Hillary's being attacked by the Rethugs now because

she's our strongest and most likely candidate.

If you think they wouldn't be unfairly attacking Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders or anyone else in the same way, then you haven't learned anything from 6 years of Obama's Presidency.

Elizabeth or Bernie would be every bit as vulnerable to vicious, unfair attacks. Maybe more so, because they haven't had as much practice dealing with the national Republican party.

geniuses want to do? Run anyone else, however nice they may be, instead of her. Boggles the mind. Julian Castro, a Real Leftist for VP and future president. That will catch more than their "hair on fire". Clinton/Castro...LOL to the
Republicans.

6. Hate is almost invariably a function of fear and a begrudging respect.

Beside politics sports is my passion and i consequently frequent a lot of sports message boards. It's always the best players and teams who draw the most haters.

I don't care what they will say or what they think nor their assessment of anything including the relative strength of our candidates.

What do they know? Nothing, they are some of the most consistently wrong and stupid motherfuckers ever and the Turd Way crowd isn't batting much better.

8. Wow. Just wow. You really do not get how much she is hated by the right. Or not liked by the left.

Great, keep your happy talk going. Keep pushing that inevitability meme, it worked out SO WELL for you last time. As did the coronation cakewalk meme. Oh, and as far as this years - it's her turn...?

Puhlease. Spare me. Oh, and telling me that I am either voting FOR HRC or for the repub, not gonna wash.

Now go back to enjoy your little fantasy.

11. Yes I do. Apparently you don't get how hated Obama is by the right.

Any Democrat who is successful will be hated by those people.

You're only dreaming if you think they will not treat any Democratic candidate the way they've been treating Obama and, before him, Bill Clinton.
