326. I am starting to think she is not the shoo-in we are to believe she is,

Sep 2013

or else her fans are trying to ensure support before anyone else steps up.
Yes, let's concentrate on 2014, and remember that insults and put-downs and smug assertions to non-Hillary fans are not exactly the best way to go about early campaigning.
It is not like the country and the world are in such wonderful shape that my main concern is some "glass ceiling".
I want a non-Corporatist non-Third Wayer. Yeah, I may end up having to hold my nose and vote for a lesser evil, but damned if I am going to be all cheery and rah-rah about it. Interesting to note that Hillary's huge, corporate-given war chest is so massive (as if that makes for a good president). Makes asking for more money seem a little greedy, no?
And Hillary was a sure thing last time, if I recall.
On to 2014.

Warren's poll numbers are rising. Hillary's have nowhere to do but down - and her history predicts JDPriestly Oct 2013 #423

OK --when do you think Elizabeth will announce? Always Randy Oct 2013 #431

I don't care whether she announces. I think we should draft her as a candidate. JDPriestly Oct 2013 #432

Is there a grass roots organization ready to do that Always Randy Oct 2013 #433

Remains to be seen. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #500

If she wins Iowa and New Hampshire I'll contribute to her campaign. But neither has announced, even. ancianita Aug 2014 #496

I'm with you on that Always Randy Aug 2014 #498

I think she is trying to win Iowa through procedural tinkering. Read that on DU JDPriestly Aug 2014 #499

Agreed that she's not good presidential material. From the standpoint of no international work and ancianita Aug 2014 #501

Ethically and morally i think Elizabeth Warren should have her face on Mt. Rushmore Always Randy Aug 2014 #506

this is so right Always Randy Sep 2013 #363

Sorry, I'd MUCH rather someone like Elizabeth Warren sign or not sign a bill on H1B visa expansion cascadiance Oct 2013 #426

Is that you, Bill? polichick Sep 2013 #277

Do you read Taro cards or what? juajen Sep 2013 #388

Bullshit, but you already knew that. Beacool Jun 2014 #459

Hillary's stands against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #460

Did she initiate these wars or did Bush do it? Beacool Jun 2014 #461

She thought they were a good idea. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #462

If she had been president, or any other Democrat for that matter, Beacool Jun 2014 #463

Certainly, we can agree that most Democrats voted against attacking Iraq MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #464

Dude, go post another one of your witty threads. Beacool Jun 2014 #465

As the U.S. Senator from New York at the time of 9/11 Always Randy Jun 2014 #466

So, to be clear, you're thinking she did the right thing in voting to attack Iraq? nt MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #467

How dare you compare Hillary Clinton to dumbnuts? juajen Jul 2013 #90

I was responding to the "women will of course vote for a woman" meme. djean111 Jul 2013 #99

Dumb Presidents make dumb decisions. Brains are very important. juajen Jul 2013 #173

and more than likely they were being coached and groomed by a woman Always Randy Jul 2013 #180

Oh please. Way to twist around what I said. Feh. djean111 Jul 2013 #182

I can actually do "snide" very well, and I refute your accusation. juajen Sep 2013 #214

Refute away! djean111 Sep 2013 #218

I do beg your pardon if I didn't know you were a woman. juajen Sep 2013 #339

I am an old white male Always Randy Sep 2013 #367

In what way to you equate Hillary with "corporatism"? juajen Sep 2013 #213

The TPP, for example. Really, all I need. n/t djean111 Sep 2013 #215

That was a tad vague, don't you think? juajen Sep 2013 #217

Not if you have been keeping up with current events. djean111 Sep 2013 #219

The Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement seems to be a hard nut to crack. juajen Sep 2013 #347

I think a thread on the TPP would be good - but then again, perhaps a thread of its own djean111 Sep 2013 #348

Excuse me, I asked for no links. juajen Sep 2013 #390

If the TPP is indeed as bad as it seems to be, it will affect Hillary's presidential run. djean111 Sep 2013 #392
