In reply to the discussion: All of this Hillary bashing is not going to end well. It might be fulfilling for some [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,406 posts)148. DU is just a discussion board that doesn't adequately reflect the party
Most Democrats I know in real life are pretty excited about Hillary possibly running in 2016. The amount of Hillary hate that seems to be getting posted here lately- for some reason or another- seems excessive. I have a few issues with her- like I did with Obama when he was running- but it's challenging to think of a stronger Democratic challenger at the moment for 2016. My biggest worry is actually that she might not run, which is why I hope she announces her decision soon so alternative challengers can start getting prepared for 2016 if she doesn't run herself.

Here's a thought, do you really believe the nonsense that you always write or do you do it for fun?

Well said; its called SELF-destruction for a reason. Hillary is her own worst enemy, tho Bill comes in a close second.

She'll plan for post-Super Tuesday. But she'll probably quit after finishing 3rd.

Hillary is in full campaign mode, so she should be scrutinized accordingly. The scrutiny she's gettin here will be pablum compared to what the Rethugs will dish out.
