You won't see Hillary Clinton in the same light ever again

252. There is no one willing to commit political suicide in the Dem party or who can raise a billion

dollars, start from ground zero with name recognition (Warren isn't running), wither the competition with national and international experience, ace debates, who have had their dirty laundry vetted/cleaned, dried and hung up in the closet....and kick butt and take names.

As to this fixation on hating corporations...Big Business...Dirty Money...time to grow up. First of all, it takes money to be a real Democrat and do what we want to do in America. Let the Republicans have all the small business supporters they just left off at the Tea Party cleaners. It's just a whimsical dream that one can raise a billion dollars for a national campaign who hasn't declared and has no name recognition/national base. We will see them ultimately, but no one of the stature to believe they can win. Maybe to get a cabinet position, run for state office or whatever.

What is it about 21st Century reality that's missing here, other than what is becoming near rampant sexism about the uppity number one woman in national politics and international renown...Streep was right. She is committed, qualified, seasoned, and can kick Republican butt and take names.

Personally, I didn't want either Obama or Hillary way back when as I'm far left of them, but I can keep my integrity and also see reality and that does not include 8 more years of Republican attempts to accomplish what they set out to do 6 years ago...anything to get the Black Guy and The Feminist...and the next 8 years of them basiclly negotiating with their own Tea Party and gutting the rest of the country. If we really believe the Republicans are on the ropes now, and if we proceed with intelligence, we can help that process along as well as our Party. If we capitulate, get caught up in a brutal internecine war and fail to nominate the only candidate that keeps them up nights, we blinked and caved.

My vote in the Primary is open until voting day. I won't give one vote, dollar or an hour of my time for any Democrat, however comfy I am or am not with the totality of their positions, who has no chance of leading the party and the country for the next 8 years. Then it's a Straight Ticket.
