In reply to the discussion: Who will choose our 2016 nominee? [View all]Beacool
(30,253 posts)64. Did it ever occur to any of you Warren supporters that maybe Hillary is the one Democrat
that most other Democrats actually want to be the nominee? Why insist that it's all some kind of conspiracy by TPTB?
There is such a thing as a primary season. People can actually go out and vote for any of the candidates that will be in the running.

Obama will back either Clinton or Biden and that has nothing to do with "corporatism"
