(45,251 posts)I don't think she will want to run again in another 8 years, so I don't know what point she'd have to make this time.
Then again, in 2008, I didn't think she'd want to run again in 2016, so what do I know/

(6,994 posts)of Bernie gaining momentum after possible wins in IA and NH heading into NV and an advantage in SC since it is an open Primary then comes super Tuesday.
The video was to show Hillary is just as arrogant now as she was back in 2008 (watch the video) and also to show how Bernie is trending upward as was Obama in Feb 08 heading in to super Tuesday
if this offends you I will take it down

(23,156 posts)Even if Bernie gets 100% of the vote in the first four primaries/caucuses, and that's not going to happen.
At worst she will do well enough to justify continuing at least into April. Hopefully Bernie will wrap it all up by the end of that month, but even that's a very optimistic hope.
What we don't want is a resurgence of the PUMAs, but I'm sure they'll be back in full force.

(4,377 posts)They don't have the balls to even try it, and if they did it'd lead to the biggest electoral defeat in history.
roguevalley
(40,656 posts)and all of this because they can't get enough votes. What a loony trip this primary is. Beats the deaniac wars all to hell.

Despite what posters here (some claiming to be in the know) have been crowing about for a year.

(5,208 posts)There are some striking similarities between that character and Hill. Hope Bernie's aware of it.

(24,853 posts)The reasoning will be that he deserves no Democratic delegates because he's not a registered Democrat. The Clinton camp will attempt to walk away with EVERY delegate and then claim after the fact their win was unanimous.
Take that to the bank.

(51,076 posts)if she still has her health in 4 or 8 years you can bet she'll be back again. She wants that white house win badly. That part scares the shit out of me. She wants it for all the wrong reasons. Sanders on the other hand wants to win for the right reasons. He has a vision for our country. Anyone who can't see that we as a country are on the wrong path today are either blind or in denial. I want neither leading me anywhere.
Hillary will simply go to her grave believing she didn't loose but rather it was taken from her.
You want to see a huge turnout. Nominate Hillary for the Dem candidate and I'm here to say that the republiCONs will come out of the wood work, out from under the tombstones to vote against her. That you can take to the bank. I've not seen the hate towards her in anyone else in our history. Most either love her or hate her no in between to be had. Whether that hate is based on facts I don't know, I suspect not but I do know there is a lot of it out there.

(17,865 posts)And I have little doubt that, if Clinton happens to lose the primary, her supporters will have the sense and maturity to cast their votes for the remaining Democratic candidate.
If Sanders loses, I am less confident that his supporters, who've spent months passionately attacking Clinton, will recognize what's at stake and vote for her.

(80,708 posts)I do know, in the (unlikely, but by no means impossible) event that Sen. Sanders does get the nomination, a certain subset of her supporters are going to lose their shit in an epic fashion the likes of which.... can scarcely be imagined.
