I would have more respect for the Centrists, Moderate, ThirdWay, DINO's like PBO and the Clinton's, if they had the actual courage to stay in the GOP and fix it instead of fucking up the Democratic Party.

Sure PBO is nice on TV and talks the talk but he does not walk the walk. Hopefully the Party will nominate a more liberal and progressive candidate in 16 if not, I think the Democratic Party will risk losing many liberal and progressive votes. So if Hillary is nominated or another corporate clown is the Democratic Party will lose its traditional base and one can say hello to President Chris Christie. Barring any major fuck up he will be POTUS in 16 any how, the 1% are grooming him already.
