1) they believe that she will win.
2) they believe that she is for sale.

Given the clown college array of Republican candidates and their own extreme statements and views, I think #1 is a safe bet and in politics, there are two kind of mega-donors - those who like attention and spend to make a point...like that freak with the Indonesian casinos, and those who are putting their money where they known it buys the most influence.

I hardly think it is a controversial statement to say that the Clintons are easily impressed and malleable to monied interests, either.

If she is the Democratic nominee, I will be supporting her and hoping to be proven wrong, but given her track record, her donor base and her statements on things like fracking, Keystone, banking regulation and the like, it is getting really hard to NOT see her as significantly to the right of the already too centrist for my taste Obama administration.

We do not need to go further RIGHT...we need to either nominate Sanders or at a bare minimum have Sanders yank Clinto back to at worst Obama's territory...IMO, of course.

And that is to make Hillary acceptable to progressives...triangulation in it's purest form.
That is how the PTB select the president. Progressives will have no other choice.
Besides once Hillary has the nomination wrapped up the GOP can always nominate someone who sounds reasonable like Jeb and still win it...so it will be a win win.
In fact it is Jeb's best shot at continuing the Bush dynasty.

Listen to him long enough and you can just about hear Limbaugh channeling him. She's getting hit from the left and the right. Only good thing is by the time the election is close, these types will have punched themselves out and people will stop listening to them.

and the people who are paid to enable them.

Frankly, I find the cult of personality surrounding some politicians on this forum to be very disturbing.

progressive lines that she is trotting out in the campaign) or her associations. That doesn't make him anti-woman.

fighting the Koch Bros and their smear campaign!

Like the future of our planet. If the corporate powers that be continue their stranglehold on the government, not only will the people continue to be swindled and merely given the crumbs from the corporate table, but even more importantly, as sure as shooting, we will pass the point of no return as far as global warming and climate change are concerned, while the megacorporations like Big Oil, Big Pharma, the For Profit Healthcare Industry, and Hedge Fund Managers gleefully rake in the megabucks in "business as usual"... Alfred Hitchcock himself couldn't have written a more macabre black comedy. The real conclusion or bottom line is that "good enough" is no longer good enough!

Bernie's right when he ways that we need a political revolution, but we shouldn't stop there. We need a revolution in our culture, spirituality, economic and business models, and in the whole way we live upon this planet!

will not vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.Bernie ,is bringing out voters who sat home last election,they will not vote for more of the same.They will focus their energies on grass roots 3rd party local elections.

Its not totally a lie, I donated to Hillary and I am not a hedge fund manager....

for whoever wins the primaries.) Trump can give himself as many of his millions as he wants.

I'd rather the Democratic candidate not unilaterally disarm.
