Hillary Clinton Room Post

It is already getting ugly and we have a long primary ahead of us. I get not everyone supports Hillary or even likes her. It will be a contested primary with good candidates with good people. I just hope that while the passions are high we can remember we are all Democrats and want the best for this nation.


I support Hillary because I think she is ready for the job. I think she has proven herself to be ready to handle the challenges that will come the presidents way. I never claimed to agree 100 percent with her but I believe she is a tried and true Democrat.


I need to remember that I need a thicker skin at times. I know some things are said in the heat of the moment and that passions will be running hiigh here over the course of the primaries.


I am so glad that we have this room and that we have great hosts. Thanks you for ehat you guys do.


Hugs to you all.

1. I'll vote for her again

I voted for her before and she is my 1st choice for 16. I do hope there is a vigorous primary with lots of debate.
During the absurd obama vs hillary nastiness, I avoided all obama bashing even though I supported hillary. Obama won fair and square so I had no problem immediately pivoting to supporting him. If hillary is not nominated I will support who ever it is. I am a democrat. I vote for democrats.

3. I like Sanders and Warren and I too will not say a bad thing about them personally.

I will support either if they and the nominee. I do have concerns if either can win and will address that here but will not say a thing against them personally.

I hope that puma does not come back because i see somd saying if Hillary wins they won't support her.

2. Hugs back atcha.....

It can't get as bad as 2008 can it?

[hrmjustin]

4. Yes it can and is already starting.

I saw the term third way shills already posted here. You know they maen Hillary supporters.

[EileenFB]

5. Just got through reading

Dirty Words on Clean Skin by Anita Finlay. Talk about bringing back memories of '08! I still have battle wounds and from the looks of things '16 is going to be just as tough if not tougher.

[hrmjustin]

6. I just got called third way today.

[OKNancy]

9. what the hell does that even mean?

I see slams on Hillary because she has good political skills. She actually talks to Republicans!! oh the crime, the sin!

[hrmjustin]

11. It means they think she is a Dino and I guess her supporters are Dino as well according to some here

[OKNancy]

14. Well, then if they think she or we are Democrats in name only, then they are blind

I'm a yellow-dog Democrat! Not only that but I believe in winning... shocker.
I think Hillary is a winner. This purist stuff is bullshit.

[hrmjustin]

15. This primary season will not be pleasant.

[OKNancy]

7. One problem is that there are plenty of wrong characterizations and lies

about her past, her votes, and her positions.
If supporters have the stomach for it, we should counter them.

[hrmjustin]

8. Good point.

[NBachers]

10. The Hillary bashing will be encouraged by groups who do not have Democrats' best interests at heart.

Anti-HRC'ers would counter by saying "Hillary does not have Democrats' best interests at heart."

The Republican agents are proven masters at linguistics and propaganda manipulation. They are here. They will gleefully jump on the anti-Hillary bandwagon at Democratic Underground.

[hrmjustin]

12. I want to know if they think if all Hillary supporters are DINO's.

[NBachers]

13. I feel defensive here for being an Obama supporter.

I ain't seen nothin' yet.

[hrmjustin]

16. Good point.

I don't get the Obama bashing either.

[EileenFB]

17. I don't get the Obama bashing either.

Seems people have selective memory loss and have forgotten what condition this country was in when he took office. Also add to that our international relations which were mended thanks in large part to his first Secretary of State.

[hrmjustin]

19. People thought thwt he was going to get his way on things and when he didn't they took part of it ou

on him. Criticism is fair but the bashing is not.

[EileenFB]

18. I just hope that us older ones

who worked/fought for her in '08 will be able to use their experience and mentor the young voters who will be facing the onslaught of Hillary hate for the first time.

[hrmjustin]

20. I campaigned hard in NY for her and intend to campaign hard again for her.

I hope you are right.

[Thinkingabout]

21. I still have her pin and it goes everywhere I drive. She does have experience

and her stand on the issues are easy to find. She has world experience and the US is not a lone country anymore. I ask "anti-third way" what was bad about the issues DLC has determined, guess what, did not answer one issue, ergo, they don't know, just the chatter the third way is bad. The same ones says no one listens to them about the minimum wage issue, wrong, this is not a new surprise on the scene by progressives, it has been an issue for many years, in fact the first minimum wage was in 1947. They probably do not know the DLC is wanting to set up grants for college students, but again they say the DLC does not listen.

[hrmjustin]

22. I love her too. I was there the night of Super Tuesday.
