Highlight:

If you don't like HRC don't vote for her. seriously, nobody is going to beg you [View all] arely staircase Apr 2015 OP

People should vote as they choose. Always. MineralMan Apr 2015 #1

K&R for your response here. We can't have a GOP POTUS, period. Wish I had your confidence on that.nt freshwest Apr 2015 #49

Not confidence. Just hope driven by desperation. MineralMan Apr 2015 #55

Agreed, we're living a Koch poisoned media atmosphere. It takes its toll. n/t freshwest Apr 2015 #61

A vigorous primary often means a STRONGER candidate in the general. Not weaker. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #158

Uh, I'm in favor of a strong primary. MineralMan Apr 2015 #160

Good. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #161

See, here's the thing: MineralMan Apr 2015 #162

You have zero influence? Shit, i dont. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #163

By the time the presidential primaries come to my state, Art_from_Ark Apr 2015 #175

Oh, my primary -vote- doesn't carry a ton of weight, either. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #179

"The alternative is unthinkable." workinclasszero Apr 2015 #83

2007 called. It wants it's OP back. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #2

If somebody else wins the primary, I'll be voting for him/her. MoonRiver Apr 2015 #4

Fantastic. What state is this Some One person from? Thor_MN Apr 2015 #5

In 2007, Obama announced only in February, but won the damned thing! NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #8

Yes, he was. greatauntoftriplets Apr 2015 #16

I will correct my OP. I'd checked and a CNN article dated May 2 came up. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #20

You're welcome. greatauntoftriplets Apr 2015 #28

This time around, Sanders DIDN'T announce in February...neither did Warren brooklynite Apr 2015 #66

the 2007 announcement was only a formality, he already had an organization going and everyone knew JI7 Apr 2015 #140

So in essense, the argument to support Hillary in the primaries is "you have no other choice" Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #159

Those are your words, not mine. Thor_MN Apr 2015 #167

Apparently, you should talk to the people you're presumably railing against, then. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #168

Well, you were the one that was railing to me, so... Thor_MN Apr 2015 #169

And every time you think you're being clever with that "someone else" shtick Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #170

What's the problem? Since you are not one of the people that you believe I'm railing against, Thor_MN Apr 2015 #171

I'd need to see the "right wing attacks" in question, before I would agree with that assessment Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #172

How, precisely, did you decide that my "POWERFUL MESSAGE" is no other choice? Thor_MN Apr 2015 #173

I'm gonna do what you did, in your post here. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #178

I can speak for myself and it is damn impudent for you to think you can (incorrectly) summarize Thor_MN Apr 2015 #180

Oh, my, I've been "impudent". Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #181

No, you have conflated what I have said with what you would like to think I said. Thor_MN Apr 2015 #184

"I'm not sure why you want to defend Right Wing Trolls" - straw man. Warren DeMontague Apr 2015 #185

"she is just walking away with because WE Democrats WANT HER!!!" darkangel218 Apr 2015 #48

Yes, WE Democrats... brooklynite Apr 2015 #70

Not all WE Democrats or WE Durs support her. darkangel218 Apr 2015 #71

Not all those opposed to her here ARE Democrats... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #78

Not all those who support her ARE Democrats... cui bono Apr 2015 #121

I think that when we get a few other Democrats campaigning Hillary's poll Autumn Apr 2015 #74

Why...she had those numbers before SHE announced... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2015 #80

So she's polling to win a primary in which she is the only candidate. cui bono Apr 2015 #119

The names of other prospective candidates have always been included in polling... brooklynite Apr 2015 #143

Still no officially declared and signed-up candidates, are there? Other than HRC? pnwmom Apr 2015 #84

Exactly! its too early to say shes walking away with the nomination! darkangel218 Apr 2015 #86

Excuse me? You are putting words in my mouth. Taylorz Apr 2015 #76

Exactly. Well said. cui bono Apr 2015 #122

You don't have to be an HRC supporter to be a Democrat. Ken Burch Apr 2015 #87

"walking away"? You have decided it already? nt Logical Apr 2015 #130

No, you shouldn't be called a Naderite. You should be called a Republican. tritsofme Apr 2015 #98

yes, actions do have consequences PowerToThePeople Apr 2015 #128

Dress it up however you like. If you don't vote for Hillary in the general, you support Republicans. tritsofme Apr 2015 #131

Cart <horse. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #135

That is a very safe assumption. There will be a primary in 2016, but it will differ little from tritsofme Apr 2015 #137

In 2012 we had a sitting president. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #142

There are no other high quality candidates moving toward a run. tritsofme Apr 2015 #144

The multiple serious contenders were not yet in the race at this time in 2008. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #145

Obama announced in February, Edwards announced earlier in December. tritsofme Apr 2015 #146

There's more than a year before the convention. Ms. Toad Apr 2015 #148

There is actually precious little time for a top tier candidate to get in the race. tritsofme Apr 2015 #151
