"If she were to get nominated, if she were to get elected, I have a hunch that what runs in the family, is you get a little practical if you ever get the job."

Gee. Why should we be concerned that Hillary's position on environmental issues might be compromised by contributions?

Long story short, Bernies Independent supporters will never vote for Hillary. Big surprise, I know.

This election year is about two radically different, diametrically opposed, theories of politics. For many, this election is about core values. Nothing cosmetic in that.

A substantial percentage of Bernie voters will not violate their core convictions by voting for Hillary.

Who Would Paul Wellstone Vote For?

Who represents the heart and soul of the Democratic Party? Hillary or Bernie?

Are Rahm Emmanuel and DWS the future of the Democratic Party? Is that that we are fighting for?

Help me understand why you are voting for Hillary. Do you believe endless war in the Middle East will bring world peace? Are corporate contributions the key to progressive change? Will Hillary attract Independent voters who lean Dem? Will Hillary govern as a Third Way Dem or will she side with the Progressive Caucus?
