The picture and caption implies that she's a large4r trhan life hero who is set to save America single handedly.

Fine. People get enamored by their candidate of choice. But sauce for the goose...etc. People criticize supporters for praising Sanders, and call it hero worship, St. Bernie, etc. This is the same thing.

Hillary Clinton will be the next POTUS [View all] KMOD Dec 2015 OP

I do not agree with you. PowerToThePeople Dec 2015 #1

Impossible.... Spitfire of ATJ Dec 2015 #22

The OP is just trying to boost the flagging morale over in Camp Hillary. They were never reformist2 Dec 2015 #161

K&R MrWendel Dec 2015 #2

It's looking that way. ucrdem Dec 2015 #3

Sanders would never sacrifice his senate seat to be second in command to Hillary... cascadiance Dec 2015 #112

She's the only candidate running with executive branch experience at the federal level. nt MADem Dec 2015 #4

So? CoffeeCat Dec 2015 #5

He had a superb SECSTATE, and a superb VP, too. nt MADem Dec 2015 #6

In the cabinet of his imagination in "What Might Have Been" land. MADem Dec 2015 #73

You'll probably want to make sure you're sitting down Kentonio Dec 2015 #75

I think he'll do well in IA and NH. MADem Dec 2015 #80

The effect of a Sanders clean sweep of Iowa and New Hampshire would be staggering. Kentonio Dec 2015 #88

I don't think so. Sanders should win NH. He's from VT. yardwork Dec 2015 #89

If he wins Iowa then all you'll hear in the media is 'Clinton loses to Sanders!' Kentonio Dec 2015 #90

And if he loses IA, the Sanders crew will be saying "He came in 2nd! He's gaining on her!" MADem Dec 2015 #93

If he wins NH and loses Iowa by a couple of points he'll still get a big boost Kentonio Dec 2015 #94

That is a narrative "Team Sanders" keeps prosecuting. MADem Dec 2015 #113

"The demographics are just wrong"? Care to amend that statement now? Tarheel_Dem Jun 2016 #168

Did you really just dig up a random post from December to pick an argument over? Kentonio Jun 2016 #169

But you were so emphatic that I kinda believed you. Just wondered if you have any regrets about.... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2016 #170

Sure, I seriously underestimated how fundamentally dishonest the American media has become Kentonio Jul 2016 #171

So it's the media's fault now? You think the media was in the bag for Hillary? What're you saying? Tarheel_Dem Jul 2016 #172

If I remember rightly, I said that the idea certain racial groups wouldn't vote for him was wrong Kentonio Jul 2016 #173

You think AA's care what the "media narrative" was? We don't. We just knew who the better.... Tarheel_Dem Jul 2016 #174

But it's hers to lose, so that narrative is accurate. Fawke Em Dec 2015 #99

What's "hers to lose?" Two homogenous states where white males MADem Dec 2015 #105

NH - First state in the country to have an all female congressional delegation. bunnies Dec 2015 #165

Sadly, that lasted but a moment. Frank Giunta (R) harshed the mellow. MADem Dec 2015 #166

I guess her finishing 2nd in Iowa will be a win for her since she finished THIRD in Iowa in 2008!!! cascadiance Dec 2015 #116

You haven't seen the polls lately, I see. nt MADem Dec 2015 #130

I see the crap polls today just like I've seen them as they were back in 2008 too... cascadiance Dec 2015 #135

I think you're just angry because the polls don't say what you want them to say. MADem Dec 2015 #137

Oh please--at best it would be close, first of all, and second, how many MADem Dec 2015 #91

It doesn't matter if its close, its all about the headlines it creates Kentonio Dec 2015 #92

I provide facts and history, you respond with "feelings." MADem Dec 2015 #101

Nate Silver disagrees Gothmog Dec 2015 #131

I hear a large diesel engine warming up.....vruuuuuuum, vruuuuuuuum..... MADem Dec 2015 #139

His name recognition is still low amongst AA and Latino voters. Kentonio Dec 2015 #164

The polls say you are wrong and that MORE voters would support him against GOP challengers... cascadiance Dec 2015 #114

Well, no, they don't. You can cherry pick a poll here and there, but the truth MADem Dec 2015 #120

You are the one that is talking about the ones YOU cherry pick to say they favor her... cascadiance Dec 2015 #123

You haven't read the whole thread, or if you have, you haven't read very closely. MADem Dec 2015 #140

More like an ethically flawed and neocon fp tenure. cali Dec 2015 #60

Yeah. I like Kerry. eom Fawke Em Dec 2015 #98

Who is also a good SECSTATE--but he wasn't Obama's first pick. nt MADem Dec 2015 #107

Kind of like Rahm Emanuel was his first pick to head up his cabinet... cascadiance Dec 2015 #117

SMH @ your "Kind of like Rahm Emanuel was his first pick to head up his cabinet..." ??? MADem Dec 2015 #141

Obama's staff is his cabinet... Emanuel was his "Chief of Staff" cascadiance Dec 2015 #142

No. You are wrong about that. MADem Dec 2015 #144

Apparently Cabinet secretaries didn't like Rahm Emanuel regarding them as his "minions"... cascadiance Dec 2015 #149

What's that have to do with the fact that you incorrectly identified Emmanuel as a Cabinet member? MADem Dec 2015 #153

Bernie Sanders is not Barack Obama CajunBlazer Dec 2015 #7
