#PRDP Post# What are the *real* reasons that any person wouldn't love Hillary as our nominee?

Let's create a definitive list based on what we absolutely know in our guts.

1. They don't like women
2. They don't like strong women
3. They are Republicans
4. Benghazi!!!
5. The Clenis!!!
6. PDS (Pony Deficiency Syndrome)
7. Ratf@#kers!
8. Thinks she's too ambitious.

I think that covers it. Any other possibilities?

Just think back to all the tough fights she's taken on and won.

Seriously? Nobody can legitimately think she's a poor candidate? If a Dem (Hillary or someone better) is going to win the presidency, this kind of juvenile, cheerleading mentality will have to be replaced by serious consideration of why she ISN'T universally loved even within her own party, and which candidate best fits what we need in a POTUS. And I'm not talking about just being a consummate insider and having lots of corporate buddies as a qualification.

Perhaps you should look through Manny's posts if you're unfamiliar with his style. His damning with faint praise is strong, young Skywalker.

Personally, I like to fuck a rat every now and then.

On the campaign trail then veer back to corporatist, DLC policies favoring the 1%

fail by default, since those are the only ones that have every brought us growth and strength as a nation and people.

Which means the only a Rethug has to do to stop the progressives is vote for the DLC candidate. The Democrats would still get their win, the country continues to lose.

Our grandchildren might be the first generation to spit on the people who came before them.

She doesn't speak in declarative sentences, either. You can't be a populist without taking a side and defending it.

She likes to compromise, like Bill. Triangulation is not populist, as long as you are triangulating between the powerful and the powerless....gravity always favors the powerful.

She knows lots of rich people. I'd like to see some of her un-rich acquaintance, please!

Not possible?

really?

Maybe not, women of child bearing years will die, that one is not just possible but CERTAIN..

But probably President Cruz or Rubio wont actually put them to death, just make permanent 2nd class citizens of them
