In reply to the discussion: Memo to the Clinton Campaign [View all]rhett o rick
(55,981 posts)202. Exactly. If HRC wins the nomination the Democratic Party risks losing to the Republicons
for the very reason you state. It would be a shame if cali and progressives stayed home but in past elections lots of people stayed home. People that have given up on the election process that has one billionaires' choice running against another billionaires' choice. Sen Sanders is appealing to these people that have been disgusted with the process.
The billionaires see a Clinton v Bush race as win win. Shouldn't that be a warning?
Our founders took a chance and fought for our freedoms and liberties. Take a chance and support the people's candidate and fight the status quo of the billionaires.

This is not a tit for tat. Sanders wanting to know Hillary's stand on TPP is a legitimate question.
