In a watershed year for the Democrats - there is no need for ANY pandering or triangulating
The vast majority of public opinion has turned against Republicans and their policies and their war

They are losing Republican strongholds

They are divided among themselves and don't like their own candidate

They have a third party on their flank

Meanwhile, the Democrats have all the right positions: wind down war, healthcare, fairness in taxes, etc.

This year will be a DEMOCRATIC landslide regardless of who's at the top of the ticket.

In short, we don't need ANY candidate to be any more strategic than to be a good Democrat and move forward.

Therefore, I am rejecting Hillary's whole position that for some "strategic" reason she's the only one who can win. All this divisive talk of who's the ONLY one who can appeal to fill-in-the-blank group is just hogwash. The only ones benefitting are the radio and television pundits who will try to prolong the game as long as they can for ratings.

The game is over. We will win and we are just wasting valuable time right now.
