The Three Types of Hillary Supporters

[Bernin4U]

19. Thanks, a couple comments...

(sticking with my original lettering)

A. Sure there will be questions and discussions about the actual meaning of socialism in this context. What's not at question is that the right will attack it, and try to equate it to Nazi Germany, the USSR, or at best Greece. (Never mind that "free market capitalism", which surely instills images of bald eagles and stars and stripes, is actually much more closely represented in places like Somalia or Central America.)

My point is that whether it's Hillary or Bernie or Kermit the Frog, whoever emerges to represent the Dems will be branded a Socialist. Hillary will not get a pass on this. No matter how far to the economic right of Bernie she is reality, she's already been branded with the Scarlet S since first becoming politically active. She will be (already has been) demonized every bit as much as Bernie, so to think she has any advantage here is naive.

B. Yes, I tried to point out why H's crossover appeal can easily be overstated, but maybe should add more why B's can just as easily be understated.

C. Doh! Straight from the Australian University of Woolloomooloo.

G. Of course, they'll continue to be the Party of No, at least as much under Hillary as Bernie (or Obama). And yes it's probably worth stating more clearly, so I'll add that.

E. Also will add, thanks.
