And they say they won't vote for her, but when compared to republican nominees they want her to win?

(68,644 posts)Not me, not you, but low information voters might love or hate her for just the name recognition, "Yeah, like Bill Clinton, I remember him".
This makes you and me cringe, why should anyone have an advantage just for the name???
It's not everything, but it's not "nothing".
And, I meant "because she's a Clinton" as an epithet, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

(30,058 posts)it doesn't taste good. It seems to be a some thinks she is too close to corporations but when the smoke clears many have connections and have accepted corporate donations to their campaigns. Yes, she is in demand for speaking to Wall Street companies but this isn't a bad thing. Some do not like her vote on the Iraq war though Bush lied and jumped to the invasion without exhausting all avenues.
She has experience in the Senate, she has served as SOS and she has fought many years for women's rights and civil rights.

DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)Though it goes beyond empty, it makes us sick. Whether Hillary's supporters realize it or not, there were things that Hillary supported and IS SUPPORTING that will KILL OR INJURE many of those on the left that are still expected to march into the booths and get "ready for Hillary." The poison that will spill from the Trans-Canada pipeline, the troops that will come back dead from Syria, the people hurt by slashing welfare, make no mistake, they will be hurt, if not killed.
And before some of her supporters take out the branding irons they used in 2008 "Sexist!/Anti-Semite/insert cheap insult here", and the war cries "Party Unity my Ass!", let me add this point: since Hillary has not yet decided if she is running (snicker) she is in that phase where she supposedly can define who she would run as; she is supposedly malleable. We, as the voters of the Democratic Party, have every right to say that we want to see certain things from her, and that we do NOT want to see certain from her. We have every right to say "If you want to pass through this gate, we need you to come in from the left." What is sad is that if Hillary wanted to be a liberal, she could.
Anything stopping her from denouncing the Keystone Pipeline, save for the fact her Hubby has already supported it, and already condemned Obama for not approving it pronto?
Anything stopping her from saying "If I were to become president, one thing I would COMMIT TO was to get rid of Nafta, at least as we know it."
Anything stopping her from saying "If I were to run, I would demand BiBi Netanyahu cease his course of action, and come with us to Oslo, where we can resume implementing the Oslo accords that everyone, Israel included, agree to when my Husband was President?"
Oh, but you cannot offend people in office. Ha, that sure as hell did not stop her from writing that book of "hard choices" and stabbing Obama in the back, knowing her words would be used by the GOP to apply pressure on him to do "Stupid Stuff." This was the unkindest cut of all. If Obama ran things like Hillary did, no one from the Clinton era would have been allowed in the cabinet, because he would have shown the vengeful spite the Clintons are known for. That would have meant Hillary would not be SoS, and Obama could have earned EASY praise.
The right wing would have praised him because it would have meant Hillary would have had a sad ride into the sunset. The left would have loved him because they hated Hillary the War Hawk. But no, despite the fact that leaving Hillary out would have been easy, he kept her on, and she repaid him by that damned book, which is a way of paving over Obama on her way to the White House she felt was hers.
davidpdx
(22,000 posts)I am really hoping she decides to duck out of this thing and not run. The open field is going to make it harder in the long run, but we will have much more in terms of choice and not being pressured to choose a specific person.
You listed many issues that should be important in the next election and that we should be drilling all the candidates on.
We have come a long way in 8 years, but it is hardly enough to clean up all the past mistakes over the four and a half decades. I think honestly we are looking at another 50 years to completely reverse course and get some good progressive ideas passed.

(37,364 posts)She doesn't take a stand on anything. The only thing I think she can be associated solidly with are women's issues, which we do need right now. However, we need women's issues and.... from a candidate. Most importantly, I have no sense of where she stands when it comes to people who are poor. She never addresses the economic needs of the people in concrete terms to rally behind her on. I must confess also that some of her behavior during the 2008 campaign still bothers me.

(62,325 posts)Hillary and Obama. The reasons were, Obama had opposed the Iraq War, he opposed Mandated Insurance and he promised to close that blight on humanity, Guantanamo Bay. He also promised to protect SS from the usual suspects AND he opposed Torture.
Hillary was hesitant on torture, she supported the Heritage Foundation Mandated Ins, she had voted for the War in Iraq and wasn't too strong on SS.
There was no way I would ever support anyone, as I stated on the night of that vote, who supported Bush's War in Iraq.
But fortunately in 2008, we had a candidate who had opposed it.
I believe in the end most Dems got on board with Obama, eight years of Bush policies terrified people enough to set aside their differences and enough Independents got on board with Hillary supporters and of course those of us who supported Obama and voted for the Democrat.
Times have changed. But for those of us who refuse to ever support anyone who when they had the chance to cast a 'no' vote, chose not to, if Hillary is the candidate, we have no choice, unlike in 2008.
Independents, many of them former Dems, will not support Hillary just as they did not in 2008.
Hillary lost in 2008 because of her Iraq War Vote. People had a choice then. If she is the nominee, those same people will not have a choice and most Dems I know who refused and continue to refuse to support ANYONE who got it SO WRONG then, will never vote for her.
So, she lost in 2008. What makes you think she will win now? Do you really think that people will set aside their consciences for political purposes? Some may, but many won't.
I will be focusing on Congress if she is the nominee but I will never support anyone whose judgement was so bad and who has never even admitted it. Imo, anyone who made that disastrous decision doesn't have what it takes to be a leader.
I am hoping we will have a choice, but I hope the party is listening, enough people like me, who in the past, held their noses and voted for the Dem, won't be doing that anymore. In doing so we became part of the problem.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)I also think she will do just fine with Democratic party members.

Republicans will never vote for Hillary, no matter how much she tries to win their votes. Left leaning Independents will not vote for her, as they did for Obama. And many Dems like me, will never vote for her. We are telling the party this now. No more 'hold your nose and vote'. If they ignore the warnings, then they, and they alone, will be responsible for the outcome.
You have to remember that people like me and those left leaning Independents, were willing to hold their noses and vote for the Dem in 2008. Without those voters, she doesn't have a chance.

Manny: President Obama has called himself a 1980's RepublicanReality:
President Obama said his economic policies are "so mainstream" he'd be considered a moderate Republican in the 1980s.
In a Thursday interview with a Miami-based local television station, Obama said he thinks few people believe he wants to impose socialism on the country.
"The truth of the matter is that my policies are so mainstream that if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican," he told Noticias Univision 23 in a White House interview.
"I mean, what I believe in is a tax system that is fair," he continued. "I don't think government can solve every problem. I think that we should make sure that we're helping young people go to school. We should make sure that our government is building good roads and bridges and hospitals and airports so that we have a good infrastructure.

He didn't call himself a 1980s Republican. Nor did he say he considered himself a 1980s Republican. He said he'd be considered a moderate Republican in the 1980s based on his belief in a fair taxes, his belief that government can't solve every problem, that young people need help going to school, that government is building good infrastructure.
I realize facts and meanings get lost in the black/white, "either this or that" world of 'progressives,' but anyone with half a brain would see Obama was pointing out the stupidity of Republicans calling him a socialist.
Now you can spin and twist it to match your original reply. In fact, I'm expecting it.
MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)President Obama says he has the same policies as a 1980's Republican.
Would you consider Hillary's policies to be to the left of Obama's policies? If so, which specific policies?
wyldwolf
(43,867 posts)Nope - he said he'd be considered a moderate Republican in the 1980s based on his belief in a fair taxes, his belief that government can't solve every problem, that young people need help going to school, that government is building good infrastructure. His point was Republicans and Democrats shared many of the same goals.
MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)"if I had set the same policies that I had back in the 1980s, I would be considered a moderate Republican"
Now you want to strike that passage out?
I think it's pretty clear that the President is saying:
1. His policies are those of a 1980's Republican (I'd say 1990s or 1920s, but whatever)
2. Those are good policies because they/he believe in fair taxes, etc.
All that being said... are Hillary's would-be, er, will-be policies to the left of Obama's? Which ones?
wyldwolf
(43,867 posts)1. His policies are those of a 1980's Republican (I'd say 1990s or 1920s, but whatever)
His policies on those specific issues are those of DEMOCRATS - but Republicans shared those beliefs.
2. Those are good policies because they/he believe in fair taxes, etc.
Then what's your problem?
MannyGoldstein
(34,589 posts)What I think you're saying is that Obama's policies are at the thin intersection where Reagan Democrats and Republicans met? So that while Obama's policies are those of a Reagan Democrat, there were also Republicans who favored those policies too?
I think that's in the ballpark, although Obama's policies seems to be to the right of Reagan himself - austerity, war and so forth.
wyldwolf
(43,867 posts)You state what you think others are saying then make a conclusion based on those thoughts. You did it with Obama's initial statements and now with mine: What I think you're saying is that Obama's policies are at the thin intersection where Reagan Democrats and Republicans met? (your thought on what I'm saying) So that while Obama's policies are those of a Reagan Democrat, there were also Republicans who favored those policies too? (your conclusion)

(23,156 posts)because I see almost no evidence that she actually supports Progressive ideas and policies or would do anything to help the struggling middle and lower classes. She has become ensconced in a world of privilege to the point where she honestly has no clue what ordinary mortal lives are about. She hangs out with the 1% and thinks they represent the best this country has to offer.
More to the point, I'm horrified by the idea that we'd nominate someone who is a creature of the past, when what we need is someone who looks forward. I'm stunned at the idea that there has been absolutely no new candidates for the highest office in more than twenty years. And it absurd that anyone says Oh, it's her time. Excuse me? We don't -- or at least we shouldn't -- select our Presidents based on some sort of seniority system. It is my opinion that her time is past. She is too old for the job of President. I'm less than a year younger than she is, and I still think she's too old.
greatlaurel
(2,004 posts)It is easy to harp about one or two policies or votes and ignore the decades of work HRC has done for the American people. There is no politician with whom I agree all the time. All politicians have to appease many different constituencies. HRC has stood with us far more than she has failed us. The platform she ran on in the primaries in 2008 was better than Barack Obama's, but her critics ignored her platform.
The Republican Party is absolutely terrified of her running. They are throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at her and none of it is working.
As members of the Democratic Party, we should concentrate our time on getting out the vote this November of 2014. All this hate is counterproductive and seems aimed to depress voter turnout this coming election.

(20,453 posts)Had she come out against the Iraq war, and campaigned on issues to take us past that bridge to the 21st century (as she was capable to do), she would have had me in a skinny second and won over Obama in a landslide.
I would have led that charge because I learned that Obama was so much more conservative, right from that University of Chicago School of Milton Freidman Economics and Wall Street ass-kissing "Americans".
That was not to be found, and it's a damned shame. How then, could I vote for her since then? I couldn't now. I couldn't in 2008.
davidpdx
(22,000 posts)I think had she done that and ran a campaign instead of a rollercoaster in 2008 less people would have gotten behind Obama.

For me personally I decided early on to back Obama.

(14,733 posts)People who spend more time paying attention to politics than most people.
Who pays more attention to politics than most?
Two sorts of folks - strongly partisan folks and people who have reasons to want to change the status quo.
HRC is fine for the strongly partisan types. They did the polling, she most handily beats anyone on team red.
But HRC, while 'better than' the Republican option, still represents the 'status quo' on a lot of issues to those interested in changing the status quo. Been in politics her whole life, hawkish interventionist, supports policies that continue to provide crumbs to the poor while money flows like water up to the wealthy. Worked to help her husband on pro-corporate, anti-labour trade policies that helped destroy the middle class, continued to work on such while part of the state department.
So for the 'anti-status quo' crowd, there's more a difference of degree than kind separating her from some Republicans.
If you get a theocrat candidate put up on the right, though, expect even the asq crowd to vote for her.

(14,733 posts)While there are questions as to how deeply enmeshed she is with them, she has referred to Dominionist 'Family' leader David Coe as a spiritual mentor, and attended a number of their prayer meetings, and not 'just' the annual National Prayer Breakfasts. I hope she isn't a Dominionist, but I find it quite troubling that she found enough in common with them to hang out with them, and haven't heard her ever denounce them or refute her association with them.
pampango
(24,692 posts)As their fear swells in advance of Hillary Clintons anticipated presidential campaign, the feverish smears of the Republican right increasingly resemble the desperate gambits of a certain Wile E. Coyote. The latest episode in their cartoonish crusade appeared in the Washington Free Beacon, which headlined The Hillary Letters the other day with an ominous subhead: Hillary Clinton, Saul Alinsky correspondence revealed.
Not only did Clinton become acquainted as a young woman with the legendary community organizer a fact mentioned in Living History, her own memoir but she apparently wrote at least two letters to him in the summer of 1971. At the time, she was working as a legal intern for a well-known left-wing law firm in Berkeley another item noted in Living History, which was published 11 years ago.
In the most telling passage from the letters Clinton sent to Alinsky during that turbulent summer more than 40 years ago, she writes: The more Ive seen of places like Yale Law School and the people who haunt them, the more convinced I am that we have the serious business and joy of much work aheadif the commitment to a free and open society is ever going to mean more than eloquence and frustration. (She doesnt sound much like a Communist either.)
But like the hapless Looney Tunes varmint brandishing his Acme dynamite sticks, the right-wing pamphleteers are so furious in their fruitless pursuit of Clinton that they will seize any and every bomb to throw at her, no matter how many times they blow themselves up instead. Those angry, soot-covered boobs never seem to understand why their attacks leave her completely unscathed and often even stronger than before.

If it's not Hillary, it will be someone who is similarly hawkish and ready to give goodies to the corporate sector, different from the Republicans only in being more advanced on behavioral issues and willing to throw the public a few crumbs (e.g. not privatizing Social Security).
The Democrats are mostly better on sexual and racial politics, but neither party represents the economic interests of ordinary people.
