I don't want a Republican in the White House. Do you?

[YoungDemCA]

Right now, HRC is our best bet for keeping the White House. If there's another Democratic candidate who can win, then by all means...let them step forward. Competition is healthy in a democracy.

[liberal_at_heart]

1. I don't want a 1%er in the White House.

[YoungDemCA]

3. I reiterate

If there's another Democratic candidate who can win, then by all means...let them step forward.

[liberal_at_heart]

6. sorry, you're not going to get me to vote for someone just because they can win.

I will vote for whom best represents my values and Hillary does not represent my values.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

42. The rest of us will just have to work that much harder to find someone to replace your vote

so we can avoid the holy living hell the republicans would visit upon all living creatures.

So you can have your little "vote of conscience"...

[840high]

51. You're not alone. I'm with you.

[OKNancy]

5. LOL they are all 1%ers

even Warren

[liberal_at_heart]

10. so were the Kennedy's but at least they stood up for labor. I could vote for a Democratic

Presidential candidate that was a 1%er if they would fight for economic equality. But Hillary is not that person. She will not stand up to the banks and she will not fight for labor so she will not get my vote.

[Katashi_itto]

12. Agree.

[DCBob]

34. She will fight for our issues 100 times more than any rethug.

[upaloopa]

57. How many times from now until 2016 are you going to tell us you are not going to vote for Hillary?

If she is the candidate you don't matter in the 2016 election because you've taken yourself out of the game. So why not just quit with the "I am not going to vote for Hillary" stuff? It really is a waste of time! We need to beat the right and you aren't interested in helping us.

[Agschmid]

24. Yup.

[treestar]

11. If she is one

does that mean she can't sympathize? The Kennedys are OK.

[1StrongBlackMan]

15. What is Elizabeth Warrens net worth? ...

Name a single non-1%er that has been President.

[Agschmid]

25. It's likely that you can't.

Some people seem to forget this...

[Depaysement]

29. Harry Truman nt

[Motown_Johnny]

2. Biden could win... Richardson... others

but none will cross the Clintons.

[scarletwoman]

4. No, the thought scares the shit out of me.

But I'm also worried as hell that the Hillary campaign will screw up, and/or fail to connect with enough sane American voters. The moron voting bloc seems to grow larger year after year.

[gwheezie]

13. I would prefer we have a few dems in the running

Anything could happen in the run up to the nomination. I support Hillary but think we should have a few battle tested dems in case for whatever reason Hillary does not wind up being nominated

[scarletwoman]

16. The problem is, Dems have no bench.

"Battle-tested" or not.

[Agschmid]

27. This just isn't true.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Probably the only valid point raised by the anti-Hillary side

It does concern me there seems to be little depth in the party

[earthside]

56. Ridiculous.

If Mrs. Clinton had retired from politics there would be at least half-a-dozen, good, strong, dynamic, progressive candidates for the nomination that would win in November 2016.

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown
U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar
Gov. Hickenlooper
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren
U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders
Gov. O'Malley
Gov. Schweitzer
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro

There are plenty of new faces that could really excite the party base.

[Art_from_Ark]

64. Oh, we have a bench, all right

as sabrina1 pointed out here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026498755

But the party has apparently decided it wants Hillary, come hell or high water.

[Katashi_itto]

14. Stupid people are growing. Simple demographics and unwillingness to deal with the RW

propaganda machine. It's just a matter of time.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. Hell no.

n/t

[Autumn]

8. no I don't and I don't want some one who sides with republicans and the wealthy

over the poor and the working class.

[RealityAdvocate]

9. I don't want a DINO either. I hope she doesn't turn out to be one if she gets the nod.

Her war hawk, Wall Street friendly, anti-Union background scares me.

[99Forever]

17. I don't want a Republican from either party in the WH.

Ever. Again.

[RiverLover]

44. +1 /nt

[MissDeeds]

49. My thoughts exactly

It takes more than a "D" behind someone's name to make them a Democrat. Seems a lot of people have forgotten that.

[840high]

52. +10

[arcane1]

18. If Hillary is the only one who can beat these losers, we're in big trouble.

[bunnies]

31. THIS! nt

[Thespian2]

33. YEP!

[yardwork]

19. Totally with you on this.

[freshwest]

20. We'll learn a lot in the primary debates. HRC may fit the bill for everyone in the end. n/t

[peacebird]

21. I don't want a corporatist, monsanto loving, warmongering, DLCer in the White House...

So no, Hillary ain't my candidate

[MissDeeds]

50. Mine either

[840high]

54. I won't vote for her.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. If she's inevitable, you don't need to worry, do you.

We will have a primary process, whether or or not other "viable" candidates step forward.

I know you young folks are always in a big hurry, but she won't be the nominee until next summer, regardless.

[Starry Messenger]

23. And I don't want one picking the next Supremes.

I guess people aren't aware of some pretty serious labor attacks are coming from the USSC in the next few. There are some things that are keeping me awake at night.

If we have a window of time to even shift a few members, we need to take it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. This ^ ^ ^

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. Stop... just really...stop it.

Candidate supporters do more to harm a candidate than the candidate him/herself does.

I don't believe Hillary is the ONLY. I'm sorry. And I really don't want to see a Clinton/Bush redux. Again, sorry.

You like her. I don't. I don't think Hillary is our best shot. Again, sorry.

It is as simple as that. Enjoy campaigning, but stop the freaking bogeyman stuff already. It's goofy as hell, and it certainly won't make me a believer in something I don't believe in overnight.

[awoke_in_2003]

43. +1000. nt

[Fuddnik]

28. If Hillary is the nominee, there's no need for the repukes to nominate a candidate.

She's got it covered.

[NYC_SKP]

30. Hillary is in many ways indistinguishable from a Republican. I will not be voting for her. nt

[LiberalArkie]

32. Just because they are a 1%er does not make them bad. Win Rockefeller in Arkansas was a .0001%er

and he was very good for us. Murphy Oil in El Dorado pays for college tuition for kids that go through the local "Public" schools. The Vanderbilts, Gettys and others from years gone buy did a lot of good. It is the new rich that only benefit themselves or that create the legal systems that only benefit the greedy.

[DeSwiss]

35. I could give less than these:

[RufusTFirefly]

36. Are you trying to SCARE us into voting for Hillary? How inspiring! n/t

[upaloopa]

59. Yep you got that right. Someone is going to hold a gun to your head in the voting booth and you

better vote for Hillary.

[captainarizona]

39. Hillary 2016

Hillarys message its a woman's turn and I am a woman along with the demographics of 100,000 minority kids turning voting age every month should do it. If democratic party spends the money to register them and they have id's! This beats republican message of we are the party of angry old white men mostly rich who want to get richer at the poors expense. Reagan used to call himself reaganhood he steals from the poor to give to the rich. Sort of robin hood in reverse!

[whereisjustice]

40. You have a VERY low opinion of Democrats and especially liberals, to post this dribble

because we aren't so stupid as to accept bullshit false choice pronouncements like yours as inevitable.

Hillary has been stuffed full of Wall Street money, she's still like a pinata ready to explode with sugary treats that will end up making us all sick in the end.

I don't want Hillary in the White House - a triangulating, unprincipled, privileged, overrated, opportunistic, self-serving ego maniac who believes she is the heir apparent.

There will be challengers. They just haven't been selling off bits and pieces of their souls and the Democratic Party to Goldman Sachs for the last 7 years like Hillary has.

Christ, we can't even trust her with email and to keep her private business separate from her public obligations.

Jesus, what a sad uninspired choice that the conservadems at DNC are jamming down our throats.

[840high]

55. Amen.

[DesertDawg]

41. I like Hillary

Until so wine better comes along and/or until someone else gets the nomination.

[realFedUp]

45. Never again in my lifetime

Enuf said

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

46. I don't vote based on polls.

[PeteSelman]

47. No, that's why I'm ABH in the primary.

If she gets the nod we just have to accept that we're always going to have Republican in the White House.

We're never going to have an FDR style Democrat again. Hell, I'd take Nixon over any mainstream Denocratic candidate. Tbe Democrats are now Reaganists, the Republicans are insane.

[KMOD]

48. I have great respect for Hillary Clinton,

but it's a long road still to the nomination.

And yes, I absolutely do not want a Republican in the White House. No way, no how!

A vote for the Republicans is a vote for more war, and less equal rights.

[BlueStater]

53. If Hillary is the only candidate who can win,...

...then that sure as shit doesn't say much about the state of the Democratic party.

If a 67-year-old blue dog who's been around FOREVER is our only viable candidate, then something went horribly fucking wrong with the party in the last 20+ years. Just WOW.

[morningfog]

58. What makes you think she can win? She already lost once.

[valerief]

60. I want them all the fuck out of CONGRESS. nt

[JEB]

61. Too early in the process to throw my puny vote

to Republican lite, Wall Street, TPP etc. I hope I have a choice I like come the general.

[blackspade]

62. Why is this even a question?

[KamaAina]

63. Sure!

As long as s/he's sweeping the floors.
