So you must like how things have gone the past 20 years. MannyGoldstein Apr 2015 #2

You should never presume to know my opinion sir. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #4

I can't think of any other scenario that makes sense? MannyGoldstein Apr 2015 #5

Compared to what? What it might have been under complete GOP rule? nt kelliekat44 Apr 2015 #165

I don't agree, I am 'of our party' and I am waiting for a more progressive candidate to announce. sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #8

The polls say that she is ahead. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #9

Behind several Republicans in some battleground states MannyGoldstein Apr 2015 #11

And next week she will be back ahead after the announcement. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #13

And what if she is not? zeemike Apr 2015 #34

Then the opposition to Hillary in our party needs to stop complaining and put up someone. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #37

I expect they will. zeemike Apr 2015 #50

Warren could beat her but she will not run. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #53

Not if he is a stalking horse. zeemike Apr 2015 #54

We disagree on that. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #56

That is not what a stalking horse does. zeemike Apr 2015 #58

i am sorry, your right. I think Sanders will run and be her strongest challenger but won't win. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #64

That's where you are wrong. Smithryee Apr 2015 #79

I doubt it. She will answer your questions when she is a candidate. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #101

Yep that too. zeemike Apr 2015 #96

as the person wanting the job, it is her job to offer more then ops DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #74

She will answer per the consensus of over 200 campaign advisors and merrily Apr 2015 #80

lol, Hillary is the world's expert at not answering tough questions. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #97

No she can't. Once she is a candidate she has to answer. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #100

we must be doing somethign right DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #103

Are you saying she needs her husband to explain things? she can't do it herself? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #106

well, she can prove me wrong DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #108

That is a dodge. You made a comment that she will need her husband toexplain things for her. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #110

well, how is that not true? DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #118

So are you saying she can't do this by herself? hrmjustin Apr 2015 #121

I am saying I have not seen her do it DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #168

For your information Hillary is a highly intelligent woman and got to her position hrmjustin Apr 2015 #169

first off DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #170

I doubt we will be comrades. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #171

you do not think DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #172

I wasn't talking about everyone else who does not support her. i was talking about you. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #173

fair enough DonCoquixote Apr 2015 #174

That is fine but after your comments I doubt we will be comrades. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #175

What other Dems have announced they are running, or indicated they are running. And will she refuse sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #14

This message was self-deleted by its author hrmjustin Apr 2015 #15

Asking you what other Dems are running is talking down to you? You said 'she is ahead in the polls' sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #16

i read it wrong. i will self delete and answer your question. my apologies. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #18

You can't beat Hillary with ops. If you don't want her then get a candidate to run. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #19

Do you know where we might find a billion dollars for another candidate? Would Wall St fund eg, sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #20

Excuses! If they were the nominee they would have to take money from Wall Street to win. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #21

Even Obama took money from JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, etc. joshcryer Apr 2015 #31

Agreed! I love how it is Hillary's fault that she can raise a lot of money. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #33

Why do you think Wall St loves her so much? Do you think Wall St would give Warren so much money? sabrina 1 Apr 2015 #59

And I "love it" that those who support her seem to LOVE a system that has money determine who runs.. cascadiance Apr 2015 #142

You should not presume to know my opinion. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #143

Well Hillary seems to thrive in this system and doesn't want to take it down at all... cascadiance Apr 2015 #145

Realistically to change the system you will need a constitutional amendment. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #148

"Even Obama" LOL! merrily Apr 2015 #81

Obama got far more from millions of small contributors mylye2222 Apr 2015 #86

Thanks to Republicans and corporate Democrats that have corrupted it! cascadiance Apr 2015 #153

Well i wish you well with your candidate. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #154

His chances improved, but he was still a long shot going into the fall which is where it started to davidpdx Apr 2015 #161

The JJD was the start of his rise in the Iowa polls. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #162

It was clear by the summer of 2007. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #128

Uh... NO, it wasn't. Not until this time a year later in that election... cascadiance Apr 2015 #131

You are looking at national polls. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #132

Yes he did, but Iowa is one state davidpdx Apr 2015 #163

Iowa is the state that starts people off. it was a big moment. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #164

Warren is not running. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #136

If it won't happen why do you all continue to note this? cascadiance Apr 2015 #138

I note this because Warren has pointed this out countless times. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #139

And the press keeps hounding her for an answer... cascadiance Apr 2015 #140

Warren is still not running. if she did run it would be competitive race but... hrmjustin Apr 2015 #141

Somewhat accurate characterization. joshcryer Apr 2015 #12
