Some people are obsessed with HRC

36. And what would be the point of defining ONLY certain people acceptable and others unacceptable...

Before ANYONE has even declared that they're going to run? What's the point of making mere unsubstantiated presumptions about this no-existent candidacies?

"Oooo, I'm only going to vote for such-and-such and so-and-so can go to hell!" Right. That's smart thinking.

We have no idea what the field is going to look like just yet, and if we do stand a chance of keeping the White House, it stands reason to wait and balance the alternatives at the right time.

It doesn't matter to me if Hillary is going to run or not. I haven't even had the opportunity to hear from her if she will and what case she'd make to run, if she so chooses. I haven't yet had the chance to weigh her case against any of her opponents... Because no one has yet declared.

If she does decide to run and if she ends up being the nominee, she's going to be THE Democratic candidate, will she not? At that point, the time for petty bickering is over.

The important thing is to win in November.

If has some particular stance on an issue that would seem problematic on the outset, there's nothing stopping any of us (as a group to make our voices heard about it), even during the general campaign. If selected, she would be vying for the most votes, not just ours but everyone's. Our competing voices would have to be loud enough to be here. Disengagement at that time would be counter-productive.

Something like that is an ongoing process, even were she would to serve a term as our elected President. It pays to STAY engaged throughout the entire process.

If anything, our unwillingness to stay engaged and our voices always heard has been our shortcoming. How President Obama was abandoned by his own party should be a testament to THAT disgrace.

You're going to have to dance with who brung ya, one way or the other. That's how politics works.
