Who is Hillary's "If we were Republicans I would already be the nominee" line supposed to appeal to?

[DefenseLawyer]

Even if it is factually true, what's her point? Is she going after the "Democrats that yearn to be more like Republicans" demographic? I'm just a caveman, but I don't get it.

[NJmaverick]

1. She is saying if the Democrats were Republicans she would be the nominee

[DefenseLawyer]

4. Well she is saying that if we had winner take all primaries like Republicans

she would be the nominee. I get that. I'm just not sure why that is a selling point to Democrats.

[rinsd]

11. No, she is saying if the Dem primary was run as the GOP primary she woudl be winning.

But as has been pointed out, if the Dem primary were run as the GOP primary, caampaign startegies would have differed.

[olkaz]

2. Triagulation: Her weapon of first resort.

And the reason why I have not supported her.

[lyonn]

8. Triangulation is what bush has done for 8 years

Now we know that they don't want us to know shit. Talk in circles while trashing their fellow dem and not the repubs. Lordy, do we ever learn? She hasn't had the lead at any point that I recall so how would repub rules help her?

[Why Syzygy]

14. yeah .. if a Republican lost ELEVEN primaries in a row, I don't think they would be the Republican

nominee. I think this is more lies.

[TBF]

3. Heh. How dare you challenge the Queen?

[lisa58]

5. her supporters...

...the ones who need any excuse to say she's winning, will win or won.

[hughee99]

6. Then she should have run in the repuke primary. n/t

[jezebel]

7. Republican superdelegates? She's hoping Rush Limbaugh can create some to save the day. nt

[rinsd]

9. She was referring to the winner take all nature of GOP primaries.

[DefenseLawyer]

17. Duh. That wasn't the question.

I know what she means. My question is, who is she trying to appeal to by making the argument, essentially, that we should be more like Republicans?

[rinsd]

20. As an appeal, it is probably targeted at the Superdelegates.

Who have been griping about our primary system whether about proportional delegates, bonus delegates, caucus vs primary or even their own roles.

Many Democrats are frustrated with the system we currently have.

[LoZoccolo]

10. I think she's trying to imply that "identity politics" is causing all this division.

The demographics of the Republican Party are much more homogenous.

[L0oniX]

12. Depends on what the meaning of "if" is.

[Texas Hill Country]

13. shows how dumb our primary system is.

[DefenseLawyer]

18. Just how is "winner take all" a preferable way to choose delegates?

Do tell. I'm all ears.

[Independent-Voter]

15. Her low-information base perhaps?

[TexasObserver]

16. It's suppose to be another talking point for media and her minions.

Or, maybe it's wishful thinking on her part. "If only she'd stayed a Republican in name as well as action" sort of thing.

[BlooInBloo]

19. The true picture of Clinton, and of her supporters, who wish we were more republican-like.

[DrFunkenstein]

21. If We Were Republicans, We'd Hear Alot More About the Blue Dress

I'm glad that she has extended her neo-conservative militarism to wishing to be more Republican in the virtues of determining nominees.

[golddigger]

22. Then by your own words we must be Republicans. All the vile shit

slinging right-wing posts hurdled at the Clinton's on here lately, you would think this freeperville.
