    I don't have an opinion on Dick's voting, but I do love the Dunham sisters as his avatar.

    You misspelled "millennial" ... Irony? And if yes, intentional or not? :D

    I'm not smart enough to do that ironically. I'm just a (barely) millennial reporter who infuriates his editor on a daily basis with his typing errors. :D

    I should note, just because it's interesting, that my Republican friends, pretty much to a man, wish that Paul Ryan were running. Another is a big Mitch Daniels supporter, and lamented that he never ran for president, for what he felt were all the wrong reasons.

    Fully realizing Dick's provocateur role (troll is such an ugly word) ...

    NBC Found Time to Ask About Bill Clinton’s Sex Life, But Not About Hillary Clinton’s New Defense of Abortion Rights

    So because Bill was a sleaze, it's better not to vote based on actual policy differences that would affect actual people? Ted Cruz never cheated on his wife (that we know of), therefore women would be better casting their lot with him than with Hillary?

    She systematically verbally bludgeoned every accuser. Floozies. Bimbos. And so on.

    Would Bernie Sanders not implement the same policies as Hillary Clinton, regarding women? Would Martin O'Malley not do so?

    It is interesting that they trust her to implement these policies, given her track record. Just a few years ago, the same voting bloc largely refused to credit Rob Portman when he changed his mind on gay marriage.

    I brainstormed a slogan for you, DW:

    1 man, 1 vote, 1 Dick

    I disagree. They don't have 1/10th the baggage she will carry into a general election. Do you not think that Sanders could defeat Donald Trump?

    That's beside the point, though. Again, walking back slightly the portion that LTL bolded, I understand why they might vote for her. But it is intellectually dishonest to dismiss, in conversations with friends and on social media, or rationalize her boorish past.
