(15,435 posts)Party made the decision even BEFORE anyone else decided to run against her. I remember over a year ago that so many here were complaining that they wanted someone to run against her. Now that she has someone, many of those who wanted her to have an opponent have "decided" that he's NOT a Democrat even though he's ALWAYS caucused with them. AND IN FACT, what he proposes for our country are much more like The Democratic Party that so many, many of us who have been life long Democrats have ALWAYS stood for!
You can do some research on a man named Al From and his relationship with the Clintons! They came together way back in the early 90's to form the DLC, a conservative leaning Democratic Party that's now morphed into the The Third Way! Even though most here have always complained about how much to the right the Party lurched, they seem to have decided it's quite OKAY to have MORE OF THE SAME!
I scratch my head daily because she has a very "right leaning" history that has done so much to destroy what was once a BIG TENT Democratic Party!
PLUS, those who once fought for "we the people" as opposed to MONEY & GREED have become very comfortable with the way things are and have formed THE CLINTON MACHINE to STOP Bernie no matter what damage it does for "we the people!"
It's very sad, but pretty UN-DEMOCRATIC IMO!
