How come almost everybody on here doesn't like Hillary? [View all] minivan2 Sep 2014 OP

Some say because she's a Clinton, others because she's a hawk. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #1

Nothing to do with her name. We need a real leader who doesn't have to consult the sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #17

In terms of recognition, the name is pretty important to some folks. NYC_SKP Sep 2014 #19

Okay, I misunderstood. Sorry about that! sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #27

Her policies and her links ti corporatists. mylye2222 Sep 2014 #114

Here is a very good reason to loathe her. JEB Sep 2014 #3

And more reason's that she's not suitable. GoneOffShore Sep 2014 #34

Many reasons, but many remain pissed off about her '02 vote for that fucking Iraq invasion/slaughter Arugula Latte Sep 2014 #4

It's kinda like the people who does not like broccoli, they never tasted it but have been told Thinkingabout Sep 2014 #5

Nope. The problem is that people *have* tasted Hillary. No more, please. n/t winter is coming Sep 2014 #24

some of us have had that broccoli shoved down our throats DonCoquixote Sep 2014 #26

Shoved down our throat, indeed. That's what they tried to do in 2007 & 2008 davidpdx Sep 2014 #69

Nice catch David DonCoquixote Sep 2014 #100

I agree davidpdx Sep 2014 #112

I will raise you one DonCoquixote Sep 2014 #113

No, it's more like people do not like the Bush Policies she supports. It's not that hard to figure sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #29

The "Bush Lied" excuse is in itself a lie. We at DU all knew he was lying. So did the Senate n/t arcane1 Sep 2014 #101

How did you come to the conclusion that almost everybody on here doesn't el_bryanto Sep 2014 #13

Most members are to the left of her on issues. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #14

No, they won't support her. If the party wants to LOSE, then she will be the nominee. sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #38

I am a bit confused, who are you saying won't support her if she wins the nomination? hrmjustin Sep 2014 #40

Well, let me put it this way. In the 2008 election I supported Obama once it came down to sabrina 1 Sep 2014 #63
