32. That's what I'm telling you...

"they'll rightly show up out of fear of a GOP WH."


That's what I'm telling you. They won't show up. At least enough of them won't to potentially change the outcome of the GE because Hillary is going to be hemorrhaging moderates regardless with a Christie run...she can't lose voters on both ends...and she only has the ability to shore up one end. There is no move she has to stem losses on the moderate end. There is literally no point to choosing a "a good ol' boy governor" unless she wants to lose...they can't win her even one voter she was in danger of losing on the right-moderate end.

It's all about the anti-{DLC/3rd Way/New Democrat} left.

Where they disagree with Clinton most strenuously, it's where she's in line with the GOP and Third-Way...that's their single-issue vote. Moving the party is more important than holding the line on women or GLBTQ or taking SCOTUS for enough of them for Clinton to lose the election...and she can't keep them without moving on economics. She has to choose an economic liberal...there is no other road to victory.

None.
