Yes, Senator, we’d rather have Clinton as President. Much, much rather. Any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Yes indeedy.

(And we’d also much rather go back to having Russ back in the Senate, and see you looking for a new job. Which looks likely!)

“Every election’s a comparison between one candidate and the other,” he said.

Just the kind of stellar analysis this guy is known for.

 he said that he is "praying that our nominee is a person of integrity, intelligence, ideas, and courage."

Still trying that so long after the train has left the station ? ?? —

"…he said that he is “praying that our nominee is a person of integrity, intelligence, ideas, and courage.”

I hope you’ve got someone waiting in the wings?

“Every election’s a comparison between one candidate and the other,” he said.

He said that Clinton’s “dereliction of duty in Benghazi” and “reckless” use of personal email would make her “disqualified for the position.”

and she will be up against a birther and closeted white supremacist who incites his supporters to riot, while cloaking himself in the first amendment.

I wonder who I would choose…

Johnson added that he will be “honest when I don’t agree with anybody.”

Has Johnson made public statements disagreeing with the (presumed) eventual Republican nominee's calls for beatings to be administered by his supporters to those protesting the nominee's speeches?

Johnson ought to stop praying (as if) and read the tea leaves. Russ is up by an average of 11.5%

No chance that Drumpf would (knowingly) accept head from anyone with a Y chromasone :tongue:

“Well, I’m responsible for my own conduct, my own actions, my own words,” Johnson said. "We’re part of a party system. It’s a team effort, and the Republican primary voters will decide who our nominee is. And what else would be expected of candidates running for office to say other than, ‘We’re going to support that eventual nominee.’"

Johnson added that he will be “honest when I don’t agree with anybody.”

Well, he’s certainly joining a huge and totally credible bunch of other senators who have endorsed the Donald.
Oh, wait…

I am grateful to the good Senator from my home state of Wisconsin.

For providing me with stellar, clear and concise reasons for casting my vote for his Democratic opponent.

It’s always a good thing when these decisions can be so clear-cut.

Unrelated but good news is that the California seat Barbara Boxer will be vacating this year has a good chance of being taken by Kamala Harris, currently California AG, and a rising star in the Democratic party. She’s currently leading all others in both parties in coming primary.

I agree. If every single thing the RW has ever tried to slap Hillary were actually true (and 95% of it is complete BS) I’d still rather have her then a bombastic fascist at the helm.
