Has she done anything since going to senate? All I see she does is talk, and she attacked Obama over trade (TPP) not too long ago. And then she was too chicken to run for president, leaving Bernie to pick up the pieces and then left him to die on the vine. And she hasn't endorsed HRC yet either. Why not? She plays political games just as much as anyone and a few tweets at Trump doesn't mean anything.
I respect HRC and Sanders for at least having the balls to run. And Hillary is trying to run on the issues, not throwing rocks and then hiding her hands like Warren does.
Jill Stein SAVAGES Hillary!

I agree w/ Hillary, it's time to elect a woman for President. But I want that President to reflect the values of being a mother. #MothersDay
Why though? Kind of harsh.
Here's the rest of it.

Obama Third Term?
Would you support it? He would run better against Trump then either dem right now.
Five Thirty Eight: Sanders Shouldn’t Drop Out For Clinton’s Sake
We’re getting to the point in the primary season when people turn their focus to the general election. Since Hillary Clinton tore through the Northeast on April 26, the Bernie Sanders campaign has laid off staff and suffered fundraising setbacks. But Sanders has intimated that he will keep fighting, even contesting the Democratic convention in July. So, could Sanders damage Clinton’s chances in the general election? Do long, hard-fought primaries weaken the candidate who emerges from them victorious?
That question, which is probably even more pressing for Republicans this year, has preoccupied political scientists for decades. The hypothesis that divisive primaries are detrimental is intuitive: Candidates attack one another, dividing the party and alienating supporters. But research findings have been mixed.
In a 1998 study of presidential elections, University of New Mexico political scientist Lonna Atkeson challenged the theory by suggesting that divisive primaries occur when the party is already divided. In other words, divisive primaries are the symptom, not the disease. We’re in the midst of an open primary, but take recent incumbent presidents as an example: Gerald Ford in 1976, Jimmy Carter in 1980 and George H.W. Bush in 1992 ran into trouble in the general election, but not because they were challenged in the primaries. They attracted challengers in the primaries because they were already in political trouble. Controlling for factors that account for this political trouble — the strength of the economy and the president’s popularity — Atkeson found that the effect of divisive primaries on how well the nominee does in the general election drops out. In other words, divisive primaries don’t make the incumbent party vulnerable; the causation runs the other way.

Hopefully both sides can knock it off and realize that we should let him finish the race, then unite behind Hillary. No need for this sniping constantly.
#DropOutHillary is trending - Really?
Smh. Why do this now?

Working class whites - when did we lose them?
And what will we do to get them back. A Lot of defected to the GOP and now Trump, when they SHOULD be democrats.
What happened?
And will we get these voters back at some point?
Do we have a have huge split in this party too now?
Lots of Hillary and Bernie supporters going at each others throats this past week. I get emotions run high, and things get tense at the end, but's lets step back here. The goal is not have Trump or Cruz become president right? We need to come together here. That's not just the job of Hillary or Bernie, but their supporters too. Nasty stuff being flung across DU does not help the cause at all. We have much, much more that unites us then divides us. Let's remember that.
If Hillary really wants to stick it to Donald Trump
She has to choose Warren or another woman as VP. If we know she will win there is no risk what so ever. Plus this would really signify the historical significance of her candidacy.
