change the Constitution to allow non native born citizens to run for president.

Qualifications...? Just need to fit the trend.

Speak ill of this? You're racist, sexist, homophobic, a bigot, etc.

Welcome to the Fourth Reich.

How about a gay black man that identifies as a woman sure to rule the Earth for the next 100 years !

Just once I'd like to see an attractive woman be President. If only politicians didn't run for office when they are 75 !

Everything else aside, including the Godwinning, this particular bit is pretty spot-on.

Repression extends to minorities (race, ethnicity) as well. Forgot that part.

there you go looking at the score card again...

she paid her dues, she towed the line, her bonafides are genuine....

think of it this way it might help... we (republicans) are playing football against an troupe of interpretive dancers....and loosing.... because final scores don't matter

It's like an art exhibit or maybe a fashion show. obama was hot last season and old and screechy is in this year, cue the hillary

If you buy a painting it's because it's a good investment
it's by an artist that sells well, it has a good purchase history, etc dollars and sense...

they are standing there looking at two paintings and deciding which one to buy based on what someone else thinks about it...

they come to a consensus on things.... they all stand around appreciating the two art works until one group of voices drowns out the other and bam there is the candidate.

whoever makes the most impassioned plea wins.

the really real reason hillary will get the nomination is because liberals feel bad for the way she was treated her in 2008.

that's it.

Observable fact. Also, some of the other comedians were just as funny, if not funnier than Gabriel's jokes. And Gabriel is damn funny

The head of the National Security Agency refused to comment on Monday on reports that the U.S. government implants spyware on computer hard drives for surveillance purposes, saying "we fully comply with the law."

U.S. Navy Admiral Michael Rogers was responding to reports that the NSA had embedded spyware in computers on a vast scale and that along with its British counterpart, had hacked into the world's biggest manufacturer of cellphone SIM cards.

"Clearly I'm not going to get into the specifics of allegations. But the point I would make is, we fully comply with the law," Rogers said at a Washington forum sponsored by the New America think-tank.

The Moscow-based security software maker Kaspersky Lab said last week that spies had figured out how to embed spy software deep within hard drives by Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba and other top manufacturers, giving the agency the means to eavesdrop on a majority of the world's computers. Former NSA operatives told Reuters the agency was behind the campaign.

Another report, based on documents provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and published by the Intercept site, said the U.S. agency and its British counterpart hacked into Gemalto, which produces SIM cards. That would potentially allow intelligence agencies to monitor the calls, texts and emails of billions of people, the report said.

Rogers, whose agency has come under intense scrutiny since 2013 when Snowden exposed details of its widespread surveillance programs, said: "I am not going to chase every allegation out there. I don't have time."

Even as he declined comment on the reports of aggressive NSA operations, Rogers argued that U.S. intelligence, along with law enforcement agencies, needs the legal means to break strong encryption increasingly built into operating systems such as those of Apple or Google.

"Most of the debate that I've seen has been, 'It's all or nothing. It's either total encryption or no encryption at all,'" Rogers said.

If a specific phone is being used to commit a crime or threaten national security, "can't there be a legal framework for how we access that?" he asked.

Yeah, but it *is* an observable fact.

And I'm not running around hiding behind "semantics" or changing the definition of words, accusing people they don't know what a word means, or anything like that.

I also don't appreciate the word "semantics". Blood should be above gender discrimination. I propose it be changed to "sepersontics".
