Highlight:

The demands for Hillary loyalty are loud and clear on DU. [View all] JDPriestly Apr 2015 OP

Demands? I don't see demands here. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #1

Best. H Logo. Ever! KamaAina Apr 2015 #4

We got so much flack about laughing at the original logo's merrily Apr 2015 #204

Well, if you assume the H is Hillary and the arrow is meant to show where she is heading...... merrily Apr 2015 #210

LOL how the elephant's rear feet are clean off the ground! NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #73

Ah, I remember. Beowulf42 Apr 2015 #92

It's just helping the elephant over the fence. Honest! Thor_MN Apr 2015 #147

I think mine is better... truebrit71 Apr 2015 #234

Nice! KamaAina Apr 2015 #238

I see debate, demands, insults and dismissive rudeness lovemydog Apr 2015 #12

I understand what you are saying. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #14

Heheh, me too. lovemydog Apr 2015 #20

.i love it. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #21

Don't get too overworked so early on imo. Just think, this is the first week! Rex Apr 2015 #45

I was just thinking about that too Rex. lovemydog Apr 2015 #57

Well said. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #71

Or a troll from Free Republic. leftofcool Apr 2015 #132

Probably will be a troll from the RWing blogosphere. Rex Apr 2015 #160

Yes, but myself and I think you would never get testy or angry with someone who said NoJusticeNoPeace Apr 2015 #53

Well said. n/t 1StrongBlackMan Apr 2015 #29

Right. H2O Man Apr 2015 #40

This is more fun then debating who my team should take QuestionAlways Apr 2015 #67

I'd like the policies to go further left but the President does not do it alone treestar Apr 2015 #103

Me neither. OP needs to show evidence or admit lying. JaneyVee Apr 2015 #56

That's sarcasm, yes? Bkz calling anyone with concerns about Hillary a "basher" is NOT a debate. DesertDiamond Apr 2015 #196

That is one view. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #199

Shhhhh...Don't ruin their persecution fantasy. LordGlenconner Apr 2015 #201

lol. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #212

I see demands couched as false framing of the choices. Jim Lane Apr 2015 #205

I have no doubt you can point to individual examples of what you said but... hrmjustin Apr 2015 #214

I have no problem with that, but such challenges are not what the OP is about. Jim Lane Apr 2015 #232

I expect to be challenged in GD. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #233

If you don't see what the OP is about, you are being willfully blind Martin Eden Apr 2015 #219

I never said i was against a primary. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #224

Nor did I say you said that Martin Eden Apr 2015 #226

Lol. hrmjustin Apr 2015 #227

You too! Martin Eden Apr 2015 #229

I gave you a big long reply in another thread. lovemydog Apr 2015 #3

Very wise. I am strongly on one side of the dispute about Hillary. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #52

WARREN'S NOT RUNNING. Darb Apr 2015 #188

Well said and too true. Vincardog Apr 2015 #5

Get somebody to run. Kingofalldems Apr 2015 #6

Will you give Sanders a chance? hardcover Apr 2015 #129

Perhaps if he had one... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #151

Its not a demand...its just facts... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #7

57% in polling two days ago AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #22

In ONE poll....I can show you multiples....and consistency... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #23

LOL AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #26

I could also show YOU how she polls against the Republicans now... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #28

LOL AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #33

yeah...LOL indeed I AM! VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #34

That poll raises more questions than it answers onenote Apr 2015 #112

What is not disputable is the trending downward trajectory of her approval rating among Dems AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #115

I don't see that many people trying to put the kibosh on the primary process onenote Apr 2015 #116

I'm pretty useless when it comes to dissecting polls. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #117

You are right and that is why I gave you the link to RealClearPolitics VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #154

here's the trend you are in denial about AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #161

That is ONLY Gallup polls my friend... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #162

Ahhhh, yes, GALLUP!!! MADem Apr 2015 #166

Riiiiight. Your knuckleheaded kneejerk denial is impressive. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #170

Your snarling resort to personal invective is, certainly! MADem Apr 2015 #175

True, and people need to understand that. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #247

Why don't you do a teensy bit of research about assessing trends. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #168

No why don't YOU....I have done my homework... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #169

You are simply flat out incorrect. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #171

No I am not....here you go...look again.. VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #172

The poster with whom you 'argue' (I use the word loosely, it's not a fair fight, you are winning in MADem Apr 2015 #178

incorrect DrKZ Apr 2015 #194

its a trend showing historical data that contradicts VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #197

I did read the entire thread ... I could go into detail but here is a response to your poll data DrKZ Apr 2015 #252

One poll does not a trend make....but you know that VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #152

here's a trend for you AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #165

And here is one for you... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #174

Once again you need to look at the studies (not polls not the misinformation highway) DrKZ Apr 2015 #198

I think you are trying to represent that a graphed line for a trend...regardless of that direction Sheepshank Apr 2015 #186

the line graph represents the trend of numerical data over time AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #200

Her voice is uninspiring DarknessFalls Apr 2015 #37

No, not now, always. DarknessFalls Apr 2015 #55

Unfortunately, you re right. And voices matter. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #135

All women have high voices....WTF are you trying to say? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #167

They support who they are told to support. Heard mentality. too lazy to think for themselves. bowens43 Apr 2015 #65

bullshit. nt seabeyond Apr 2015 #69

Wow, too lazy to think for sufrommich Apr 2015 #74

And insulting the vast majority of Democrats who support Clinton in the Democratic Party VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #176

the only "demands" I see are that we all vote for a/the D DrDan Apr 2015 #8

All demands are counterproductive including that one. zeemike Apr 2015 #89

I should stop demanding?????????????? What have I demanded? DrDan Apr 2015 #141

the demand on "Democratic Underground" to vote for a Democrat....is "counterproductive"?? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #180

I admit that I may have demanded that no one vote "R" Sheepshank Apr 2015 #221

No I see demand as a problem. zeemike Apr 2015 #225

yeah, appearing to demand, or assuming so many demand that people stop demanding is a total turn off Sheepshank Apr 2015 #242

I make no demands that you stop anything. zeemike Apr 2015 #244

Not much interested in examples from last century. randome Apr 2015 #10

Who thinks they could win against the woman with 75% party support? VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #13

If someone else shows up who can, I'd welcome them. randome Apr 2015 #16

it is what it is... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #19

Your question is based on assumptions that, as I point out, are not yet proven to be true. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #25

Name another Democrat with 75% support...this far out VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #41

Again, while the 75% approval rate is not to be ignored or laughed at, JDPriestly Apr 2015 #46

Its VERY important....but not AS important as the FACT that she also polls VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #47

As a supporter of Hillary, I hope you are doing what you can to insure that differential lasts JDPriestly Apr 2015 #50

Yeah a warning from the guy with the Warren logo in his sig line... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #97

Not so much a warning as the voice of experience. I've watched a lot of election cycles. JDPriestly Apr 2015 #108

actually you said "warning" VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #146

The thing about such a poll number is Americans do enjoy seeing people fail HereSince1628 Apr 2015 #76

riiiiiiioght...yeah that is the perfect answer! VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #98

Where did I call her quote inevitable unquote?? HereSince1628 Apr 2015 #109

Oh I get you now...her 75% polling numbers is all because of media.... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #110

You don't do angry very well HereSince1628 Apr 2015 #111

Probably because I am not angry... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #145

To all those yapping about 75% approval ratings: semanticwikiian Apr 2015 #80
