In reply to the discussion: I'd prefer to see Elizabeth Warren as our next president. But if Hillary Clinton [View all]Arkansas Granny
(31,515 posts)15. I supported Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries, but when the nominee was chosen,
I had no problem supporting and voting for President Obama. I don't know if Sec. Clinton will run in 2016 or not, but, in the end, I will support the Democratic candidate for President. The way I see it, any Democrat will be better than any Republican.

When you encourage someone to run, that's an endorsement. You can pretend it isn't, but it is.
