(84,711 posts)Where is the "back up" if Hillary develops health problems within the next two years or just before the election. By declaring her the "Inevitable and Only Candidate" (and the massive amount of money she already has from Wall Street Backers) there isn't an ability for anyone else to be considered viable to start up a campaign if she is already considered the only nominee who can win for Democrats.
If there is no Primary what does that say about the Democratic Party? Where is the Diversity that our Party stands for? The Repubs have a whole stable of candidates vying but even with the Repubs it seems that Jeb may be the presumptive candidate.
What does it mean for our Country going forward that we now just skip the Presidential Primaries giving up the opportunity for differing policy views to be heard and viewed by the voters--all because of the maniacal drive by Mainstream Corporate Media and Wall Street/MIC two present the only TWO Candidates who (in their view) have a chance of winning for their interests?
And, how can we continuously preach to the world about Freedom & Democracy when we can only find Two Candidates who can raise enough money to run for the Presidency of the USA?
