Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumPeople Have a Full Range of Opinions about the Primary Candidates
Those opinions can be freely shared.
Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote in 2016, and should be in the White House today, gave her opinion about one of the candidates. Her opinion was based on working with him when she, too, was a Senator. She knows Bernie Sanders. She knows what people think of Senator Sanders. She said what she knows and what she thinks.
So, some are attacking her and reducing her to "Mrs. Clinton." That's wrong. She was a candidate for President, and the nominee of the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders lost the primary race for that exact position. Hillary won, and by a 4 million vote margin. Now, Bernie Sanders is, once again, a candidate for that nomination. That does not make him more important than Hillary Clinton. It does not eraser her win in 2016 to become the Demcratic presidential nominee, either. That does not entitle anyone to minimize her by ignoring her past accomplishments and addressing her as they would someone who had done nothing at all.
Hillary Clinton is the subject of a documentary, and she was quoted from that documentary and commented on that. She is a national figure, based on her accomplishments.
She is entitled and fully qualified to comment on anything she wants, including on current candidates for the Democratic nomination for President - something she has actually been.
Hillary Clinton is not the enemy. She should be our President. She was robbed of that position.
I'm interested in what she has to day about this year's field of candidates for the nomination she won. Yes, I am!
Am I saying something that will be unpopular? Good!

(8,445 posts)That was class. She was full on board for our nominee right away.
Four weeks is a long time to wait before endorsing the obvious winner of the contest. It mattered.
I'm also interested in what she has to say about this field of nominees.

(146,325 posts)And then she served as his Secretary of State and did an excellent job. She is a Democrat who understands what being a Democrat means. I value her opinion highly. She should be President right now, but that was stolen from her. We all remember what happened.
Bernie Sanders remembers, too. His convention delegates booed when a beloved civil rights leader spoke regarding her nomination to be the Democratic nominee. They booed, and Bernie Sanders did nothing to stop their behavior. That was the last straw for me with regard to Senator Sanders as a Democratic candidate for anything. I'll vote for him if he manages to become the Democratic nominee, but I will work to prevent that from happening during the primary race.

I'll be voting for a Democrat in this primary. I hope I get to vote for a Democrat in the general election too.
