Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumCan you imagine- Part II
First, I would like to thank everyone who replied to my original "can you imagine" thread. What I would like to do here is a follow up to that thread. One of the arguments that we hear day after day is that people won't vote for Hillary Clinton because she's just another republican in disguise, and that electing her would be just a continuation of a republican administration. This is where I would like to direct your attention to another thread.

Reading the replies to the OP, I think I can safely say that most of them are from Bernie Sanders supporters. Given the above major excuse as to why some would not vote for Hillary Clinton should she be the nominee, and if there was any credence to the argument, wouldn't one think that the results of the test would align her more closely with Donald Trump or Ted Cruz than with Bernie Sanders? And so, here is my point. By taking that test they have exposed the hypocrisy of the claims about Hillary Clinton being "just like a Republican." I appreciate any thoughts on what I believe to be a legitimate observation. Thanks

Hillary is about as far from a Republican as you can get, she is not like Hitler as some have claimed and she will be the nominee for the Democratic Party. A few more weeks and this stuff can all go to the trash. There will no longer be a GDPee and we will be fighting Trump and the GOP.

Hillary Clinton. A lot of them are smart enough to understand that they can live with Hillary for 4 or more years,but would not be able to live with Trump for one day. They are the conservative voters who stand behind the republican politicians who have launched an all-out campaign to stop Der Trumpenfuhrer.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

(25,544 posts)Bernie supporters admitting that Bernie and Hillary are very similar on the issues. DUH. That's what a lot of people have been saying. Thank you!

(6,280 posts)Whenever I think about it, one word comes to mind. Illogical. For those who are on the wrong side of this argument, their slogan for Bernie's campaign should be.....
