and it is a very long time before the election. Many, many things can (and most likely will) happen. It may indeed be HRC or it may be someone else, time will tell.

Same Sex Marriage
Health Care
SCOTUS
Women's issues including abortion and wages

you are telling me that that any Republican would push the same agenda as HRC?

There’s not a pinch of difference between Scott Walker, Ted Cruz or Chris Christie..?
You might say Jeb Bush? I would trust Bush as high as I can pole vault. Which is 0 ft..

Everyone of the fuckers I mentioned are all flat out stupid, bigoted, self righteous, assholes.

Voting against Hillary in the primary will eventually be a vote for one of these jerks.

Warren isn’t running and Sanders will be labeled an old Kremlin Communist who has one leg in the grave.. That’s how the Repubs. will frame it,,

Any other ideas..(Progressive Dems) that you mention will get their asses kicked..
Fund Raising will be impossible for any other Dems. you have in mind..

I'm baffled which is which because crap like NAFTA, CAFTA, repealing glass steagal, fighting unions, voting for the Iraq war, the patriot act, mums the word on wiretapping, and on and on it goes till regular guy dems can't tell the bloodsuckers apart.

Leaving the SCOTUS as the only reason left, and that one keeps getting weaker.

ignorant republican/right wing politicians is ridiculous.. Bringing snowballs on to the Senate floor the hate and venom they show towards our POTUS. These people are dangerous and are multiplying . We all know that Clinton fucked up triangulating with Repubs back in the 90s.. But this new situation were in? Is actually very frightening.. We need to elect and support the Dem, who has the best chance of winning in 2016 and right now it looks like MS. Clinton..

The planets are about to align for those SOB's.

Thanks in large part to the Clinton's.

Sending another conservative to the white house will suck, whether that is a D or an R won't matter.

No one has been nominated yet for either party. I'm going to wait, and hope and pray that some alternative steps forward in the next 18 months or so. HRC or a generic republican is not the only choice.

It is either the Democratic nominee or a Republican as the next POTUS.

Seeing as we have no declared candidates yet, I'm far from ready to say it will be one undeclared person or the other.

a teflon problem; she doesn't have any of that essential political quality. EVERYTHING- true or not- sticks to her. And she isn't a very good politician. She really isn't "likable enough".
