About this...

Please support WHOEVER you want in the primary, and if Hillary wins, then please support her because if you dont, Karl Rove wins

When Hillary Clinton declined to attend the annual Netroots Nation conference in July, the most vocal outcry came not from the progressive base, but from a Republican super-PAC founded by former staffers for Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee. "Despite flying over Detroit, MI – the home of Netroots Nation 2014 – Hillary Clinton will not strategize with Democratic activists at the United States' 'largest progressive gathering' this weekend," the group wrote on its website. "Instead, she will be traveling from Connecticut to Minnesota in order to $ell her book." That condemnation was paired with a meme-ified graphic of Clinton waving goodbye to the "grassroots" as she flew by.

I was just thinking this too NightWatcher Aug 2014 #17

Kucinich didn't break ANYBODY's heart. Ken Burch Aug 2014 #18

He lead piped himself with stupid shit MohRokTah Aug 2014 #33

When did Kucinich say that? Octafish Aug 2014 #48

He was a fool. MohRokTah Aug 2014 #71

He wasn't a fool and he doesn't deserve your derision. Ken Burch Aug 2014 #73

Thanks. Octafish Aug 2014 #81

Fortunately, we will never know what sort of president Kucinich would be. eom MohRokTah Aug 2014 #83

Quite true. Laelth Aug 2014 #25

I backed Denny Kooch in the primaries. riqster Aug 2014 #31

I backed Jesse Jackson in the 1988 Georgia primary. Laelth Aug 2014 #38

That is how the primaries should operate. riqster Aug 2014 #42

Here's the thing. Laelth Aug 2014 #47

In principle, given a fair and honest contest, I agree. riqster Aug 2014 #51

For good reason. nt LWolf Aug 2014 #110

This seems to be a hypothetical question in the OP Go Vols Aug 2014 #21

In all fairness, you seem to be quite concerned ... Laelth Aug 2014 #43

I didn't say it was irrelevant BainsBane Aug 2014 #85

Not gonna happen. 6000eliot Aug 2014 #19

Again with BS polls Waren said she wasn't running I believe her... Historic NY Aug 2014 #22

This is an easy one. Enthusiast Aug 2014 #23

Agreed. n/t Laelth Aug 2014 #107

k&r for Elizabeth Warren. n/t Laelth Aug 2014 #24

Honestly, I would flip a coin and then fully support the primary winner. wandy Aug 2014 #29

I'd vote for Warren but Hillary would win here in TX - TBF Aug 2014 #32

It's 2014, not 2016. tridim Aug 2014 #37

Agreed! doxydad Aug 2014 #40

So why not ignore this hypothetical poll Union Scribe Aug 2014 #75

Because it is posted to divide Democrats. tridim Aug 2014 #76

HRC - I'm not falling for that again rock Aug 2014 #35

HEY! Warren ain't running! doxydad Aug 2014 #39

The question is pretty DiverDave Aug 2014 #49

Again.... doxydad Aug 2014 #62

So we're only allowed one candidate, for fear of the TeapubliKKKans? Fuck that noise. n/t winter is coming Aug 2014 #64

Did not say that. doxydad Aug 2014 #79

Okay, so which candidates *are* people allowed to speculate on without "dividing the Dems"? winter is coming Aug 2014 #103

Nobody will change my mind. DiverDave Aug 2014 #77

Well, if she's not running she won't be on a ballot, will she? CTyankee Aug 2014 #108

Meaningless? Laelth Aug 2014 #57

Just posting my opinion. MineralMan Aug 2014 #59

Only REAL polls are meaningless at this point. DU polls carry actual electoral implications wyldwolf Aug 2014 #60
