(284 posts)The Priebus one is exactly why I called Hillary Clinton the best get out the vote gift anyone could have given the Republican Party. She is literally the Republican Party and conservative rights antichrist.
It wasn't smart of our party running someone who would motivate their base to turn out while at the same time due to her hawkish foreign policy, coziness to the big banks, and corporatist leanings would suppress the Democratic party's turnout.
I saw a poll the other day that 67% of Bernie Sanders supporters would not vote for her if she's the nominee. Take 10,000,000 votes and that's 6.7 million democratic voters who will write in Bernie Sanders, or stay home instead of voting for Clinton. This is not counting the independents, millennials, and even republicans who would likely vote for Sanders, but will not vote for Clinton. We will not vote for the lesser of two evils anymore.
It's still not too late for the party to force her to withdraw.
