In reply to the discussion: O'Malley weighing 2016 White House bid [View all]People are complaining about dynasty have to really find something else they really really hate about her. Thats to the tune of... but he uses an samsung!! not a american iphone!! . Otherwise thats sum cosmetic complain you got there.
And consider if the economy isnt strong enough by 2016. We need a candidate that can hold against the republicans. And The crop of candidates i just mentioned: cuomo, warren, o'malley, sanders and maybe biden. Would be considered too liberal for most americans. And you can scream: But *insert name generic democrat* is sticking up for the working class!!! If that strategy won then McGovern,Mondale, Dukakis and kerry would of won but they didn't.
At least with the amount of appeal hillary will be getting when the female vote springs up for her in 2016 just like the black+hispanic vote did for obama 2008/2012. She'll be a much better choice. I'd rather win and get 70% of what i want then vote for somebody who represents 100% of what i want and then crash and burn in the general election. Plus hillary would have really really good coattails for the 2016 senate and house election along with winning 400+ EV's in 2016 (Add texas, missouri, west virginia, NC,SC, Georgia, Indiana and arizona).
Fellow progressives are falling into another 1972/1984/1988/2004-esque trap if they only want a candidate just because that person appeals to them then the rest of the country.
