To DU members who oppose Hillary Clinton [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 OP

OK, Issues it shall be. With credit to another DUer: NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #1

That's legitimate criticism and the criticism you levy deserves to be vigorously debated./NT DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2015 #2

How is that legit criticism? JaneyVee Apr 2015 #34

Her record shall be her demise. She changes statements to suit her audience. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #89

Exactly right. Hillary's record shows she's always late to the party or a no-show altogether when it comes to progressive isues. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #154

Her 2016 platform hasn't even been released. procon Apr 2015 #38

I will not be weighing campaign rhetoric very heavily. merrily Apr 2015 #66

Do you expect her to have policies that don't appeal to the voters? procon Apr 2015 #76

Yes. tazkcmo Apr 2015 #84

Certainly she has a long political history. procon Apr 2015 #94

Her campaign rhetoric will be in keeping with today's issues, but I don't expect a change in merrily Apr 2015 #98

Trust me. Hillary Clinton will make Obama look like a socialist. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #131

Not too stupid to mesh with progressive, just not interested in us, she's a corporatist. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #80

Simple solution: just find another candidate who's more electable. procon Apr 2015 #88

That's exactly what we are doing. nt NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #90

Who is more electable? procon Apr 2015 #101

Too soon to tell. Carter looked very electable running against Reagan: NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #115

It's not too soon. procon Apr 2015 #120

Someone like Warren would do well with less money, appeal to a very broad demographic. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #121

They really don't have that much recognition. procon Apr 2015 #125

Appeal as measured among people who know her. Different from name recognition. NYC_SKP Apr 2015 #127

Anything is possible; best of luck then. nt procon Apr 2015 #130

That's my point exactly. 99th_Monkey Apr 2015 #105

I limit my criticisms to policy issues. Maedhros Apr 2015 #10
