(7,759 posts)27. Really, she is our best chance against the GOP and she will pull the voters to vote down ticket.
I think it is time for the Dems to get out and begin to support her visibly and vocally. I love Bernie and he is good for generating the enthusiasm. However, if he doesn't get the nomination many of his group will NOT support Hillary but I really think a huge part of his following is from other than Dems. The right, including Mika and Joe, are doing all they can to make HRC a villain (spouse keeps turning them on in the am). That tell me they are still afraid and HRC is doing much better than they thought she would at this point so they have decided to help the anti-HRC crowd demean her.

If "the party" is defined as 'the party establishment' there is indeed no enthousiasm fade.

That's the ticket - let's make sure there are more superdelegates than actual delegates!

Super Delegates overriding the will of the people would be the death knell of the party..

Fair enough -- explain HOW, in real political terms, Sanders improves on that.
