To a right wing babbling demagogue then you're no fucking Democrat
We have a lot of people here that rejoice whenever a new poll comes out with Trump leading but they are no where to be seen when one comes out with Hillary leading
It makes you wonder
You can go ahead and call me a Brock troll
But at least I'm supporting the Dem nominee

They are scared of the boogeyman.

(58,785 posts)Jackilope, analysts have identified an entire block of Sanders voters who are primarily motivated by "Hillary derangement syndrome." They joined him because he was running against her, not for his ideology or goals. And the more they indulged the worst facets of their characters (at least I hope they are!), the worse their group behaviors became and the stronger their malice.

(154,021 posts)by the way, none is rejoicing, but if your party choses to commit suicide by nominating a very damaged candidate now by a government investigation, please proceed. There is nothing I can do to stop you. When somebody is that sure they want to pull the trigger, usually nobody can.
Some of us have been trying to warn you for quite a while, longer than you have been here, not to do this. Go for it. I am almost feeling froggy and telling you, go ahead, nominate her. A person under FBI investigation who the press is already tearing to shreds over an actual government report, will do well in the general. You are enabling indirectly the election of a fascist.
Historians will hold you to account.

(10,650 posts)Give a few links to someone "rejoicing" that Hillary will lose to trump?
I can give you plenty of people warning that Hillary is a terrible candidate who is wildly unpopular among the voting public and has a very good chance of losing to trump.
I would rejoice if she loses to Bernie. I wouldn't rejoice if she lost to trump, but I wouldn't be surprised if she did.
cui bono
(19,926 posts)I, for one, think she should be called upon to drop out so that a Dem can win. She will not win. She has a train load of baggage. If you don't think Trump will use the OIG report and teh FBI investigation against Hillary 24/7 then you are in denial.
How is she going to win with that story dominating the media 24/7?
If Hillary supporters keep supporting her and do not call for her to drop out of the race, they are the ones aiding and abetting Trump.
