This kind of OP is pure divisiveness for divisiveness' sake. It does not help get Democrats elected, which is one of the TOS goals of this board--that's the problem I have with it.
Hillary Clinton has made it clear what her future holds, and it's not government service. Anyone with half a brain knows that Clinton is soon to be out of government--this SECSTATE gig is her last hurrah. An individual claiming to be a genuine Clinton acolyte would surely have paid attention to her pronouncements, and supported the candidate she supports--President Obama. Prosecuting silly pipe dreams about her future prospects, or how "awful" Biden is, on left leaning message boards isn't what Hillary Clinton wants, so these types of comments are plainly working against--not for--her, as well as working against reelection of Obama-Biden.
I can only conclude that the actual agenda here goes way beyond wanting something for Clinton that she, herself, has quite emphatically said she does not want and has no interest in pursuing. It's a process that suggests use of a long wooden spoon and a great deal of stirring.
I don't like seeing a Clinton cloak thrown over a load of fracturing bullshit--it's not fair to her, it isn't what she wants, and it's not fair to those of us who did support Clinton with enthusiasm in the last primary, but were able to shift gears and move forward without too much agita, and who intend to heartily support the incumbent President in his reelection bid.
Bottom line, in my view--these kinds of threads are divisive, over-the-top, disruptive, absurd....and the worst crime of all, dumb. They're fantasies, and they're not even smart fantasies!
