48. Whoever ends up being the nominee will be winning over a lot

of supporters of the ones who don't. In fact, those who don't get the nomination will, no doubt, endorse and campaign for the nominee. It's up to the people to vote in the caucuses and primaries for the candidate they prefer. Only one will win. After that, all actual Democrats will support the nominee. That's sure as hell what I'll be doing, anyhow.

Absolutely unh-unh. DinahMoeHum Nov 2015 #1

Some background would help. Smarmie Doofus Nov 2015 #2

Here you go Autumn Nov 2015 #40

I wouldn't have seen the thread if you wouldn't have sufrommich Nov 2015 #41

Oh that was so 2008... but people remember. I linked to TWM's post Autumn Nov 2015 #42

People remember what? I remember the "iron my shirt" signs.I have no sufrommich Nov 2015 #44

As a Hillary supporter in 2008 I remember the possibility of it being discussed then Autumn Nov 2015 #45

You do realize that OPs in the Bernie group also appear in the Latest Threads tab, right? JoePhilly Nov 2015 #66

Yes I do realize that,in fact that's where I saw it yesterday evening and commented on it. Autumn Nov 2015 #69

I just got notified I was banned from the Bernie group Andy823 Nov 2015 #90

figures DrDan Nov 2015 #91

BTW, I believe it would also be a mistake for Clinton supporters MineralMan Nov 2015 #3

This is probably the silliest thread you have started. Kalidurga Nov 2015 #4

Thank you. I agree. MineralMan Nov 2015 #6

Well it appears to be your idea Kalidurga Nov 2015 #11

Psst ... JoePhilly Nov 2015 #19

I missed that thread but good to know. Thanks riversedge Nov 2015 #29

What you said. notadmblnd Nov 2015 #27

It has been suggested here on DU. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #30

The first thing to do is reverse the situation. LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #5

Yes. I mentioned that in a reply to the OP, too. MineralMan Nov 2015 #8

... 99Forever Nov 2015 #7

WTF indeed. MineralMan Nov 2015 #9

I wonder why anyone would... 99Forever Nov 2015 #12

Odd question Android3.14 Nov 2015 #10

Should Clinton supporters stop kicking their dogs and beating their kids? Bluenorthwest Nov 2015 #13

I think any who are doing that should stop it at once. MineralMan Nov 2015 #14

And yet to suggest they do so without any evidence would be unethical and creepy. Bluenorthwest Nov 2015 #15

? Hiraeth Nov 2015 #16

Yes, we should protest war-mongers whenever possible. Scuba Nov 2015 #17

Yes, and lets protest Sanders for funding the wars. Just as guilty. riversedge Nov 2015 #31

Providing funding to support our troops WHO ARE ALREADY IN A WAR is much different ... Scuba Nov 2015 #33

Oh they know it alright. 99Forever Nov 2015 #70

By all means, get out there and do it. Let's see how it goes. Scootaloo Nov 2015 #80

BLM protests, yes, showing up to harass a candidate Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #18

Should Mineral Man put a filter ibegurpard Nov 2015 #20

My filter is always in place, and I change it MineralMan Nov 2015 #64

No but I could see Iraqi refugees and their allies protesting HRC fairly aikoaiko Nov 2015 #21

Yes. Not to mention American orphans, Iraqi orphans, American paraplegics, Smarmie Doofus Nov 2015 #28

Let me help you out Autumn Nov 2015 #34

The Sanders group is open for all to read. MineralMan Nov 2015 #47

Yes it is I'm sure people like to read it. But not everyone posts OP's on Autumn Nov 2015 #62

Well, I'm not everyone, clearly. MineralMan Nov 2015 #65

No Rosa Luxemburg Nov 2015 #22

If they want to certainly. Do you have a problem with BLM protesting candidates appearances? Autumn Nov 2015 #23

Of course they have a right to do it. MineralMan Nov 2015 #25

Look Bernie isn't going to win Hillary's supporters over and Hillary isn't going to win Autumn Nov 2015 #32

Whoever ends up being the nominee will be winning over a lot MineralMan Nov 2015 #48

free speech and all BainsBane Nov 2015 #24

Yes. They would have a right to do that, of course. MineralMan Nov 2015 #26

Here's candidate Bill Clinton losing his cool when disrupted by ACT UP activists Bluenorthwest Nov 2015 #50

Is Bill Clinton running for office? MineralMan Nov 2015 #63

Nothing is going to switch my vote so it would not convince me. hrmjustin Nov 2015 #35

Look at DU. yallerdawg Nov 2015 #37

So many things to love about this thread! NurseJackie Nov 2015 #36

i haven't seen anything to this effect restorefreedom Nov 2015 #38

A well known DU member has proposed it in another OP. JoePhilly Nov 2015 #67

i guess i missed that thread. nt restorefreedom Nov 2015 #89

Why assume it's to get Clinton supporters to switch? SMC22307 Nov 2015 #39

This is the thread you were worried about Kalidurga Nov 2015 #43

I suspect he didn't link because this has been the reason for jury hides..... msanthrope Nov 2015 #49

Actually, I didn't link to it because it wasn't necessary. MineralMan Nov 2015 #52

Awesome Kalidurga Nov 2015 #54

Yes, I do. That's a good thing. MineralMan Nov 2015 #56

My bad. And yes.... your goal in posting has been achieved. nt msanthrope Nov 2015 #55

No PatrickforO Nov 2015 #51

That's what I think, too. MineralMan Nov 2015 #53

It would help Andy823 Nov 2015 #58

Absolutely YES! pinebox Nov 2015 #57

OK. It seems like your view is in the minority, though. MineralMan Nov 2015 #60

I see it as a valuable thing pinebox Nov 2015 #81

As I said, people have a right to do things, MineralMan Nov 2015 #82

Agreed 100% pinebox Nov 2015 #83

Sounds like they might be Larouchies assholes .... Historic NY Nov 2015 #59

I hadn't thought of it that way. MineralMan Nov 2015 #61

I hope so! They need to take their act out for a public airing. Walk away Nov 2015 #85

Exactly Andy823 Nov 2015 #68

Oh, I see, this is a deftly worded call-out thread about a post in the Bernie group. aikoaiko Nov 2015 #71

No. It's a discussion of something someone proposed. MineralMan Nov 2015 #72

As I said, deftly worded. aikoaiko Nov 2015 #75

No, not as you said. MineralMan Nov 2015 #76

I tried to quickly edit to explain better. We are free to agree to disagree. aikoaiko Nov 2015 #77

See, the thing is that I could easily have included a MineralMan Nov 2015 #78

Manny things really have become apparent. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #73

I would never draw a link between Sanders and Paul. MineralMan Nov 2015 #74

Never would I sanction such behavior. Juicy_Bellows Nov 2015 #79

Would they be protesting her or some of her policies? Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2015 #84

I have no idea. Probably a mix of both. MineralMan Nov 2015 #86

Just Asking Questions... MannyGoldstein Nov 2015 #87

If you aren't planning to ever vote for Clinton it would make sense but otherwise it's a dumb idea. seaglass Nov 2015 #88

I wouldn't put it past them. Rose Siding Nov 2015 #92

To do so would be the same as conceding that she's won already. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #93
