12. That's not a problem, as Hillary will not be the nominee.

Thu May 21, 2015, 10:31 AM

May 2015

And if she by some horrific act of nature becomes the nominee, she will lose to the Republican.

Ergo, support for her now is support for a win by the GOP later.

peace out.

No. There's no rule that says I MUST support the nominee. n/t Dawgs May 2015 #16

You just have to stop bashing her MaggieD May 2015 #24

You're right. I will stop (if I ever start) bashing Hillary if she ever wins the nom. n/t Dawgs May 2015 #27

I think you will run very fast to the voting booth, yeoman6987 May 2015 #32

I'm supporting Bernie until a Democratic nominee is selected. Dawgs May 2015 #40

Lol. I won't run either and I hope Bernie wins yeoman6987 May 2015 #74

If Ted Cruz is 50-50 with Hillary we are fucked. Agschmid May 2015 #66

"if I ever start"? Look to the top of the page! George II May 2015 #67

"Not supporting" is bashing? OK. n/t Dawgs May 2015 #73

True but you can't advocate third party when she is the nominee. hrmjustin May 2015 #60

Is that question relevant to anything? sabrina 1 May 2015 #47

It's nice having a solid non-sequitur to support your choices rock May 2015 #8

The first photo is of Tim Geithner, of course... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #11

I guess if you were bailed out you could say that. But for the people I know who lost their jobs sabrina 1 May 2015 #50

I lost everything in the Great Recession... DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #62

So, by supporting Clinton, you are in fact supporting another economic crash.. eloydude May 2015 #68

Wow, thank you./NT DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #87

Are you really trying to state that Clinton will orchstrate a Bush-esque crash? Sheepshank May 2015 #109

Her economic policies are in question eloydude May 2015 #110

So you would prefer the choices made by a Republican? yardwork May 2015 #10

That's not a problem, as Hillary will not be the nominee. NYC_SKP May 2015 #12

Heh. If she loses in the general Erich Bloodaxe BSN May 2015 #58

In all seriousness, could anyone be worse than those two pusbags? nt hifiguy May 2015 #101

Yes. Watch what happens is a Republican gets elected. yardwork May 2015 #108

Geithner was a pick by both Obama and McCain Mnpaul May 2015 #119

And on that basis you assume there are no other differences. yardwork May 2015 #120

You were the one who claimed a Republican pick would be different Mnpaul May 2015 #122

Do you know the kind Jeb Bush or Scott Walker will select? brooklynite May 2015 #19

Yes, that's why I'm supporting Bernie to win the primary and then beat one of them for President. Dawgs May 2015 #20

Present a convincing argument as to how Bernie wins a national campaign... brooklynite May 2015 #22

Sure. All of us supporters of candidates beside Hillary should just give up. Dawgs May 2015 #30

Funny - I thought we were on a political blog... brooklynite May 2015 #75

Darn plausible Android3.14 May 2015 #36

This why you are wrong. Bernie does not have upaloopa May 2015 #43

Yes I do. Consider it tough love. upaloopa May 2015 #52

Indeed -- cold, dispassionate analysis is better than insubstantial faith brooklynite May 2015 #70

How are Bernie supporters unrealistic? Dawgs May 2015 #76

It's unrealistic that Sanders would be nominated, but somehow realistic that Cruz would. arcane1 May 2015 #89

Interesting that you use two people she had nothing to do with to justify not supporting Clinton. George II May 2015 #63

Interesting that you don't know her history. n/t Dawgs May 2015 #83

Oh, but I do, and she didn't choose either of them to be Treasury Secretary George II May 2015 #85

Well, if you know her history then you should know that exactly the type of person she would pick. Dawgs May 2015 #86

Her "history" is that she's never chosen a Treasury Secretary. George II May 2015 #88
