If i didn't use her actual words...but the fact is that I did post exact quotes. They are completely disparate positions, albeit separated by time. I seriously would like to know if her supporters are backing her because they believe her to be a moderate, or because they believe her to be a progressive. For my part, I am drawn to Bernie because i know him to be a true progressive with a long track record to back it up; also he has never claimed to be any other position. So there, I indicated why I support MY candidate, so lets see some truth telling by the Clinton supporters. Which is it, Hillary the progressive, or Hillary the moderate that garners their vote?

Such a simple freakin question and everyone gets bent out of shape? Makes no sense.

Hillary supporters, which Hillary do you support? [View all] NorthCarolina Oct 2015 OP

Sanders supporter......really? Really? Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #1

Highly unlikely. nt Cali_Democrat Oct 2015 #2

I truly am curious as to which NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #3

I say go for it, Fred. sibelian Oct 2015 #9

With freedom comes responsibility. I know a Bernie poll on gun control views would be to attack Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #12

What were the voting options you would have considered? nt sibelian Oct 2015 #20

The two posed of Sanders by Chris Hayes yesterday....there is a DU thread and full video of the Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #26

Then by all means, go ahead. A poll is a poll. sibelian Oct 2015 #40

Bernie's support for gun control is well established, why would anyone poll that? Fearless Oct 2015 #22

Exactly. So why is Fred bashing pro-gun control Bernie instead of attacking the pro-NRA Republicans? beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #46

LOL, sure you are. nt Logical Oct 2015 #29

Post it, and if the questions are fair NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #31

You should do that poll. Autumn Oct 2015 #44

I have a feeling you're going to need this... Fearless Oct 2015 #4

Why? Hillary obviously made both comments herself. NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #7

I've noticed a distinct pattern of late Fearless Oct 2015 #15

You are not alone, but maybe less conspiracy than a convergence event not being discouraged enough. Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #27

Care to elaborate? Fearless Oct 2015 #30

We are now in the final stretches. Not only are people expected to vote for someone... sibelian Oct 2015 #25

It would only be an attack NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #28

It's the end. sibelian Oct 2015 #36

Another one? leftofcool Oct 2015 #5

Either she's one or the other. sibelian Oct 2015 #8

Exactly, whats such the big deal in indicating which personna you prefer? NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #13

Apparently not. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #11

Welcome back. The barricades are being assaulted from within, but are still up. Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #16

Thank you and these Hillary supporters questions are always good for a laugh. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #18

What barracades and who's assaulting? Fearless Oct 2015 #49

Honestly this thread is pretty funny. I chuckled out loud for real. Bread and Circus Oct 2015 #6

Oh brother! hrmjustin Oct 2015 #10

16 comments.....no votes! The margin of error is infinity! Fred Sanders Oct 2015 #17

. hrmjustin Oct 2015 #19

Actually it would be null, as you are dividing by zero Fearless Oct 2015 #21

So, no Hillary supporters have any view on her status as "progressive" or "moderate", it seems. sibelian Oct 2015 #23

nah, just do not want to play silly games. riversedge Oct 2015 #58

Awwww. sibelian Oct 2015 #71

Oh Noes...there's votes now!! NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #37

Which even one upsets you more. JoePhilly Oct 2015 #14

Neither one to be honest. NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #24

Please show me where Bernie stated he "could never be a Democrat". NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #50

The Schrodinger candidate Fumesucker Oct 2015 #32

and we're not allowed to open the box to find out which one she is until after she is elected. liberal_at_heart Oct 2015 #77

So, we have three brave souls honest enough to answer the poll. NorthCarolina Oct 2015 #33

What difference does it make? reformist2 Oct 2015 #35

Well, it would be nice to think that she's being supported through SOME interest in politics. sibelian Oct 2015 #38
