Orsino
(37,428 posts)If she's gotta be our president, let's make her be her best.

(14,255 posts)IMO she is going to go all-out Maggie Thatcher.
And - she doesn't give a rat's ass what any of us think.
Orsino
(37,428 posts)But if we ever make up our minds, even she will listen to all of us.
djean111
(14,255 posts)simmering under the surface of "How dare you question me!".
She has her corporate Wall Street owners, her Kissinger-inspired lust for killing, and her Third Way to-do list. Her huge pile of money. Really, there will be nothing we could do, except deny her a second term, and I would bet the DNC has that sewn up, too.
Orsino
(37,428 posts)If enough of us spoke as clearly and in such unison, we'd have what we want. Unfortunately, the money bamboozles us, too.
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)That's why I'll never vote for her, not with a gun to my head: it could hardly be more obvious that she doesn't give a single, solitary fuck about anyone not positioned to be of benefit to her. Her latest pragmatic decision illustrates this: the moment she deemed it unnecessary (or impossible) to woo Bernie supporters, she veered hard right and started cozying up to Bush's billionaire backers. She's an unprincipled, venal wretch...so far from being "presidential material" that only having Trump in the race even remotely makes her look suitable. She isn't.
Orsino
(37,428 posts)We have only to agree on what we want, and it will be ours.
I think that the more caretaker presidents we elect, the more inequality will continue to grow, and the more people we'll have on our side.

Hekate
(90,551 posts)My 2 y.o. used to throw the most spectacular tantrums. My little sister did those at 4. I mean all out, full body....
Both grew up into reasonable adults, though.
I'll pull out pics of my kids to compare.

JURY: The post I am responding to says, in context of Hillary Clinton: "Anyone can put a 'D' after their name, that doesn't mean their not a Republican at heart."
Hekate
(90,551 posts)Instead of rejoicing that there is some sanity left in this country you are having a temper tantrum? Are you going to hold your breath until you turn blue, and drum your heels on the floor?
That'll show them!

(90,551 posts)He and his wife are bright people who disagree with me politically. And they saw right through Sarah Palin and for them she disqualified John McCain by her presence on the ticket.
Did I mock them? Did I tell them their vote for Obama was not wanted? Did I decide Obama was not worthy based on their decisions?
What do you think?
Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)The Sanders supporters always go on about Indepdents but will allow crossover Republicans to determine how they vote. They seem to be totally ruled by emotion and not by the larger picture.

(19,803 posts)The WSJ owned by Rupert Murdock tells us that Republicans are supporting Hillary Clinton. And people go crazy jumping the sharks like in the movie Sharknado.
Charles Koch comes out and says Hillary Clinton is a great candidate when his entire life is spent trying to defeat everything she believes in and you fall for it ........you know this propaganda stuff really seems to work

loyalsister
(13,390 posts)Some people will defend anything they do based on their perception of the Clinton's as victims and hatred for the RW based on witch hunts that they have both dropped crumbs for. It's quite a scam to convince people to vote against their interests based on hating the other side.
I totally get where you're coming from and I have been hoping it would finally backfire on them. But not with the kind of destruction a Trump presidency could bring.
