Hillary Clinton has substantial, widespread support and is popular among Democratic voters nationally. If she runs, she'll be the odds-on favorite to win the Democratic nomination. Because people like her and trust her.

I like her and I respect her. She's hardworking, dedicated, tough, intelligent, reasonable, and fair-minded. Her ethics and mine are worlds apart in some places. I'd gladly support Bernie Sanders over Clinton, but I'll vote for Clinton without hesitation if she's the party's nominee.

However, since I'm in a deep red state and my vote hardly matters anyway, I might vote Justice Party again.

Even though the voting system in this country is still electorial college, individual vote count is still very important....

to the winner of the statewide election. Tennessee is not a part of any other movements or state coalitions to share popular votes.

I understand that, but when the votes are counted.....and the country sees the amount of votes....thats what looks great...thats all...it counts.....

the fact remains that in deep-red Tennessee, all of our states electoral votes WILL go to the GOP. There is absolutely no question about it.

I can vote a show of support for a third party, like the Justice Party, without impacting the Democratic Party's chance of success. If there was a chance that my vote would help elect a Republican, I wouldn't do it. But there's not, which leaves me free to vote third party.

Here is the Justice Party's platform from 2013. It's worth a look. Their candidate Rocky Anderson was on the ballot in 2012.

so I guess if Bubba works the state she might win it too

2014 shows he has no influence anymore

No Democrat is ever going to win TN again.Just like here In MO.

Republicans have won four straight elections in Tennessee since 1996, with the margin of victory growing progressively larger in every successive race. In the last election, Romney won with a 20% margin over Obama. It's not even close. Tennessee is not in play for Democrats.

This is an oft-cited criticism w/ the Democratic party but I am genuinely worried how there are no rising starts within the Dems. We see Paul Ryan and others in the GOP but w/ the Democrats, it's the same names being tossed around from the prior election. Love Hillary but aren't there more good dems out there to give her a good fight in the primaries? Someone who is a Dem but who would rally up a different demographic of America?

We may not have a lot of "flashy figures" but the members of our party are largely intelligent, well-educated, and any number of them would make a solid POTUS. What can the GOP claim? Oh sure, they got away with it in 2000 with W and his "folksy" charm that not only makes you want to have a beer with him but also give him the Presidency of the most powerful country in the world but they can't do the same with John McCain, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, et. al.

Hillary Clinton is a reflection of the worst among us. The lowest of our motives, the cheapest of our issues, the cowardliest of our decisions.

I don't know or care what anyone else represents, but she is not our candidate. Inherently not our candidate, by "virtue" of her personality. If we end up nominating her, it means we are conceding the election. That is all.
