Explain how Clinton is going to get that faction to vote for her if she is the nominee (especially with Trump who can run to the left of Clinton)?

(833 posts)This is exactly why some of Sanders supporter's are crossing the line.
Obama in general is slight 'right' of Clinton.
Sander's supporters, by now, should stop fighting and vote for Clinton if you voted for
Obama.
I believe Sander's supporters are buying too much of Right wing smear over the last 20 years.

So exactly how is Obama to the right of Clinton on War? Though since Clinton is not running against Obama what does it really matter?

Either Sanders people are easily led by the Right Wing Noise Machine or they are Right Wing trolls stirring the pot.
There are only a handful of Sanders supporters who are against Clinton for reasons related to her policies. That I can respect, but the rest? Nope.
I like Bernie, I voted for Bernie, but Bernie's "supporters" have turned me right off.

(14,255 posts)Hillary's predilection for war is well-documented. Or is this just another shining example of how inconvenient facts are "right-wing smears"?
Both Obama and Hillary are Third Way politicians. I believe Hillary would start dismantling Social Security and Medicare immediately, if she took office. A little cut here, and little means-testing there, and voila! Third Way Hillary finishes up what Bill started, in service to them.
