(5,621 posts)Here's the problem with Hillary, the Republicans hate her, as well as some Democrats. Republicans in office will not go along with ANYTHING she proposes, they will fear for their political future if they do. This is one reason that very little got done under Obama and it will be twice as bad under Hillary. She bought the Democrats with re-election money, she will have to try to buy the Republicans, but they already have Koch money.
She has no coattails, and it will be a slog if she even gets elected. From the moment she is sworn in, she will face impeachment, they are itching to do it, and their constituents will demand it. Think of birthers on steroids. After 2 years of continued battering, do you think that people will all of a sudden vote in Democrats? Democrats will become everything that they hate about Hillary and Bill. She inspires no enthusiasm. And, quite frankly people don't trust her or like her.
Bernie on the other hand, has enthusiastic supporters, willing to work very hard to get him elected. He went from 50 points behind to beating her in almost half the states, with very little support from the MSM or the DNC, if fact you could say they worked against him. It was his supporters that got him where he is. His supporters will make sure that down ticket politicians will also be elected. Just take a look at what has happened with Tim Canova, Bernie supporters have gotten behind him and he has a real chance to win. And in 2 years, Bernie supporters will have lined up politicians that will work with Bernie and get them elected. It could be a real game changer.
Bernie is our leader, our voice, our figurehead for the movement, he is not our messiah, he knows that and tells us frequently. Bernie knows that change won't happen instantly, and he has told us that. But, if we don't reach for the stars, it will never happen.
Bernie supporters are not in it for just this election, but to change the system. They tried working within the Democratic Party, witnessed by Bernie joining the Democratic Party, but not only have they rejected him, they have done everything they could to destroy his campaign. They have been so blatant about it that it has not gone unnoticed, even by the MSM. Do we reward the Democratic Party and Hillary by voting for her, after they have done everything they could to demean us and push us away and destroy our leader? Why would we, why should we?
There is absolutely no chance of anything happening in my lifetime or my son's lifetime if things stay the same. Hillary is quite comfortable keeping everything the way it is. She has become a multi millionaire with the system, while more and more people have to turn to food stamps and food pantries to eat. More and more people have been arrested and imprisoned and died because of the system. Just because you don't see it or feel it, doesn't mean it isn't happening. In the near future, if things remain the same, expect all hell to break loose. The pressure is mounting, the feelings are real.
