Regardless of your opinion of HRC, anyone here actually want to see Rand Paul win in a head to head?

[woo me with science]

25. I think the Third Way does.

I think that's what all this is about...setting him up to win. Let's not forget who we are dealing with and what the Third Way IS.

It is a deliberate infiltration of the party by the very same corporatists that already own the Republican Party. They have no investment in Democratic principles. Their goal is and always has been to further the corporate agenda of those who fund them, and they will use both parties to advance it.

Running Rand Paul to the left of Hillary Clinton is a corporate wet dream.

It kills two birds with one stone. It not only ensures continuation of the corporate agenda (since either candidate would implement it).....But it also could give the illusion to a large group of cynical and disgusted people that something radically different was being offered. It could dupe a whole lot of people into remaining passive about what is being done to us for one more election cycle....by making them believe, one more time, that merely voting is going to be enough.

Gonna repost my final paragraph of the post in that thread:

So corporate Democrats will threaten and bully that we must support Hillary in order to avoid Paul, and they will claim to be vindicated when Paul is a disaster for human beings. But the truth is that The PTB will pursue their agenda under either one of them. Hillary's ostentatiously Third Way/neocon/neolib campaign is designed and backed by corporatists to enable or even ensure the coming of Paul and the continuation of the corporate takeover of this nation.

They're the same people. They work for the same people. As Jimmy Carter said, "America no longer has a functioning democracy."
