DNC vs Sanders. Is the DNC right to block Sander's access to DNC voter data?

@blatham,
Admiring and liking are two different things.

@blatham,
That poll is ridiculous and most are. Name recognition is a pernicious component of polling that obviously skewed the results.

I wish they'd simply ask why as a follow up.

@georgeob1,
Your mention of China and India is laughable at best. We need to be compared to the developed countries in Europe where their standard of living is comparable to the US.

It was you who referred to the worlds largest economies, not me. Perhaps you should recant your original assertion.

@georgeob1,
Of coarse anyone can nitpick, but I'm pretty sure most understand what I meant.
Only a devout republican like you would attack it.

Universal health care is good for all the people. That's a simple fact that goes over the head of republicans.

On the Gallup poll which has held Hillary Clinton as the most admired woman in the world. For seven consecutive years...

Because it can't be true. It's unpossible that so many people could like her. She's not likeable. Any suggestion or evidence saying anything else is axiomatically unworthy of attention. Or acknowledgement.

Perhaps this is off topic but I'm a rebel. Independent. My own man. I take no guff unless it has been certified to be gluten-free. It's a prediction I'm making here.
*Just by the way, I once had a lady-friend dress up like a sexy Cassandra and then tell me what was going to happen over the next four or five hours.*

Here's the prediction...

Donald Trump (soon): "Foreign affairs? Let me tell you, folks...I could sell fire-extinguishers to Satan". Cheers. Standing ovation.

@blatham,
How can she be most admired AND 60% of Americans deem her most untrustworthy of politicians?

Can't be both.

Why do I predict that this is going to happen? Why go out on the limb so far?

Good question!

The following is a quotation from the person that John McCain chose to replace him if something happened to him. Please tell me what this means. Or, read it three times and then turn to another person who hasn't read it and explain what Sarah just said. Is everybody ready?

Quote:
"So up there in Alaska, across the way Russia," Sarah Palin said. "You know there is a name for this taking advantage of America. There is a Russian name for that. And it is called 'fortushka.' And that means Obama's window of opportunity. So as Obama leads from behind the skirt of his right-hand man, Valerie Jarrett, then it's up to Congress to close that window. He may propose. You dispose, Congress. You gotta be in it to win it because we want peace. With unapologetic mighty red, white, and blue, will have peace."

Wow! And she was the VP choice? Scary.
How did she manage to get so far in our politics?

Yeah. Well it is both. Your next step is to think about why both are true.

And there is the important question. David Frum, serious conservative, wrote:

Yeah, it took a while. But I had to stand on my head, and then try and stick it up my ass, while whistling "Dixie". You gotta respect what some people go through to get where they went.

Well, that makes good explanatory sense. Just look at the Gallup polling to find "most respected man", where Obama tops Pope Francis. I mean, after all, who the hell has even heard of the Pope? Or George Bush, or Putin, or Netanyahu (all of whom fall farther down in this polling?

@blatham,
Thanks for sharing a very obvious example to support my argument.

Obama has the greatest name recognition in America, which is why he could easily show at the top of worst and most revered politician- in effect, what Hillary has done - least trusted and most admired, indeed.
