Don't know if I'd call myself a "Radical Democrat," Louie. I prefer to call myself a "radical moderate," and I'm proud of the fact that people can't predict my positions on things. Even Greg_F and Steve Shaw can't put words in my mouth with any degree of accuracy. I favor Medicare for All, or some sort of single-payer healthcare; and yet I'm not necessarily opposed to Wall Street.

I liked Hillary Clinton's response to the Republican Convention today:

Hillary Clinton said on Friday afternoon that she agreed with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who earned scorn from the Republican Party when he encouraged attendees of the Republican National Convention to vote their conscience in November while refusing to endorse nominee Donald Trump.

"Something has gone terribly wrong when someone says 'vote your conscience' and gets booed," Clinton said at a Tampa rally.

The presumptive Democratic nominee added: "I never thought I'd say these words, but Ted Cruz was right."

Clinton encouraged voters to do what Cruz advised and cast their ballot for president in accordance with their conscience.

I wish Hillary would take better care of her voice. She's been shouting too much during this campaign, and she doesn't need to do that. And shouting doesn't lead itself to rational discussion - and rational discussion is what Hillary does best.
