I would not stake my life on that one.

One of the first questions asked in this thread is who are the moderates. Obviously Clinton is not, not at all.

But compared to the rest of the loons, she is. This woman is crooked and incompetent. However she will go with the flow with regards to mainstream dem beliefs and be considered a moderate. Keep in mind Bill Clinton, by comparison to obama, was a fair President. There will be voters wanting her simply because they want that 1990’s Clinton era to return.

She will never win against Trump, but comparatively speaking, she is a moderate by dem standards.

Now for those reading this and blowing a gasket, I said by dem standards.

There is not possibly enough popcorn for this event.

And in other news, stocks continued to tumble with the exception of popcorn related companies which continue to climb.

HILLARY IS DONE.

The second she enters a race, President Trump will bomb her with declassified documents showing how she got the FBI and CIA to take a bought and paid for fake dossier to investigate candidate Trump.

No democrats and no media want that can of worms opened.

Bloomberg is an IDIOT, just ask us IF the GOP had taken Trump as the nominee in some back room deal NONE of us would have voted and YOU CAN BET ON THAT!!!! Bloomberg does this and he LOSES 1/3 of the base ALL his money down the drain!!! I remember when the bastards on our side were going to play games with the delegates! Trump brought Manafort in and I THANK Manafort every damn day for delivering the delegates to us!! Trump needs to commute his sentence OR pardon him!!! Bloomberg is a LOSER!!!

A Brokered Convention could create a perfect opportunity for the Hag to swoop in. Like Dick Morris has said, “if her heart is beating, she’s running in 2020”.

The Bernie Bros will riot. A large % of them will sit out the election at the very least if not split from the party.

Seriously.....what could be more indicative of a corrupt political party than this? Some billionaire rides in who wasn’t a Democrat 5 minutes ago and BUYS the nomination at a brokered convention even though he didn’t get many votes on the campaign trail.

Trump would absolutely crush Mini Mike in November.

...other moderate Democrats

There is that word AGAIN! It's almost like instructions were sent out to every media outlet in the country. "moderate" is the new "debunked."

If Bernie gets a plurality of the votes in the democrat primaries and caucuses and Bloomberg gets the nomination, isn’t Bernie still the “real” democrat nominee? So what if Bloomberg gets a majority of the delegates?

For the past 3 years democrats have been saying that Trump is not the “real” president because Hillary got a plurality of the popular vote. So what if Trump won a majority of the electoral vote?

Hillary is already a TWO TIME loser.

Lost the 2008 nomination to a first term senator who had voted “present” more often than not and whose biggest life accomplishment was being a community organizer.

Despite spending over $1billion in 2016 she lost the election to a successful businessman who had never run a political campaign or held elective or appointed office.
She blew through the Clinton Crime Family fortune and accomplished squat.

She went on a multi years pity party in which she wrote a book blaming everyone but herself for her loss. She added to her misery by going on a book signing tour that included such high profile and toney venues as Costco, right beside the toilet paper display.
She drug Webb Hubbell’s daughter out for another ghostwritten book that no one wanted.
While not broke the CCF doesn’t have another billion to spend buying the DNC nor is she likely to get more money with no influence to sell.

Clinton insiders (Podesta) getting slots in the DNC is more likely to mean they need a new paycheck than anything else.
They probably had to sign a contract in blood that they would never mention Hillary again.
