I support Hillary, but Bill Mahar is right.

[RandySF]

The more the public sees of Hillary between now and mid-2015, the quicker she may wear out her welcome before November, 2016. She should just cool it a bit, rest, strategize and make the rounds when the time is right.

[BillZBubb]

1. No, she needs to do everything she can...

between now and November to support Democratic candidates. She should be out there all the time promoting the Democrat's ideas. What she needs to avoid is making it about her and 2016.

She is needed this year to help the party in the midterms.

[Cha]

2. I agree.. that's would she should be doing. Took the words right out of my keyboard, BillZBubb

[freshwest]

7. Correct! That is what she is doing, along with Bill and Elizabeth Warren. We can't wait until 2016

We must GOTV this year! Boehner's just handed out $30 million from his paymasters to go after Democrats in the states to get that GOP majority. If that doesn't outrage anyone enought to take action now, they should be checked for brain wave function.

3. If I saw her busting her ass trying to get Democrats elected to congress in 2014

instead of flitting around the country on a campaign junket disguised as a book tour, or giving speeches to fat cat bankers at $250k a pop, or on every TV fake news show there is talking about how poor she is, I wouldn't mind seeing a lot more of her.

But if all she's gonna do is more of the same crap she's been doing, then I've already seen too much of her.

13. Wait for it.

If she runs she'll be at the forefront of the 2014 races. I consider her support for Wendy Davis (who is center-right) the metric or goalpost at which we know for absolute certain she's running. If she spends only but a few days campaigning for Davis, Hillary Clinton is running for President. You heard it here first.

4. I sort of agree and I sort of wonder

if the campaign is getting potential rough spots out there and dealt with prior to the actual campaign. ?? I would like her to take a rest. I agree that the current schedule will make me tired of her eventually. How is that for being double minded??!!

[Cha]

5. Kick!

[Thinkingabout]

6. Bill Clinton came out in February with an endorsement of Grimes. The Big Dog knows how

To get votes for his candidates.

[progressoid]

8. I'm not really a Hillary supporter but I understand why she's doing it.

She has to stay in the media spotlight. Just like she had to say the Bible was her favorite book. Gotta play the game.

[merrily]

10. In 2008, I assumed several things were about Obama only

"playing the game," too. And I disregarded them totally for that reason. I have since decided never to do that again.

A candidate who says something needs to be willing for Democrats as well as for Republicans to take the candidate at his or her word (to use the term Hillary used for Obama back then).

Hillary says the Bible is her favorite book, that tells me something (even if she is faking it, as Maher claims). So does her association with The Family while she was a Senator. That Bill Maher waves something away doesn't make it so. And even if she is faking it, that tells me something, too.

When choosing a candidate, about all we can rely on is what they say--and even then...... Hillary is either speaking her own truth about herself or being willing to tell any lie to get elected and being willing to pander to conservatives more than to liberals--and maybe neither of those things will end on election day. Either way....

9. Maher is a sexist boob

Hillary is doing fine.

[merrily]

11. Ah, I see. Even people trying to have her back, but not doing that

exactly as you would like, are sexist.

Pulling out the gender card willy nilly is not helpful to women, including Hillary, or to society as a whole.

[joshcryer]

12. He's wrong. She needs to continually "trial balloon."

Every thing that doesn't work, she can pass it off. Stuff that works, she can use. And that's what she's doing.

[Erose999]

14. "Playing the game" is what got us the Hobby Lobby decision. Had single payer not been tossed out

before even beginning the process of HCR, we'd have had a stronger policy. Its time for a leader who isn't afraid to admit they're secular.
