136. Fine, and I will support the "people's" candidate whomever that may be if they have a chance

Sun Mar 8, 2015, 07:04 PM

Mar 2015

of winning the White House. I'm just asking the anti-Hillary crowd who that person is. All I see is criticism of HRC, I don't see anyone putting forth a candidate that will not only win the primary, but the general election as well. I'm enthralled with Elizabeth Warren, but she's not running. I've always admired Bernie Sanders, but I doubt he could win the primary, let alone the general. Same with Joe Biden; I love Joe, but can he win? I don't know enough about Jim Webb, or Martin O'Malley at this point. But if any of them win the primary, I'll support them 100%. In the meantime, noone has even announced and yet we have all this demonizing of Hillary which serves no purpose except to alienate other Democrats and give fuel to the RW.
