(68,644 posts)It's really not worth it, losing the SCOTUS and the whitehouse just to support her whatever it is she's supposed to be able to do.
Oh, win, that's it. She has money and can win, they say, so I should support her.

(27,247 posts)but in Arkansas, my vote means little in Presidential elections. Since 1980 it's always been 60-40 for Republicans, except when a certain Southern governor was running. I could have cast 10,000 votes for Carter in 1980, or Mondale in 1984, and they still would have lost the state by a wide margin.

(13,096 posts)Any democrat will be attacked in full force. That is the same thing said in 2008. And look how Obama was attacked. They just make sh** up it does not matter who is running.

(416 posts)They don't want Hillary to run. She's vetted - and still very electable.
Also, people have fond memories of the economy during the last Clinton presidency which is a huge asset.

(25,406 posts)And you respect the GOP's opinion so much that you are worried that they are correct in this?
By and large, would you say that the GOP is correct more often than not? Hint: in 1992 they wanted Bill Clinton to be the Democratic candidate, as they were confident of beating that womanising, failed governor of a small state.

(59,147 posts)You don't think they won't unite behind any Democratic nominee?
Please give us an example. This ought to be really fun.

(15,805 posts)her candidacy, your predictions are on a par with the GOP prognosticators who deny global warming exists and are still pushing a half century of failed trickle-down economics, none of which offers any valuable insights to Democratic voters.

(31,849 posts)Sanders or Warren or O'Malley candidacy?
TheCowsCameHome
(40,270 posts)She's the target du jour. That and the fact no one else on the left has announced their candidacy.
What else would they be expected to do? Donate to her campaign?

(20,043 posts)Obama or Hillary. But don't kid yourself, it's not because they think they can (or could in Obama's case) beat them, it's because they're scared of them.
They were scared shitless of Obama, and they've always been scared of Hillary.
That's why they've started attacking her already. Chickenshit assholes.

asiliveandbreathe
(8,203 posts)they have been united against any Democratic candidate for years...ALL of the CLOWNS....go ahead - vote third way...
Hillary Rodham Clinton knows full well the fear mongering - hate and viscious and vile rhetoric coming her way....
Do you think for one moment the Democratic machine assembled to keep a Dem in the WH isn't ready? - Take a gander - it reads like a who's who in the Democratic sphere......
Me, love Liz - my hometown gal - BUT SHE IS NOT RUNNING...Bernie - love the man - CAN't win....
The republicons DO NOT HAVE A STRONG candidate....NO - they do NOT wish to go up against HILLARY! - Wait 'til you see who she is choosing for VP......you really think it will be someone insignificant????? I say - buckle up - this is going to get rough - but fun!
Binkie The Clown
(7,911 posts)third party has exactly zero chance of winning, and a vote for a third party candidate is numerically identical to a vote for whatever Republican is running. I don't have to be in love with whatever Democrat that runs to know that the worst Democrat on the ticket is always better than the best Republican on the ticket.
So I refuse to give the Republican candidate a single lost Democratic vote.
