Something I think we can ALL get behind... Hillary stepping up to a podium this afternoon and...

[cherokeeprogressive]

gracefully and graciously accepting the Democratic Party's nomination for President of the United States. Today.

I think the Clinton supporters at DU would love it because it would be pro-active and SHOW DUers AND everyday citizens that don't support Hillary who's boss. It would also show the world she ain't afraid of no right-wing email schmemail bullshit and broke rules, NOT laws.

The Bernie Sanders supporters at DU could get behind it simply because we love good comedy.

1. Muhahahahaha... that's good

[reformist2]

21. I *will* be the nominee, Joey. There is no way I *won't* be...

At first you think, how arrogant!. On second thought, it sounds a little ominous.

[yourpaljoey]

28. Ominous indeed.

If she slips out of the email crimes we know this country is broke beyond the fixing
of it.

[CorporatistNation]

33. HILLARYOUS... Full Of Mucho "Hillarity!"

Love the

My how the facts conflict with a scene such as you describe...

MSNBC To the deniers... Watch THIS Video... It is not comforting to think that she may well be the Democratic Nominee...

Hillary really betrayed Andrea Mitchell... The entire context of this report was of a solemn nature... A Funeral so to speak...

Andrea Mitchell "I do not see this report as ...ANYTHING BUT... DEVASTATING!"

Chuck Todd "After this I don't think that she could get confirmed for Attorney General!"

Lots of FIBBING by Hillary here.. for more than a year!

[Hiraeth]

2. Someone please explain to me how one accepts something unless it is given.

Doesn't the word {accept} imply that something was {given}

Maybe English is my second language. I feel that way around here a lot.

[cherokeeprogressive]

3. Yeah it was sarcasm.

From a die hard BernieBro.

[Hiraeth]

10. oh yeah, I got that. Sorry, it is good, too. but, honestly ... I keep hearing how she has the

nomination all sewed up and I don't understand how people can say it with a straight face.

It might be a buttonhole's chance for Bernie but, it is not all sewed up until it is buttoned.

Guess I am just in a serious mood today.

The weather is pretty grey and cloudy here.

[KingFlorez]

4. I think that is what Sanders should do

You all think that he has already won the nomination anyway and that Clinton is just staying in the race to harm him, so shouldn't he just accept the nomination?

[cherokeeprogressive]

6. That's some original thinking right there. nt

[KingFlorez]

7. So you don't believe that Sanders has won the primary?

I'm confused. I thought you all believed Sanders had won.

[cherokeeprogressive]

13. Don't think so much.

[Armstead]

8. Heck it was rigged from the start...We knew that

Still trying to pull off the proverbial upset, but always knew it has been a longshot.

However, we still naively believe that the Democratic Party is not yet a wholly owned subsidiary of Clinton Inc. and wold like to have some influence on the direction of the party, even though we're just average schmucky citizens.

[KingFlorez]

11. Rigged how?

The rules are exactly the same in the primary as they have been for years and no one changed them because they hate Sanders.

[Armstead]

16. There's rigged and there's rigged

Process, yah de dah....No not necessarily rigged

The Clintons buying superdelegates, using their power to drive the media narrative before anyone else even announced for the primary...... the early shutout of any significant coverage of Bernie until after new years, the portrayal of him as a marginal candidate despite the huge support he genrated.....the immense money flowing into the Clinton Coffers, the ties to the Big Business and Big Banking Elites who really call the shots.....That's rigging big time.

[sweetloukillbot]

17. Sounds like you've got some juicy details on Clinton's bribes there...

Maybe you should back them up with links about her buying superdelegates.

[Armstead]

18. buying in the loosest term...

There are plenty of articles out there from reputable sources about how the Clintons operate. Favors, reflected glory, enemies lists, etc.

It's not all just a matter of "Gee I really believe in the Clintons and love what they've done."

I'm not going to waste my time doing your homework, but if you care you can use the wonderful Google machine and other resources.

[sweetloukillbot]

32. I wouldn't expect you to do my homework.

Just back up your claims. Which you apparently can't, since you expect me to do YOUR research for you.

[Armstead]

34. Nope...played that conservativbe game too many times

"Show me a link to prove your point"

"Okay here's a link"

"That's not a valid source."

"Okay here are some more."

"Nope those are not valid. They are biased."

blah, blah,blah....

You can either care and do your homework -- or if you know already can decide it doesn't matter. Or not. Either way it's your choice.Not my concern.

[Fawke Em]

23. He's not as adept at lying as Clinton. eom

[kayakjohnny]

5. Yep. Just go out and claim the damned thing.

Like when there's a sinking boat in the river, and you use your rights to salvage a derelict vessel.

Same idea. I think you're onto something.

[nc4bo]

9. Stepping up onto the podium and admit her errors in judgment

and doing a Jerry Swaggart would be a really good start.

[Merryland]

26. That would be in opposite world

In this world we've got an unrepentant sleaze.

[Armstead]

12. Well she's pretty much done that, without the pomp and circumstance

This Bernie thing is just a crimp in the plan.

The Democrats are still hoping the Democratic Convention will be an extended Infomercial for Clinton Inc. That's when the crown will be gratefully conferred by the employees, er, members of the party.

[pdsimdars]

14. But, what I heard was that . . . .

.

[karynnj]

15. I assume that the Clinton people would far prefer that she await the pageantry of the convention

That is an incredible moment and one that she will have earned. Doing it now would look pretty strange.

[anotherproletariat]

19. That totally sounds like Sanders, not Hillary. I'm surprised he hasn't picked a VP yet. nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. Another "I know you are but what am I" post...

Sorry but today's prize for that was earned up thread.

[msongs]

22. yet when sanders says HE is going to win it is like a revelation from heaven. ok nt

[cherokeeprogressive]

24. Don't know anything about revelations from Heaven.

And to be honest, I thought revelation was a terrible wicked thing to be feared.

[senz]

25. Because who cares about the nine remaining primaries & their voters?

"Democracy" -- hah!

[Merryland]

27. Please tell me you're kidding?

[Buzz cook]

29. She is less than 80 delegates away from locking

I can wait till then

[bobbobbins01]

30. Why stop there? She could save us all some time and just announce that she is now President.

Obama can take an early vacation.

[cherokeeprogressive]

31. Beats my idea by a country mile. nt
