Hillary Clinton

the better Clinton does. I am expecting to see the entire constituency of several states tossed under the bus, along with several minority groups and almost every civil rights icon.
I think we may have to get a bigger bus.

(198 posts)To see how they handle next weekend. Not even thinking about Super Tuesday yet, that'll be another story.
Of course.
You'll hear commentary about her stunning loss of a +90 lead or some such. And if it's under +30, they'll say she's losing steam.

(22,145 posts)Super Tuesday will be interesting and just a few days from SC, so the focus will be on that.
I'm glad we have our group .

(5,044 posts)*Some of Bernie's DU supporters have lost their ever loving mind! Apparently its also ok completely disregard two of worlds civil rights leaders... Interesting and disappointing.

I'm going to move a recliner in here and just sit back, relax, and watch Hill soar.

(55 posts)I just took a quick spin in there to see what folks are saying about an eventual Trump v. Hillary showdown, and I have to say it scared the living hell out of me! So many Bernie supporters seem to think that Hillary is just as bad as Trump and are therefore not going to vote in the GE at all if she's the Democratic nominee!
I'm actually shocked. I mean, I do NOT like Bernie and can't really understand what his appeal is, but I sure as sh*t would vote for him over Trump or any other Republican ninny the right wing throws at us! If this country is going to avoid starting WWIII (and I mean that literally), we Democrats have to vote TOGETHER! Talk about a no-brainer!
Guys, I'm a little scared. Voter turnout for presidential elections in the US hasn't cleared 60% since 1968, meaning that even the tidal wave of hope that Obama inspired in 2008 wasn't enough to get more than around half of all registered voters off their asses and into the polls. If it IS Trump v. Hillary come November, and we can't count on a solid showing from the former Bernie folks, think how low voter turnout might be...
I cannot understand their mentality. Some are ALREADY blaming Hillary for handing this country to Trump, all while self-righteously declaring that they themselves will stay home on election day if she's the nominee because they "just can't" vote for her. What kind of narcissistic, suicidal party are we becoming?! My fellow DEMOCRATS, come on!!! We're so much better than this!
The absolute hypocrisy of some BSers is just staggering. They'd rather throw the whole country under the bus than vote for Hillary. Is THAT what being progressive is? Heaven help us all.

(4,035 posts)Think that they will manage quite well under a Republican president. That is a huge indication that they most likely don't belong to a minority, or are women too old to get pregnant. I mean, why would any fertile woman, persons of color, differently-abled person, or anyone who isn't straight not at least vote for the one opposing the Republican candidate? Unless they feel they are financially secure enough to be insulated, I guess. Or are in a "safe" state, and care more about "making a statement" than standing in solidarity with those who'll be destroyed by the Republicans.
Interestingly enough, I have yet to read a Clinton supporter who says they won't vote for Sanders if he is the nominee. More evidence as to whose supporters care about people rather than principles, I guess.
