This is the line that stood out to me...

A Cruz/Palin ticket would rock the nation.

The idea of this is absolutely frightening to me. I know this would never happen, but to think anyone would consider those two good for the nation, saddens me.

since Hillary did or said something in the past to offend "real" Democrats sensibilities, I'm sure they'll be on this thread in a minute to tell you there's really "no difference between Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz"....and if we listen to those asshats...the Repukes win and the country loses.

Who the hell would have ever thought this country would elect/select "Dubwa", but hell, I was told at the time that there was "no difference between Bush and Gore"

that there's no difference between her and the repuke wingnuts who are running.

I just don't want the corporate hawk Hillary as the nominee.

She's better than the repukes.

she still stinks as a dem presidential nominee.

or whatever. There's a whole bunch of 'em. Don't know what works best on them - matches, a bucket of water, or a good laugh.

Not a HRC fan, but there is one major difference between the two. HRC, for all her faults, is not barking mad.

More like this, actually:

He's a snake no doubt, but I REALLY am not convinced he believes even half it..
no way he puts her on the ticket Haha

For the Democrats.

A perfectly sublime coalition of deranged and stupid.

Would Ted take her on, though? When he was at Harvard Law School he refused even to be in a study group with students who weren't graduates of the top-tier Ivy League colleges. He stood out as an assholish snob at a school that's full of them. Wouldn't he consider dumb-as-a-stump Palin, who sort of graduated only after attending something like six different not-Ivy-League colleges, a bit beneath him?

Or is he cynical enough to want her on the ticket to attract the one-handed, Cheeto-stained typists lurking in parents' basements all over America?

Is he getting tossed overboard?

The trumpster has definitely been tossed overboard.

I've always figured that if you're going to go off the deep end, you might as well go off the DEEPEST PART of the deep end.

Well, Cruise, but you know what I mean....

Cruz is too evil even for a primal lurker beyond time. I suppose he could check with Hastur the Unspeakable, but I doubt Hastur would return Ted's phone calls. There are lines even the Great Old Ones won't cross.

on some idiotic "I'll hold my breath until Hillary's not the nominee" thread here on DU.

FAIL

I agree with cyberswede in #37.

Disclaimer: I don't know if cyberswede would agree with my term "completely idiotic" and it's harsher than I usually use myself -- but already, more than a year before the Democratic National Convention, some of the Clinton supporters have exhausted my patience. Is it really impossible to have a discussion on the merits without silliness like this?

In #10, maxrandb said that there was an "idiotic 'I'll hold my breath until Hillary's not the nominee' thread here on DU."

In #12, cali responded to #10 by referring to it as "making shit up".

In #14, you responded to #12 by saying, "The poster is right" and linking to this thread, in which WilliamPitt said, "I do not want Hillary Clinton to be the Democratic nominee."

I interpreted your response to cali as meaning that, in your opinion, "I'll hold my breath until Hillary's not the nominee" was a fair characterization of WilliamPitt's statement. (It's likely that you've identified the thread that maxrandb meant, so that's probably maxrandb's view of it also, but that's not 100% certain, whereas your endorsement of the "hold my breath" language is unambiguous.)

That's my basis for saying that it was your characterization. It wasn't yours originally but you adopted it. If I've misunderstood your post, I apologize, and I'd welcome your explanation of what you actually did mean.

Seriously -- this is DU Today.

And if you don't feel you need their votes, then don't whine if you lose because you wouldn't nominate someone else.

but it would be nice if they didn't work so hard at depressing the votes of other Democrats.

You may be willing to "die on that hill", but the country can't take one more "shellacking" at the polls in 2016.

We need to pick our battles...and right now, to borrow a phrase from the wingnuts, we need to take our country back.

Our battle should not be with the presumptive Democratic nominee. It should be with the "frickin" asshats that are taking a blowtorch to our unions, our foreign policy, our environment, our civility, our economic prosperity, our social safety net, and our country. These fuckers are still fighting to roll back the New Deal and put St. Ronnie on Mount Rushmore...and they won't stop until they win.

Do we really need to help them in their quest?

You do realize that one can be a Democrat and not like Clinton as a candidate, right. You do realize that? Right? It's not rocket science. Every single person who voted for Obama in the primaries did it.

I know the new marching orders are "discredit anyone who isn't a Clinton Cheerleader, whatever it takes" but a little subtlety can go a long way

He's just stating that he doesn't want her to be the nominee. The post isn't nasty and only discusses her positions/votes (as opposed to attacking her).

(disclaimer: I didn't see the thread till someone linked to it below, since I have that poster on ignore)

Whose side are you on? I wonder...

is when he momentarily pulls his head out of his a$$

Kudos to you...

I'm not so often exposed to the delusional and willfully ignorant thinking...
It blows my mind every time.
Off to gather it and try to recover...........

Delusion is the order of the day with them.

The more they like a candidate the worse he or she eventually does.

That's she's too hawkish and beholden to Wall Street?

I hope they get their wish. It would be amusing to watch them lose.

Ted Cruz is a caucasoid/white.
He is a member of that madeup group, “HISPANIC”, though.
“Hispanics” are of all races, including mixed race and many Cubans are 100% caucasoid.

"You are absolutely correct. A Cruz/Palin ticket would rock the nation. Everyone in America would sent $10 on up and there would be a Huge War Chest. I sincerely hope he makes the announcement and Sarah accepts. Then it's off to the new America! Replenish, Repair and Restore!"

And these people are allowed to run around loose and unmedicated?? Don't know whether to or . Think I will go with for the time being. "Good evening everybody, and now it's time to play Spot The Looney!"

I mean owner Jim Robinson swore up and down that if Mitt Romney or Rudy Guiliani got the nomination in 2008 then he would shut down the Free Republic.

We are still waiting!

That's how this campaign will go.

Also, "caucasoid"?

Ho, freepers are hypocrites, if only we'd known that.

Did anyone ask the poster to specify exactly how "the forces of evil will ARRAY against him"?

God does not usually allow you to start there!
