Several months ago I printed up some sheets of paper containing rows and columns of rectangular boxes for my granddaughter to play with as she wished. Today as her mother was otherwise occupied my granddaughter decided to start filling the boxes of one of those sheets with numbers. After a bit of time my granddaughter approached my daughter:
More and more I'm seeing the problem of the Hillary Clinton campaign, Democratic establishment, and the Democrats most partisan supporters revolves around two issues:
Lack of Respect and Lack of Self-Reflection
Not just predictable lack of respect for their opponents, but a lack of respect for allies that goes even deeper.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development issued a new regulation yesterday requiring federally funded homeless shelters to house transgender people in accordance with their gender identities.
The new rule, which covers all single-sex shelters funded through the HUD's Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD), seeks to ease widespread difficulty among the transgender population in accessing single-sex shelters — particularly those for women.
Transgender people already experience disproportionate rates of homelessness. And according to one study published earlier this year by the Center for American Progress, they also face pervasive anti-trans bias in the process of seeking shelter. Just 30 percent of shelters across four states said they were willing to house transgender women with other women, the study found.

Part Four of this series* about Hillary's hypocrisy in relation to bigotry (bigotry being only one of the things about which she is hypocritical and/or deceptive) continues with Hillary's Senate years.
Speaking at a church in Harlem, junior U.S. Senator from the State New York, Hillary Clinton, compared being minority members of the United States House of Representatives to--wait for it--being slaves on a plantation. Could any politician who is the least bit empathic reach the age of fifty plus without once trying to imagine the life of slaves on a plantation? Could anyone who once tried to imagine the extent of the misery of those slaves make such an outlandish comparison? http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/01/17/clinton.plantation/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoKT6djIfNM
