Hillary Clinton Room Post-85%of the party wants Hillary to run.

Hillary Clinton room post

Who would Americans like to see on the campaign trail in 2016?

Jake Miller

This is an excerpt towards the end of the article.

Eighty-five percent of Democrats would like Clinton to dive in, while 11 percent want her to stay out.

Her closest competitor, Vice President Joe Biden, is sought by only 40 percent of Democrats. Thirty-eight percent want Biden to stay on the sidelines.

Twenty-three percent say Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a darling of liberal activists, should launch a bid, but 20 percent disagree.

her. Some are saying she wants the nomination without the primaries, the primaries are set up to get the platform and to sharpen the campaign skills of those running, it is needed, I don't want the Democrats to have a primary like the GOP did in 2010, we are smarter than doing stupid things.

history on who pulled who it will be Hillary has been left in her adult life, still is left and if anyone was pulled left it is Warren having come from the right. In fact in the standing on the issues both Hillary and Warren are in the same spot. I know we have had some posters who continually bash Hillary mostly with their cognitive dissonance tales which has been and will continually be proven incorrect but they are like a broken record, still run in the same track over and over. It is going to be an interesting primary. Hillary is right on the issues, I expect her to provide facts for the issues she feels are important in the primary, she is very good and will be getting better.

We have lost campaign finance regulation and a key section of the voting rights act. If the GOP controls the White House in 2016, then we will lose Roe v. Wade and a host of civil rights

civics classes to know how government works and getting more Conservatives on SCOTUS is never going to be good for Democrats. I may not be around to see the damage of a totally conservative SCOTUS but it will hurt lots.
