Voting for Hillary is abandoning all progressive values, too. djean111 Feb 2016 #14
Again, nonsense Nonhlanhla Feb 2016 #17
Well, it has not come to the GE yet, has it? djean111 Feb 2016 #21
This thread is about the GE nt. Nonhlanhla Feb 2016 #66
This section of DU is about the primaries, not the GE. djean111 Feb 2016 #73
Actually, if you read my post Nonhlanhla Feb 2016 #91
It is ridiculous Rebkeh Feb 2016 #85

We basically agree on that Nonhlanhla Feb 2016 #95
To be honest, I sincerely doubt that anyone at DU seriously thinks, at this point, that they can djean111 Feb 2016 #102

So some people tell themselves. GoneFishin Feb 2016 #144
The middle hates her. Barack_America Feb 2016 #67
A real concern, those that stay home and don't vote because they don't totally like the RKP5637 Feb 2016 #87
Really? So people who stay home and don't vote for Trump are also voting for the Dem nominee by GoneFishin Feb 2016 #149
It's all in the math! n/t RKP5637 Feb 2016 #163

Trump won't lose any votes because his voter base eats that stuff up. tarheelsunc Feb 2016 #81
