of his detractors is that he won't get things through a Republican Congress. And Hillary can?! If there is someone they hate more than Obama, it is Hillary! And how did Obama fair with those knuckle heads. The only thing she'll pass is Republican handouts to the rich, which she'll do in an attempt to have them do her a solid by passing a progressive bill.

At least they don't hate Bernie enough to be spiteful, from what I can tell. Yes, they loathe his ideas, but ideas can be discussed and argued; their hatred of Hillary is irrational and irreversible.
