In reply to the discussion: Tens of thousands to leave Democratic party the day after their primaries in protest [View all]earthside
(6,960 posts)If (heaven forbid) Mrs. Clinton is the nominee of the Democratic party, well, the choice will be between a Rockefeller Repuglican and a Tea Party Repuglican.
Not much of a choice.
Of course, the smarmy, snarky, conceited attitude of the Hillarians will only exacerbate her electoral problem ... arguing that anyone who doesn't fall for this 'lesser of two evils' fear-mongering is a moron is one reason why many Sander supporters won't ever vote for Hillary.
"Get on board" in spite of the kind of love between Hillary and the big monied special interests indicated in the chart isn't a very persuasive point in favor of the elite multimillionaire Mrs. Clinton.
Democrats are headed into real trouble ... this turnout for primaries vis-a-vis the Repuglicans is disturbing. The biggest two things that accounts for it, in my estimation, is lack of any enthusiasm among rank-and-file Democrats for Hillary; and the insistence on this "The Inevitable One" meme -- why vote if it isn't going to matter in the end?
Hillarians are going to let their arrogance lead the Democrats to a big defeat in November -- HER is not inevitable -- no matter how stridently they may now insist.
