Would you support Martin O'Malley if he runs?

(114,904 posts)everyone who's opposed to Hillary is going to angrily flip out over that query? bzzzzt. fail.
I've been saying for quite some time that Warren probably won't run and that that would be a wise decision, unless she's determined to run as a means for getting a message out. Warren doesn't have the political experience or the political genius of a Barack Obama or Bill Clinton. She's run one campaign and although she improved over its duration, it was not a stellar campaign. She also doesn't have the backing she'd need to mount a successful campaign. People who compare her to Obama do so erroneously. He'd run for office multiple times before running for the Presidency.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Warren supports Hillary and I certainly wouldn't hold that against her. On the other hand, it wouldn't have any influence on me. I still wouldn't support Hillary- no matter who endorses her.
Hillary is an impressive figure. I respect what she's accomplished in her career, but I don't respect more than a few of her positions. that's quite separate from the distaste I feel for the prospect of having the Clinton circus- quite a bit of which is not the fault of the Clintons- back in the White House.
You are sadly predictable.

(27,787 posts)And since I did not mention you, I'm not sure what you're all worked up about.
There is a rather vocal contingent here who (a) dislike Hillary a great deal, and (b) really, really, really, wants Warren to run because she (at least currently) is sufficiently liberal.
Some of them would absolutely flip out if the scenario in the OP were to occur.
No doubt about it. And that's very predictable.

(17,796 posts)I guess I would support which ever candidate who position on the issues I care about most closely matches my own.
Just a crazy little habit of mine.

(20,277 posts)Clinton has yet to say that she will run. If she does I hope there is a primary.
I wonder how many will crap their pants if she doesn't run.

(13 posts)Could happen. When the primaries are in full swing and pols start making endorsements, no reason one hard-working woman in the party wouldn't support another.
Still, it's a little bad form to bring up prospective worldview implosions still a couple of years off.

Sick.
