(5,761 posts)So many in this thread honestly believe that Republicans will work more with Hillary than Bernie? Really? REALLY!?
WAKE UP!
They can't stand Hillary, period. How many times do so many have to say this? Most American's can't stand her. There's not any mediocre stance on her, you either love her or you hate her and most are in the latter camp.
The only reason Sanders hasn't gained any congressional endorsements (which are bullshit anyhow) is because he shoots straight and tells the truth. Some see Hillary as being the "anointed one" and "chosen one" for the throne, Bernie on the other hand is seen as the guy who rolls up his sleeps and gets shit done, fighting for the middle class and poor. The whole no SuperPAC thing speaks volumes.
Republicans would do everything in their power to absolutely humiliate Hillary on every imaginable level. The amount of vitriol aimed at her is unlike anything seen before. You think it's bad with Obama? Now try it aimed at a woman they've hated for decades!
Here. let me clue you all in. Let's take a look at a twitter search for Hillary under the #TCOT hashtag shall we? https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=Hillary%20%23tcot&src=typd There's no way in the blue hell Republicans would ever work with her, on any issue, not a chance and if you think otherwise, you'd better check yourself.
If you think Bernie is unelectable, try Hillary. She'd bring out the GOP in droves with hate based votes. I can't stand Ann Coulter but she's right on this---Bernie would be harder to beat than Hillary. http://ringoffireradio.com/2015/08/coulter-repeats-what-is-becoming-obvious-to-the-gop-they-dont-want-to-run-against-bernie/
