Sorry to change to story line.
Wallace was an ape. Which would be the extreme right wing of the "Republican Redneck party".
Nice catch Z Brown. It certainly makes those "journalists" come across as less ignorant.
Wallace was a registered Democrat his entire life, except for a brief period in the late 60s.
He ran for President in 1972 as a Democrat. He was leading in the polls up until he was shot.
He ran for Governor of Alabama in 1982 as a Democrat. He won.

You're watching this, Dean? Good on ya.
I watched all nights of the RNC. Didn't spit even once (though I did laugh a lot).
The only way we will ever move forward together is if we listen to each other.

Of course it does, Cragman, It always has, and fairly rightfully so. This isn't news, is it?

Hillary Clinton is not even remotely in the top one tenth of one percent. Not even.
When I was growing up, to be "Texas rich" one use to have to have 100 million dollars. Now 500 million dollars doesn't even do that. Texas rich is a term used to describe the wealthiest.
What I hear is a call for fairness.
I agree Moose..

Beau coup dinky dau
That said, Clinton has released her tax returns
Take a look
It's not so much how big your pie is, but how it got cooked.
When you start ranking on how Clinton is so wealthy you better factor in how she stacks up with any of the above.

of course she is rich. Contrary to what conservatives believe, liberals don't hate rich. They don't like obscenely rich. Texas Rich defines obscenely rich.
Take the Walton family. They become obscenely rich by paying their employees grotesquely low wages. They became obscenely rich by forcing out other businesses and then raising prices giving people few choices of where to shop. They became obscenely rich by making their jobs primarily part time, so that they could avoid paying benefits.
They could have been very successful, while paying a fair wage and treating their people well. That kind of success is still admired.

Enjoying Bernie's call for justice.
Raising the minumum wage, however, is over simplistic and short term. It makes the rich richer by causing rent inflation and increasing property values.
It cuts off starting workers.
We do need to care for unable people somehow but this is not it.
I will never waste my vote on a major candidate. I will continue to support the odd parties and attempt to steer things my way with that.

Not bullsh#t. I know a number of people who work at Walmart. They struggle to get full-time hours even though their store is still hiring people. They struggle to get benefits. Some positions become full time. But many of them are restricted to 30 hours..
