I honestly believe he won't appeal to a majority of voters (either in the Democratic Party or the general election). That's not denigrating Bernie (who I love). It's just my assessment of the reality.Ted McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035498835671628943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24213446.post-17281710963728640472015-05-27T17:40:20.224-05:002015-05-27T17:40:20.224-05:00I thought it was silly, and slanted to denigrate H...I thought it was silly, and slanted to denigrate Hillary Clinton.

I simply said I don't think he can win. I respect Bernie, and I have no problem with him (or anyone else) being a candidate. In fact, I think I show a lot more respect for Bernie on this blog than you do for Hillary Clinton on your blog. But that's Ok.

And same for Warren. I think the ruthlessness of Hillary is better to fight the rePUKEians and have people like Warren & Bernie help keep her on target and honest.L.Longnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24213446.post-26431967232486157892015-05-27T04:39:37.001-05:002015-05-27T04:39:37.001-05:00His support has doubled since his announcement (un...His support has doubled since his announcement (unless you consider the Fox news poll you added to your graphic, of course). As for money, Hillary Clinton didn't say how much she raised in the first few days of her campaign announcement, did she?<br /><br />She should have plenty of Super PAC dough, though. Not to mention all of the <a href="http://thehill.com/regulation/international/243089-hillary-clinton-facing-criticism-over-international-weapons-deals" rel="nofollow">Foundation millions from foreign nations for war machines</a>.<br /><br />You really don't want a challenger in the primary. Very undemocratic, don't you think?<br /><br />And what if President Clinton named the equivalent of GHWB's David Souter -- a slam dunk conservative, according to John Sununu. There goes that argument down the toilet.<br /><br />I would think you'd be more comfortable about Clinton's prospects without having to run down Sanders so much. Sanders isn't playing that tear-down game; maybe you've noticed. <br /><br />I just don't know, Ted. Maybe you should go back to posting more of the Clinton family portraits from thirty years ago.PDiddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05851660342241127485noreply@blogger.com
