The Primary Process is already over.....even before it has begun. [View all] mylye2222 Nov 2014 OP

That's called an "assumptive close" sales technique Electric Monk Nov 2014 #1

Nah. That's just wishful thinking. djean111 Nov 2014 #2

Not declaring....FACING FACTS VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #3

Of course I do want to win. mylye2222 Nov 2014 #6

then now is not the time to try to draw to an inside straight. VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #7

So - do you think we should just not have primaries, and anoint Hillary right now? djean111 Nov 2014 #8

NO I am saying...SHE is the front-runner...for now SHE is the candidate to beat.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #9

So you are declaring her the winner before the primaries begin, hoping that no one will djean111 Nov 2014 #10

Kick to you djean111 mylye2222 Nov 2014 #11

I am declaring her our best chance to keep a Republican OUT of the Whitehouse in 2016! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #14

Good for you, but that does not mean that others cannot prefer someone else, and it does not mean djean111 Nov 2014 #15

they can "prefer" all they want...but they don't stand the chance..... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #17

Can you answer my question - do you think we should just skip the primaries? djean111 Nov 2014 #19

The Primary will happen....but Hillary is the very likely winner.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #20

Then - I should think you could relax and stop with the constant jeers and djean111 Nov 2014 #22

Why not...I SUPPORT the winner! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #23

No, We do not NEED Hillary Clinton. pangaia Nov 2014 #30

YES we do....WE NEED to win....and she has the evidence to show she can beat them all VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #33

We need a WINNER. pangaia Nov 2014 #36

Nice chart. pangaia Nov 2014 #50

HEE HEE,,,, pangaia Nov 2014 #69

Its copy and paste of her entire record summarized...DUH! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #70

Have you ever met Clinton? pangaia Nov 2014 #72

and? You ever slept on her sofabed? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #74

I didn't ask if you slept on her sofa, for pete's sake. pangaia Nov 2014 #76

because what you said made no fucking sense.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #77

fucking sense? pangaia Nov 2014 #79

why not? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #88

I've told this part of this story here at DU before. pangaia Nov 2014 #111

and how does that even fucking matter... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #201

AARGGGHH!! pangaia Nov 2014 #293

The list is a scam, it gives points no matter what position is taken TheKentuckian Nov 2014 #303

Only Hillary can cave us davidpdx Nov 2014 #116

The big question are mylye2222 Nov 2014 #25

because Independents think they are in charge of the Democratic party on DU! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #34

So tell me.. mylye2222 Nov 2014 #39

I am okay with Democrats winning the next election.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #42

Well we will not niw if she is the best mylye2222 Nov 2014 #48

We do know... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #56

The BEST requires at least 2. pangaia Nov 2014 #295

Then you really don't undersrand US politics. Scootaloo Nov 2014 #58

Yes I really do.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #60

No, I'm not; 54% of them stay home on election days Scootaloo Nov 2014 #66

You are also not like the other 46% either.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #67

And kinda bossy. bravenak Nov 2014 #73

and that sounds kinda sexist.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #75

Yes I do. bravenak Nov 2014 #80

Yeah...I am sure you do... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #81

Did I call you a Bitch? bravenak Nov 2014 #84

did I say you did? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #89

Umm hmmm. bravenak Nov 2014 #94

Yes it IS sexist....for the very reasons I laid out... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #95

You are wrong. bravenak Nov 2014 #96

No I am right as rain... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #97

You are not being assertive. bravenak Nov 2014 #99

and yet you still used that word.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #101

I can decide for myself which words apply. bravenak Nov 2014 #103

that is the definition all right.....BUT usage is normally to belittle women....FACT! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #104

Yeah. Maybe in your eyes. bravenak Nov 2014 #106

Mine and those that contributed to that Guardian article.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #107

They weren't here for this one. bravenak Nov 2014 #108

I was..... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #109

You proved nothing except that you are overbearing. bravenak Nov 2014 #112

Nice backpedal! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #114

I don't care what thing you brought up so that you could later 'prove' it existed. bravenak Nov 2014 #122

of course YOU don't....I hope you learned something from the experience... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #123

To you. bravenak Nov 2014 #126

to everyone....it is a derogatory term used to demean women...it is almost never used against men VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #130

Except I call dudes bossy whenever they are. bravenak Nov 2014 #134

riooght....I soooo believe you.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #135

Are you demanding something of me? bravenak Nov 2014 #136

Just stating the facts Ma'm VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #137

So you decide how a black woman needs to speak? bravenak Nov 2014 #138

did I say something that had anything to do with race? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #139

Yes. I am trying to say something. bravenak Nov 2014 #141

then don't use sexist terms...and you won't get that pointed out to you.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #142

Your sex had nothing to do with what I said, but you brought it up. bravenak Nov 2014 #144

Yes it did and I had 2 articles to prove it...one from Time even Said "even if you are a woman" VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #147

You a faking sexism to win an argument. bravenak Nov 2014 #154

Not faking....pointing out the obvious....you are just busy denying what I said was true.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #156

I pointed out what you were doing. bravenak Nov 2014 #158

No you didn't you used a sexist slur and refused to withdraw it....even in light of evidence to VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #161

Tell yourself whatever makes yourself feel good about yourself. bravenak Nov 2014 #172

I didnt have to tell myself, obviously I already knew it...I told you.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #174

Your opinion articles? bravenak Nov 2014 #175

Opinion articles in Time and the Guardian? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #176

That doesn't make the opinion that saying the word bossy is sexist, fact. bravenak Nov 2014 #178

Michelle Obama seems to think so.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #179

I do not care what someone else thinks. bravenak Nov 2014 #181

and if a racist said that.....would you be impressed with the response? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #182

You have already corrected my speech like a slave today, so... bravenak Nov 2014 #183

No I corrected a sexist term you used..... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #184

I love white ladies correcting me all the time. bravenak Nov 2014 #185

this has nothing to do with your race or mine.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #186

They never ever realize how rude and insulting it is for us to be told what words we are allowed to bravenak Nov 2014 #188

do you think Condoleeza Rice, Michelle Obama and Beyonce are trying to be rude and insulting VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #189

No. You are using them to try to get to me emotionally because they are black. bravenak Nov 2014 #190

Nope....but you are still in denial.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #191

Sorry. Don't agree. bravenak Nov 2014 #192

Of course you don't....that is what a sexist would say....and I don't think you ARE one...but... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #193

I have had racists tell me what words to use. bravenak Nov 2014 #194

and I have had sexists do the same.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #195

Funny I don't care what words YOU use. You are more concerned about my word usage. bravenak Nov 2014 #196

oh....now it becomes "bully" VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #200

You are a bully. bravenak Nov 2014 #202

And you use sexist terms! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #204

And you are overbearing and attack and bully people who don't agree with you. bravenak Nov 2014 #207

Yeah that is what people say when they get proven wrong. VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #208

Poor you. bravenak Nov 2014 #211

No poor you..... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #212

There, there. You'll feel better soon.. bravenak Nov 2014 #214

I didnt use force....unless you call supporting evidence as force... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #215

Sure... bravenak Nov 2014 #217

Nope just being right..... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #221

You wish. bravenak Nov 2014 #225

I know...and I proved it... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #228

You are too funny!!! bravenak Nov 2014 #230

Happily right....and happily have Michelle Obama agreeing with me... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #231

Still laughing. bravenak Nov 2014 #233

Do what you want....but if you don't want to be associated with sexism.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #234

Then you need to watch the way you tell black women what words they are allowed to use. bravenak Nov 2014 #235

Your race had nothing to do with it....I keep telling you that.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #236

I don't believe you now. bravenak Nov 2014 #237

I definitely would if they called a woman that term.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #239

And I won't let you off the hook either. bravenak Nov 2014 #240

You definitely would....you must not know my reputation.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #241

I am wondering why you are so worried about my use of that word. bravenak Nov 2014 #242

why backwoodsbob Nov 2014 #305

again...do I have to find poor women to make you a believer? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #223

I am a poor woman. bravenak Nov 2014 #226

there is no winner or loser...just right or wrong...or are you the ONLY poor woman in the world? VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #227

The term is not sexist coming from me to you. bravenak Nov 2014 #205

Its not JUST coming from me..... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #206

You make demands where others make requests. bravenak Nov 2014 #209

No...I pointed it out...YOU refused to retract it no matter how much support I found VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #246

No retraction for truth. bravenak Nov 2014 #247

I didn't even know you were a woman until you called me a sexist. bravenak Nov 2014 #257

and THAT proves my point! VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #258

You could have been a bossy man. bravenak Nov 2014 #259

Yeah right....sure...sure....makes perfect sense... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #260

A bossy one. bravenak Nov 2014 #261

Don't know that for sure. bravenak Nov 2014 #263

but we know someone is.... VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #264

You just tried to boss me out of using the word bossy. bravenak Nov 2014 #265

You proved nothing except that some people agree with you. bravenak Nov 2014 #267

an actual campaign against using the term...particularly against women VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #268

There is a campaign against weed. bravenak Nov 2014 #269

I don't care. bravenak Nov 2014 #273

You should post a thread about bossy then and get a bunch of people to agree with you more. bravenak Nov 2014 #279

I don't have to...I have this VanillaRhapsody Nov 2014 #280
