(18,265 posts)She went off the rails in 2007-2008.
Right after HRC lost in 2016, she gloated on the air that the third party candidates actually saved Hillary from losing by an even wider margin. (This was before the popular vote totals came in.)
She's toxic.

(11,801 posts)She spent '16 trying to get her elected. And spends every day dropping truth about the GOP. But that's not good enough! Not when there's Republican shills like Steve Schmitt and Anna Navarro saying things we like. It boggles the mind. Cumbaya for Republicans but fuck our own.

(11,801 posts)She is a bit hard to take, and she can be really rude to her callers, but the information and dot connecting she brings to the table make that shit trivial at best.

(8,710 posts)She was a Bernie supporter but did back Hillary when she became the nominee. She can be a little crude, but she sure has all the info. Between Randi and Rachel I feel like I get a handle on the news.
I pay for her podcast and I always download Randi and Rachel onto my iphone so i rarely miss one of their shows. I haven't listened to Randi yet today, but I'm going to play her podcast now while I clean my kitchen and I know I'll get so worked up, I will clean like a crazy person.

Glamrock
(11,801 posts)She was pushing Obama that whole election cycle. Last I checked, he was a Democrat. She was pushing to get Hillary elected in '16. The Democratic party isn't supposed to be a cult of personality. You don't have to support every Democrat to support the Democratic party. And no, when she made that statement, at a comedy show, Hillary was not the Democratic nominee. Like it or not, like her or not, she goes on every day and pushes a progressive agenda. Yes she is one of our own. She faithfully pushes our agenda. Every. fucking. day. Just because you disagree with a statement or two doesn't erase that fact.

(68,576 posts)listened to her since...she is one of those who influenced voters against Democrats.
Glamrock
(11,801 posts)It was a primary. She fully supported Obama, he's a Democrat.
Demsrule86
(68,576 posts)Clearly, Hillary had won the nomination at that time. She is not a Democrat and actively worked against Hillary...I remember on You Tube seeing her schtick about Comey's report tooan excerpt from her show...I don't care for her. I support Democrats. She is not helpful.
Glamrock
(11,801 posts)I do. She was pushing for Hillary every day. I heard it. Pretty much every day. And besides, if the only people you want on your side are people who love Hillary, well.... Good luck with that.
Glamrock
(11,801 posts)Again, not the Democratic nominee. Once Hillary won the primary, Randi fell in line like most of the Bernie supporters.

(6,235 posts)Ignoring the right wing trolls and listening to Randi since 1998!
You know she is effective since they clamor to lie about her.
We seem to have some very selective listeners on here, they only listen for the bad and neglect the good.
Randi's speech about HRC was a stand up comedy routine during HRC's 1st run for president. Randi (like the majority who voted during the primary, myself included) was an Obama supporter.
In the 2016 primaries, she was a Bernie supporter. However, she told her audience that even though, in her opinion HRC is a flawed candidate, not to vote 3rd party because that's throwing the election to Trump. She used her platform to point out the issues with Trump and pleaded with the Bernie or busters to go out and vote for HRC.
Even though I was a strong HRC supporter this election cycle, I've heard nothing from Randi that would've stopped me from listening to her. I don't always agree with her. I especially don't agree with her about Bernie. However, her show is very informative and needed during this Trump error. She is very astute and spot on with her analysis. Randi, Rachel and Lawrence are my daily must listen. I've been listening to Randi since I was a teen. She's awesome.
