The Democratic Party Powerstructures had Become Clintons' Unoffical Properties

[mylye2222]

And not since yesurday.
In 2004 DLC was lead by Terry McAuliffe a close Clintons friend. He failed securing the voters registrations and process regarding accountability in more than one State including crucial Ohio.
In 2008 the Party supported Clinton agqknst Obama President Obama in fact only won the nomination because he had hundred of thousands little donation and because the campaign rallied more peopke. His campaigning mode was a mass mouvement that worked. The sparty nontheless still plane d to nominate almost till last minute her but at last she finally retored from the race in favor of Obama.... and by doing this got State.
And now Hillary Clinton is INEVITABLE because, I am certain of it to the core, since she left State, her team managed succesfully to LOCK UP every Dem powerstructure, in turn every most powerfull donors on behalf of the Clintons.
That political, and mediatic system of constantly put Clintons at frontline since month lasted for months and therefore seared in Dem voters minds that....it was her or chaos.
All of this long dissent suppressing work led to nowadays situations when Clinton ctitics are underminded and where any challenger has close to zero chance to get recognition. Those possible challrngers are only spoken of in terms as "weak" etc.

Bravo for your internal Dem coup d'état , Clinton Team!

1. Give her a chance. She had every advantage before and blew it.

She absolutely can blow it again, and it will be spectacular!

[Thinkingabout]

2. Are you thinking it is smart to have Hillary? surround herself with the best?

I do, Hillary is serious about running, is serious about being the president of the US, this she does to serve the citizens of the US.

[mylye2222]

3. HRC is mostly serious

About serving the Clintons and honoring the pact she passed with Bill decades ago, in Yale ( she would help him enter WH the it would be his turn to drive her into Oval Office), than serving The People.
Someone who is more interested to serving others diesnt grips that much on seeking candidacy .

[Thinkingabout]

20. Are you going with the typical talking points or have you looked at her life record?

[mylye2222]

21. I have looked at her life.

And the story about her taste of power doesnt come from "RW" but from a documentary I saw on French very serious parlemental canal LCP ( La Chaine Parlementaire), called "Bill And Hillary".

[Thinkingabout]

23. Did the documentary show where she advocated for Civil Rights?

Did the documentary show where she has advocated for women's rights?
Did the documentary show where she advocated for education for children?
Did the documentary show where she made a presentation to Congress for healthcare?
Did the documentary show where she pushed for the promotion of women at Walmart?
Did the documentary show where she pushed for "Buy America" at Walmart?
Did the documentary show where she march with LGBT?
Did the documentary show where she sponsored bills to increase minimum wages?

These are just a few of the issues she has worked to get.

[mylye2222]

24. It showed about women rights fighting...

And also about how she worked hard on the healthcare reform.

[Thinkingabout]

26. I hope you read more of Hillary and know she has and will continue to fight for

Issues important to middle class citizens. This other dribble is just that, dribble.

4. Unrec. Nonsensical amateur analysis. Was McAuliffe a bad guy when he got the nomination for Kerry?

From wiki:

In June 2000, as organizers of the 2000 Democratic National Convention (DNC) were scrambling to raise $7 million, McAuliffe was named chairman of the convention.

In February 2001, McAuliffe was elected chairman of the DNC, and served until February 2005. McAuliffe tried and failed to persuade his top rival, Maynard Jackson, to drop out of the race for chairman, but was still the heavy favorite. During his tenure, the DNC raised $578 million, and emerged from debt for the first time in its history.

In the period between the 2002 elections and the 2004 Democratic convention, the DNC rebuilt operations and intra-party alliances. McAuliffe worked to restructure the Democratic primary schedule, allowing Arizona, New Mexico, North Carolina and South Carolina to vote earlier; the move provided African-American and Hispanic communities greater power in presidential primaries. According to The Washington Post, the move bolstered United States Senator John Kerry's fund raising efforts.

6. Maybe . But...

Dont forget that most Wiki articles on politicians are written by contributors who in vast majority are supporter of those guys and want to cast a favorable light on them

[FSogol]

7. Don't forget, some of us live here in Virginia and watched party politics as they happened.

We didn't just fantasize events based on our hatred of one woman with 75% approval from our party who is considering a Presidential run.

[mylye2222]

16. Ahhhh I was expecting the usual labelling.....

Can you prove with facts and/or links that Dem Party is not controlled by Clintons people?

[FSogol]

19. Do Jim Webb and Martin O'Malley believe that? No. Did Obama? No.

I go to local party meetings. The majority supports HRC, but the Clintons aren't calling the shots.

PS: What label am I being accused of using?

[Gothmog]

30. The same is true here in deep red Texas

Sec. Clinton has a great deal of support. I attend all of the county party meetings and a Senate District wide (20+ counties) summit/meeting/workshop and there is an overwhelming amount of support for HRC

[stevenleser]

5. Yes, so much so that Hillary didn't win the nomination in 2008. Oops! nt

[FSogol]

9. Awesome power.........not

[stevenleser]

11. This is the same OP who claimed Hillary supporters control DU.

[FSogol]

15. Sssshhhh, don't make them mad!

[mylye2222]

10. She losr only because Obama came late as the new star

and that his rise was surprizing enough to destabilize thzir stategy.
Woukdnt have been the current president running at the time she would have won very highly.
Dont forget that Obama was then not funded by Dem Party.

[stevenleser]

13. You're 0-2 for the last two OPs of yours I have seen. We Hillary supporters don't control DU either.

You're analysis is way, WAY off.

[hrmjustin]

27. He had plenty of money and he caught on att the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Iowa

in mid 2007.

I know you don't like pushback from Hillary supporters but at least get your facts right.

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. President Obama did not come "late".

He announced in February of 2007.

[brooklynite]

8. What "powerstructures" has Clinton "locked up"?

And how did she do it?

Showing an ability to win against any Republican perhaps?

Showing an ability to raise the HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars a candidate will need to compete under the rules we can't change right now?

Having a politicial record that's popular with centrists and liberals (if not, perhaps, the DU intelligensia)?

Isn't the point of a political campaign to collect support? Are you suggesting that Sanders et al deserves support without going after it themselves?

[mylye2222]

14. Oh.... she didnt " wenr after" like any other candidate.

Look... the name Clinton is so popukar she almost right now evend dont have to convince to win momination. She is Hillary Clinton and that is enough. There is no more beautifull, charismatic new star like Obama now.

[brooklynite]

17. Political figures actually like to win things...

...you're naive if you think people are signing up solely because of her name. She's a hard-working, experienced, and very popular politician. All you need to do is find one of your own.

[Orsino]

12. I suspect that the Dems' power structure and the Clintons are all unofficially property.

It shows much more than I am comfortable with.

[geek tragedy]

22. As a 2008 Obama supporter, I call bullshit on this.

Clinton did better in primaries, Obama did better in caucuses.

Which pretty much refutes the argument that the 'party structure' was rigged for Clinton

[hrmjustin]

25. And Jesus Wept!

This is just ridiculous!

It is not Hillary's fault that she is in the lead for the nomination and others are having a hard time getting traction.

[DURHAM D]

28. Yep

[Gothmog]

31. Many supporters want her because she is the best opportunity to win in 2016

I like Sec. Clinton's accomplishments and I really want to make sure we control the SCOTUS nomination process.

[SidDithers]

32. Oh FFS...
