Left concern about HRC is NOT "hatred"...it's about what we stand for as a party and a country

87. But what you are essentially saying is...

Over 80% of Democrats (including a very substantial amount of 'progressives') are wrong. You're saying this itty bitty segment of the left who lives in a bubble, of which you are a part of. are more enlightened than the rest of us. You're saying 'progressives' have the answers and no one else does. You're saying you have some sort of monopoly on what the Democratic party should or shouldn't be.

You're arrogant.

Sure, Clinton supporters are confident in the way fans of a winning team are. But what YOU are is the snide and pretentious person who believes he's above the game. BUT YOU STILL WANT TO FIELD A TEAM!

HRC's supporters actually DO NOT need to "respond with respect and attentiveness." Why? Because we have. Yet we still get looked down on. There comes a point where a dog will eventually bite the hand that keeps hitting it. But then the owner of that hand expresses shock.

The owner of that hand is you.





Hillary Clinton doesn’t have a problem with liberals. Not hardly.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has said repeatedly that she won't run for president in 2016, and yet the idea persists: That Hillary Clinton could find herself vulnerable to a more liberal primary opponent.

The problem? Almost all of the most recent data suggests that Clinton doesn't have any real problems on her left flank. Indeed, she's actually stronger with liberals than she is with more moderate Democrats. And very, very few liberals have anything but nice things to say about her.

To wit:

* A new CNN/Opinion Research poll shows that when voters are asked whether they would prefer Clinton, a more liberal alternative or a more conservative one, about twice as many non-Clinton voters say they prefer the more conservative one (20 percent) to the more liberal one (11 percent).

* A Washington Post/ABC News poll this month showed Clinton taking a bigger share of the vote in the 2016 primary among self-described liberals (72 percent) than among moderate and conservative Democrats (60 percent).

* The same poll shows 18 percent of moderate Democrats don't want Clinton to run. Just 6 percent of liberal Democrats agree.



* The WaPo-ABC poll also shows liberal Democrats approve of Clinton's tenure at the State Department by a margin of 96-1, while moderate Democrats approve of it 84-12. Sixty-seven percent of liberals strongly approve of Clinton's performance, nearly 9 in 10 say she is a strong leader, and only slightly fewer say she's honest and trustworthy.
