In reply to the discussion: I came over here to see if anyone posted that infuriating Barney Frank piece... [View all]quickesst
(6,280 posts)...and eloquently so. You have a very good, and well thought out grasp of politics. I on the other hand, am not so involved in the intricacies. I am a simple man who believes Clinton will be able to navigate the treacherous waters that is the republican party at this time. I believe, despite recent claims that republicans like, and respect Bernie, that if he is the nominee, or is elected to the presidency, they will come at him with everything they've got, ham-stringing him at every opportunity. It's not that Bernie is not ready for the presidency, it's that America is not ready for Bernie.
Again, let me say that if he is our nominee, I will support and vote for him. Given that he is by all accounts from his supporters, far more to the left than Hillary, I sincerely hope that he is ready for the shitstorm coming his way that will make the republican attacks on her look like a walk in the park.
And yes, I can see how Barney can grate on someone's nerves.
