In reply to the discussion: What did Hillary think after Senator Byrd gave this speech? [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)It was a great one. A prescient one.
No comment on HRC. I am yet not taking a political stand on the 2016 election. It is too damned early to do so.
R& for the Byrd speech, though. I hope everybody watches it.
On the other hand, if you meant this OP only as an attack on a Democratic presidential candidate I would remind folks that lowering an opponent does absolutely nothing to raise your preferred candidate. I would hope, after decades of fighting mean-spirited GOP politics, that DUers would understand that.
That is why I have not and will not endorse a Democratic 2016 candidate here, nor malign one, until one is nominated. Then, they will have my unbridled support.
Too many petty, childish posts here. It is nearly 18 fucking months until the election. Some here need to stop acting like two year olds.
Work for your candidate. Advocate for your candidate. But it is still a fucking year and a half until the fucking election! So stop panicking just because somebody else is running and might be perceived as the default winner or inevitable loser!
This childishness is worrisome.
Relax. Take a breath! Somebody else running is not a threat. It is an opportunity. Unlike the GOP, the Democratic Party does not employ clown cars. Embrace it.
Thanks for allowing my rant.
