What does looking to be popular have to do with looking good? TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #25

It was a play on what others have said here. a joke. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #27

So nothing. Gotcha. TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #163

While I am not a big fan of mainstream anything, I am very hopeful that If she is the nominee randys1 Feb 2015 #65

oh the conspiracy. misterhighwasted Feb 2015 #77

If Hillary runs she will get a lot of cross over votes. I know many Rs in my area who have already Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #2

This is true....but it also begs the question... Cali_Democrat Feb 2015 #22

Subconscious racism but I believe that group is small. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #28

oh Honey, around here it is Not even Subconscious. n/t Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #33

Sure, np, /NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #71

Please, don't make me pull out that card. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #29

JEB is perceived as a "big government" insider by the Righties GreatGazoo Feb 2015 #44

I don't blame them, she will vote in their interests Reter Feb 2015 #57

I too know many repubs that say they will vote for her. CrispyQ Feb 2015 #107

Yeah, pretty much my thinking, too. I know a lot Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #159

Yeah, right AgingAmerican Feb 2015 #191

that is a pretty broad brush you are using there ... {MOST Republican women.} Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #194

Where were you during the 90s? AgingAmerican Feb 2015 #195

whatever. I almost hope she runs now just to prove you wrong. We could do a lot worse than her. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #196

and this has CONSISTENTLY been her record.... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #4

Question for you all.. android fan Feb 2015 #5

There is a pretty big electability difference on the Democratic side though. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #9

Interesting. android fan Feb 2015 #14

Yes And No DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #23

How about we don't need to use Generic....we KNOW that Hillary has consistently had this record... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #10

I'm a Sanders supporter android fan Feb 2015 #21

If you are not willing to vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton should she win the Primary VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #24

If she does win the nomination.... android fan Feb 2015 #26

and a 50 point lead....and double digit leads over all Republicans.... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #115

Pre-concived narrative you say? Cosmic Kitten Feb 2015 #108

Senator Sanders knows he does not have a rats chance in hell William769 Feb 2015 #32

I thought Sanders has already said he would NOT run as an I. Pretty sure I read it on here. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #35

I don't remember that. William769 Feb 2015 #37

Let me see if I can find the link/thread. Give me a minute. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #41

Cue Jeopardy theme... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #42

cute. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #48

I do recall what you are saying. NCTraveler Feb 2015 #51

It is still so early in the process that I really take a lot of this "posturing" Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #70

Here DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #52

yes, thanks. Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #55

I think this is where the thought came from. NCTraveler Feb 2015 #60

no problem - Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #67

take your pick --- ~o^o~ Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #53

Thanks. William769 Feb 2015 #62

you are most welcome Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #66

He said he wouldn't be a spoiler and should be taken at his word. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #50

Agreed. William769 Feb 2015 #58

I say let him cross over D and let Her cross over R and watch DU heads explode Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #61

Why would she do that? William769 Feb 2015 #68

she wouldn't, of course. but, in my mind, it is more a truthful reflection of their politics ... Tuesday Afternoon Feb 2015 #72

Do you honestly think Sanders would get the nod from his colleagues for Labor Sec? Unless HRC..... Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #150

You took it out of context. android fan Feb 2015 #192

No, no, no nichomachus Feb 2015 #84

It is just part of the selling of Hillary as the only one. zeemike Feb 2015 #143

Please allow me to disabuse you of the notion that Bernie could possibly "win the nomination". Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #154

You honestly have no idea how early numbers mean nothing! nt Logical Feb 2015 #116

She can get more if she tracks right in her policy positions! RadiationTherapy Feb 2015 #6

She doesn't have to move to the right...she already HAS the donors and support my friend.... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #13

Ah, well, that makes it more interesting if she does track right as many candidates do post-primary. RadiationTherapy Feb 2015 #17

what makes you think she will track right? Her record sure doesn't show that... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #36

To me, she is quite conservative, particularly in regard to wealth aggregation. RadiationTherapy Feb 2015 #178

To you but you are wrong...You want Left critiques.....here you go... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #204

At this point? android fan Feb 2015 #30

Why is she "expecting" them to? They already are.... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #38

Why did she just pay off the 2008 debt last year???? nt Logical Feb 2015 #117

Perhaps because she is running in 2016? VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #118

She had trouble raising money, not a good sign! nt Logical Feb 2015 #122

I guess the assessment of some on DU regarding Hillary being a disaster is wrong still_one Feb 2015 #7

Looks like she would win the GOP primaries in a heartbeat! djean111 Feb 2015 #8

How did you make that inference?/NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #11

its just the sour grapes talking! VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #15

Or hard drugs?/NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #18

AND or! VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #43

Are you actually accusing me of being on drugs? New low for you people. djean111 Feb 2015 #76

It's just a phrase but I apologize to you if anybody took it literally./NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #78

Oh, I don't want an apology - this is just a sterling example of why I feel djean111 Feb 2015 #81

You implied that Hillary is a Repug because she's beating a bunch of Repugs... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #85

A personal attack, accusing me of being on drugs, and then that djean111 Feb 2015 #91

Whatever DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #94

Great quote from DUer 'The Magistrate.' wyldwolf Feb 2015 #75

What positions have Bill or Hill ever held that would make him, her, or both apostates?/NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #80

None I'm aware of wyldwolf Feb 2015 #100

I don't care who the Democratic nominee is-- Kingofalldems Feb 2015 #20

That's nothing for Hillary. She once blew a 33 point lead on Obama LittleBlue Feb 2015 #31

Any port looks good in a storm./NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #40

still not enough....she is ahead by 50! VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #45

Are you of the opinion that Sanders has the political skills and resources of Obama? brooklynite Feb 2015 #98

"Are you of the opinion that Sanders has the political skills and resources of Obama?" Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #152

Fortunately for HRC, there are no Barack Obama(s) waiting in the wings. BHO made his mark in '04... Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #144

Are there any polls showing how the other progressive candidates shape up against the Rs? jwirr Feb 2015 #34

There is a pretty big electability difference on the Democratic side though. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #39

Name recognition really messes with the polls now though... cascadiance Feb 2015 #82

You can read all about it here... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #46

HRC is killing it in the TX primary because she's hugely popular with Latinos. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #73

Hopefully Robbins Feb 2015 #90

yeah Robbins Feb 2015 #47

so in other words.... VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #74

Except for one thing: she lost the race which was "her race to lose" in 2008. closeupready Feb 2015 #79

No exception...she didn't lose by 50 points! VanillaRhapsody Feb 2015 #83

Are you saying they lost because of her last year? hrmjustin Feb 2015 #89

Why did every single candidate, for whom she stumped last year, FAIL? closeupready Feb 2015 #49

Same reason the ones Warren stumped for failed. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #56

Because there has been a red tide in the past two mid-terms and popularity isn't transferable./NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #63

Even better Capt. Obvious Feb 2015 #59

Except she leads the field by fifty points now.Too bad...Too sad.../NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #69

I agree! She's the best Republican in the field! [n/t] Maedhros Feb 2015 #86

Is that why she's leading her Democratic challenger by fifty percent? DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #87

Too bad.. Too sad Capt. Obvious Feb 2015 #88

For you, I agree...You should read Elisabeth Kubler Ross' five stages of grief. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #92

Clinton LOL Capt. Obvious Feb 2015 #93

Captain Oblivious, LOL DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #95

Clinton LOL Capt. Obvious Feb 2015 #96

I troll you with love, Captain Oblivious DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #97

Not all Democrats - Maedhros Feb 2015 #101

Don't light a match next to your straw men./NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #104

Did she not vote for the IWR, and push for the bombing of Libya? Maedhros Feb 2015 #110

Joe Biden and John Kerry voted for the IWR ... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #111

To the extent that the Party supports illegal wars, pushes for bullshit trade agreements Maedhros Feb 2015 #112

That's fair I guess but I would argue she is right in the center of Democratic thought. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #113

She's to the right of Obama, who is waaaaaayyyy to Right for me. [n/t] Maedhros Feb 2015 #120

Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren are both on the same square of the political compass, ergo: DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #124

Thank you for proving my point. Maedhros Feb 2015 #126

As i said I'm in the bottom left quadrant with the Dalai Lama and Mandela DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #128

If we concede our convictions and vote for Authoritarian Rightists, Maedhros Feb 2015 #156

I applaud your idealism. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #157

There is a practical component to my stance as well. Maedhros Feb 2015 #161

Here are some interesting graphs DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #166

I understand. Maedhros Feb 2015 #167

Sick country. GeorgeGist Feb 2015 #134

There are other charts and most of the leaders in Western Europe were pretty much in the same place. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #138

Well shit. Savannahmann Feb 2015 #99

Your beef is with the Democratic party, ergo DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #103

Baloney Savannahmann Feb 2015 #193

I can't match you word for word, that would be impossible... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #200

That's not the Socratic method, and it's not even a good analogy. Savannahmann Feb 2015 #201

So we are in agreement that Hillary Clinton is in the main stream of the Democratic party? DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #202

Your process has already fallen down. Savannahmann Feb 2015 #203

K&R! Expect to be trolled BIG TIME! Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #102

Sticks and stones may break my bones but insults from random internet posters will never harm me./NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #106

+1 Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #141

Let's hope those polls hold until 10/8/16./NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #142

There are those for whom polls that they don't like tend to be dismissed as "wrong sample size"; Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #146

At least according to 691 people Cosmic Kitten Feb 2015 #105

Those polls are confirmed by other polls, ergo DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #109

All othe reputable polls show the same results. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #114

Why does a Democrat leading her Republican(t) challengers make some Democrats so upset?/NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #119

Because it puts her in a strong position and some here can not stand it. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #121

It's just the MRA brigade Capt. Obvious Feb 2015 #123

MRA? hrmjustin Feb 2015 #125

I googled MRA and this came up DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #127

Basically Male dominance garbage. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #132

I'm a a guy but it will be nice to shatter another barrier like we did with President Obama. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #136

Been trying to figure out the hatred myself. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #139

IMHO, DU is quixotic and loves an underdog. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #140

I consider myself a realist when it comes to politics. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #145

That's a realistic space to occupy./NT DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #148

Just think... OilemFirchen Feb 2015 #147

lol. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #149

BTW, He was being saracstic DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #151

Okay. OilemFirchen Feb 2015 #153

He is a very ornery fellow. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #155

GOP versus GOP lite. blkmusclmachine Feb 2015 #131

Well, if that poll should predict sadoldgirl Feb 2015 #158

No disrespect but I'm wary of anecdotal evidence. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #160

Good for you and your people sadoldgirl Feb 2015 #162

Again, in the spirit of harmony DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #165

Cute anecdote, but here's something scientific to chew on. Hope this doesn't blow up your theory. Tarheel_Dem Feb 2015 #164

She's not polling over 50% and that matters. AtomicKitten Feb 2015 #168

She's polling at 47-49% with ten or eleven percent undecided. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #169

No, it's a ceiling for her just like it was in 2008. AtomicKitten Feb 2015 #170

How can it be harder to go from forty nine to fifty than forty to fifty? DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #172

Exactly. There is no field. AtomicKitten Feb 2015 #173

This Nate Silver? DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #174

Or the Nate Silver who gives her a 75% chance of wresting the nomination DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #175

Nate, the OP polling, and I were addressing the general election. AtomicKitten Feb 2015 #176

I know you believe Hillary is a maladroit politician. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #180

LOL, 26 recs! nt Logical Feb 2015 #177

Laugh all you want, she will be our nominee. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #179

Like when she had a 30 point lead in 2008 over Obama and lost the nomination? LOL! nt Logical Feb 2015 #181

Who could beat her? hrmjustin Feb 2015 #182

We will see. She had trouble raising money in 2008 also. Not a good sign. She does....... Logical Feb 2015 #183

Lol no deep support! hrmjustin Feb 2015 #184

True, people know her, but you wait and see the money and volunteers she gets..... Logical Feb 2015 #186

I also love the no comment on losing a 30 point lead to Obama! LOL!! nt Logical Feb 2015 #187

Oh she lost and there is no denying that but 2016 is not 2008. hrmjustin Feb 2015 #188
