Who is Kristin Gillibrand?
I never heard of her.
Should I vote for her?
Even if Sanders loses the nomination contest, which at this point appears likely, he represents an egalitarian, democratic vision that is highly skeptical of corporate power and the neoliberalism that Clinton represents. This agenda has resonated, fueling a surprisingly strong campaign that has energized many, especially younger voters, and those supporters expect that their message will be carried all the way to the convention. For Sanders, stopping the fight at this point would be senseless.
Those do not sound like the kind of people who will easily stand for their favorite nut being screwed out of the nomination, exactly what the Witch and her super delegates are doing to him. A that point many of them may well listen to Trump, decide the system was rigged against them, and refuse to vote for the Witch.
Really?
Salon thinks the Hillabeast’s sorry assed resume is a plus?
Really really?
The Democrats' dilemma is that Sanders is the only alternative they have this year. Talk of parachuting in "Uncle Joe" or someone else is the same sort of fantasy talk that the RNC was entertaining a few weeks back. Discarding the whole primary vote process in favor of some last-minute back-room deal would turn most of the Democratic base against the party and incur massive down-ballot repercussions. It's something they simply cannot do.
Then there's the problem that it's "her turn" and Hillary won't go quietly. It's been obvious from the start of the whole Kabuki Theater e-mail "investigation" will go nowhere because Hillary has enough dirt (and the vindictiveness to use it) to take down Obama and most of his administration with her if they try to take her out that way. I'm sure they've tried negotiation, but Hillary and Bill know this is their last gasp and they'd rather go down fighting for power than step aside.
So the powers-that-be are being forced to let her run into the Trump buzz-saw. It won't be pretty, but it's the only way out.
Say whatever you want about Clintons lengthy résuméand her credentials are indeed impressiveher performance this primary season is hardly indicative of a strong candidate.
Saying it twice does not make it more true. The author could say it many more times without making it true.
I saw a video that Shawn Hannity did, asking people (mostly women) standing in line for a Hillary rally what Hillary has actually done for women. Most of them drew total blanks. Some of them did come up with warm fuzzy blather, but not a one could think of a single accomplishment.
Is she the political version of the military acronym REMF? All hat and no cattle, never done a thing?
Which is why we should refer to her as "Mrs. Bill Clinton" instead of "Hillary", as you did.
Hey David Niose, Hillary's not riding impressive credentials or a resume... She's riding the crooked democrat path called 'rigging the system'.
And what's that?
Super-delegates.
If you don't understand the math - and how it's almost IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to get the nomination from 'establishment insiders - get a friend who understand statistics to explain it. Democrats have taken the power the people should have and given it to themselves.
Really David Niose 'do the math'... see for yourself. Oh - and quit being a fool. Democrats took away the power of the vote intentionally - from the people. Without a whimper of resistance from the press... Write about that...
She was our anointed Senator from Gnu Yak. A raving Liberal in the vein of Chuck U Schumer...without the charm.
“should of”
Should have...
Only because nobody knows who she is!
Absurd.
If you start off with lies, you can never get to the truth.
Salon is pointing out the elephant in the room. Without the black vote, the Dems cannot win. And most blacks WILL NOT vote for a Jew.
Look at the NY exit polls, and the Michigan exit polls
This from lib Salon no less.
yep
Exactly!
