1. Though she would hardly need my help.

That much is embarrassingly easy, and she will do it well.

[SpareribSP]

2. Going to be interesting seeing her take.

I wonder if she's going to talk China and Russia, where Trump seems weak. She also will probably talk Israel, which will be interesting given recent stuff with Sanders.

Hopefully she talks reasonably about the middle east pushing back against the Muslim ban, that's a point that needs to be attacked. I hope this speech is uplifting rather than fear mongering, because Trump already has that market cornered. She could be a optimistic realist here and come off looking good.

3. I'm pretty sure I'll use my big human brain and wait to here what she says.

Then I'll use my big human brain and decide whether I am with her or not.

[1StrongBlackMan]

52. "Hear"

[Luminous Animal]

64. Yes. I know. I was on my stupid phone and didn't feel like changing it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

65. I here you!

[Peregrine Took]

4. I'm a 100% Berner but I will support her torching Trump. Hope she nails his ass. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. I am sure she is going to tell him alienating 1.7 billion Muslims isn't prudent.

[CentralMass]

18. The death toll in Iraq and Syria combined is approaching 1 million.

We need to get out of the regime change business.

[azurnoir]

20. yes because by killing 1 million in Iraq and her husband causing the deaths of another 500k during

food for oil debacle also in Iraq she reached and touched the hearts of many Muslims and that is why the largest Muslim community in the US supports

1. After the primaries on June 7 (California, New Jersey, etc.)...

...we will announce that the primaries are nearing an end, and members will have one more week to "get it out of their systems".

The final Democratic presidential primary is Tuesday, June 14 in Washington DC. People will have one last glorious day of primary season on June 15, and then Democratic Underground general election season begins on Thursday, June 16.

[azurnoir]

34. yep we know seems almost like you're really looking forward to the truth being forced to wear

the scolds bridle

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. I look forward to coming to a site where we agitate for our nominee and not against him or her.

[azurnoir]

38. so what does it say when pointing out a candidates past record is agitating against that candidate?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

39. Because it is a binary choice, Trump or Clinton, and denigrating one elevates the other.

[floppyboo]

40. I suppose this kind of discussion could carry on in the Foreign Affairs group

where I will go hang out again.

[azurnoir]

41. something interesting and IMO funny

a couple of weeks back I was talking to a Trump supporter member of my sons extended family - and got told that a vote for anyone but Trump was a vote for Hilary which is the mirror image of a vote for anyone but Hillary is a vote for Trump

It's only a binary choice to those who's purposes it serves to delineate it in that manner

[VulgarPoet]

43. You mean there's another substrata of people who either failed math or passed Inner Party math?

Last I checked, 0 - 0 =/= 1 just like 2 + 2 =/= 5.

[azurnoir]

44. yep

[1StrongBlackMan]

55. Come on DSB ... That's comment was just an "attempt to make HRC a stronger candidate ...

per the up-coming new rules!

[CentralMass]

63. +1

[Shadowflash]

31. ''I am sure she is going to tell him alienating 1.7 billion Muslims isn't prudent.''

And then authorize the bombing and invasion of ANOTHER Muslim country.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. Please see Post 22

Thank you in advance.

[Shadowflash]

36. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. I have been insulted by better men. I assure you I have never been insulted by worse...

[Shadowflash]

42. Haha!

With your simplistic, fall in line world view, I find that hard to believe. You probably just failed to understand it when it happened.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

49. Don't fall from the pedestal you put yourself on. You might hurt yourself.

[hamsterjill]

5. I'm with her!

n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

7. Not until I hear what she has to say.

[B Calm]

8. No, I'm not there yet. I'm still supporting Bernie. You go ahead and fall in line.

[dmosh42]

9. I'll wait and see. She might come out with another TPP idea.

[reddread]

10. not without a snazzier slogan

that sounds too much like
Gott Mit Uns
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gott_mit_uns

OMG those arrows aint helping!

[aidbo]

16. "..and that the land that I live in has God on its side"

[jzodda]

11. What is trump's foreign policy?

I listened to his speech and took very little from it except that China rapes us, Mexicans are criminals and Muslims are dangerous.

[reddread]

14. its like this

he will quietly consult with Hillary
who will consult with Henry
who will consult with Cheney
who will consult with the VRWC
and they will get back to you.

stand by.

[libdem4life]

26. This...right on.

[lumberjack_jeff]

12. My question: "Is she with me?" I won't know until I hear what she says.

Past performance on the topic of foreign policy suggests no.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

13. Will there be any mention of Libya or Honduras?

[AgingAmerican]

17. She needs to do so in a way that doesn't make her look like him

If she starts in with the "Me too!" nonsense like she did with Sanders, she will just look like an idiot.

[Lizzie Poppet]

19. Worst possible area for her to go after him over.

Sure, Trump's foreign policy performance would probably be dreadful, just given the absurd things that erupt from his pie-hole. But Clinton's record in this area is one of war, suffering, and highly questionable decisions. This could backfire on her.

[Waiting For Everyman]

21. Not with Kissinger as a mentor.

And not with a national security disaster she created, which she has lied to our faces about for a year.

24. Today is June 2nd last time I checked.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Please see Post 22

Thank you in advance.

[Waiting For Everyman]

27. So? It says nothing about June 2nd.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. Please see Post 25

Thank you in advance.

[Waiting For Everyman]

32. Please see post #24.

So funny, I forgot to laugh.

[azurnoir]

46. you have such an artful way of avoiding a question

[DemocratSinceBirth]

54. It literally isn't worth my time to fashion more of a response. Consider the paucity contempt.

[azurnoir]

56. ah so that's it

[DemocratSinceBirth]

57. IMHO, of all the virtues the greatest of all is candor. That's why some work so hard to fake it.

[azurnoir]

58. yes some do work very hard at being fake

[DemocratSinceBirth]

59. That is why I would make a lousy politician or diplomat.

[libdem4life]

29. Yes, we are well aware censorship is happening on DU.

Now, your point? Realizing that a minute number of Democrats even know this site is around. I know that's hard for the faithful here, but it's true.

[floppyboo]

48. And constructive critcism will be allowed after that date

It will be interesting to see how many alert trolls understand what that means.

[amborin]

30. Hillary represents reckless regime change

[VulgarPoet]

45. I don't go with people who waste the blood of my brothers and sisters in arms. eom

[Marr]

47. Hillary Clinton's foreign policy record is one of disastrous incompetence-- at best.

[geek tragedy]

50. checking the names of those who responded, nope no surprises nt

[pangaia]

51. I have previous plans.

[DesMoinesDem]

53. Her?

No.

[imagine2015]

60. I hope she doesn't propose invading any more nations.

[AtomicKitten]

61. On foreign policy? Hell to the no.

[Aerows]

62. With all due respect

Hillary Clinton, after Honduras and Libya, is the worst person to try to talk up her foreign policy "successes" and the "good that she wrought".

My ability to stretch reality doesn't extend that far, and I don't believe it does, either, for you DSB. Some people can turn on a dime when it is illustrated that there is rot in the core of a politician. Some people take a long time before they see it.

I respect your opinions, but I can only conclude you are in camp 1. I do know that when you meander over to camp 2, or even if you don't, I'll still be your friend.
