Wow - It's still 2013 and the Warren/Hillary DU schism/shitstorm is on

[jpak]

[gopiscrap]

1. How about a Clinton/Waren ticket? or Warren/Clinton ticket?

[HappyMe]

2. How about a Warren/O'Malley or

O'Malley/Warren ticket?

Why does Clinton have to be in there at all?

[gopiscrap]

9. better yet

or how about a Sanders Warren ticket?

[Lizzie Poppet]

11. Warren/Wyden...or vice-versa.

That said, despite my misgivings about her "Third-Way-ness," I'll support Hillary over anyone the GOP comes up with.

[HappyMe]

17. If I have to, of course I'll vote for Clinton.

That doesn't mean that I have to have a ton of enthusiasm about it.

I did a quick google of Wyden. He sounds like a good guy.

[HERVEPA]

3. Proposing this indicates you just don't get the schism

[KittyWampus]

5. There isn't that much of a "schism". It's a difference of opinion… unless you're an ideolouge

who insists everyone agree with you as having the only 'true' opinion.

[HERVEPA]

7. Of course there is.

Is Elizabeth Warren on the board of Walmart? Is she a corporatist?
Did she speak up against the banksters when she was in the senate?
There's a world of difference. If you don't see it, you're not paying attention.

[KittyWampus]

19. IMO, in real terms, a difference of priorities on this or that issue doesn't make a "schism"

unless people are fundamentally opposed and/or unable to closing the gap after the election.

Further, I sincerely doubt a huge number of DU'ers who support Hillary Clinton for POTUS are 'pro-corporate' so when it comes to where people stand politically, there probably isn't a schism. Her supporters just don't see that as their defining issue.

It is highly unlikely I personally will get caught up in the fighting. I'm not a Hillary Fan and don't want her as POTUS. I could get enthused for Joe Biden.

[Whisp]

16. schism sounds like a dirty word. n/t

[Niceguy1]

29. Clinton/Warren

Is the way to go.

[KittyWampus]

4. How so? I've seen threads where people voice opinions. But nothing ugly or shitstorm about it.

The only stupid thing I've seen is Warren signing a note urging Hillary to run is a "Clinton plot".

But that seem pretty mild.

[alcibiades_mystery]

6. As an Obamabot "pom pom carrying" "cheerleader" "cultist," I admit that I will truly enjoy

the "schism."

Putting my feet up and grabbing the popcorn. It's gonna be hilarious.

[Whisp]

20. You forgot Stasi-bot and Authoritarian.

[alcibiades_mystery]

25. It will be interesting to see people who have made moronic common cause at each others throats

I may even have to take some people off ignore just to catch the fireworks.

[ProSense]

23. Well, the Obama Presidency is already over.

It actually ended the day he won re-election. Dismay by some is likely driving the 2016 wars.

[AgingAmerican]

27. What 2016 wars?

nt

[geek tragedy]

35. We paid our dues. Let someone else engage in the battle

wherein "candidates struggle to explain how they're different on policies."

Of course, the last time there was such overlap over policies, the end result was our guy demagoguing the mandate issue in a way that turned out to be not so useful . . .

[bluedeathray]

8. You would almost think there's an intellectual aspect to this...

And people here realize that Hillary Clinton, if elected, is NOT going to do what's needed in this country.

[jpak]

10. Has either declared their intention to run?

[bluedeathray]

30. Heck no!

Wouldn't that destroy the theatre? The pageantry? The awe inspiring flatulence?

[Nine]

12. It serves no purpose.

At least wait till one of them declares. Sheesh.

[Nye Bevan]

13. How about that rumor that Hillary might pick a moderate Republican as her running-mate?

Kind of like how McCain thought about picking Lieberman, but in reverse?

That should certainly lock up the centrist vote.

[jpak]

14. My sources say she will choose Paul Ryan - just to piss off Biden

[William769]

15. I don't know why, Hillary has not announced and Warren said she is not running.

[Whisp]

21. Warren has not announced and Hillary said she is not running.

same dif.

[William769]

22. One big difference, my statement is true.

[LuvNewcastle]

33. Warren has already endorsed Hillary, who is trying to build a groundswell

of support before she announces, and she's going to announce. I don't support Hillary at all, but another alternative will have to be found besides Warren. People rarely take back endorsements and enter the race afterwards.

[William769]

37. Yes I understand that.

I myself am a huge Hillary supporter. (I'm just trying to hold onto the olive branch as longs as possible. )

[L0oniX]

18. Silly DU. The next president will be one of the two that the 1% select as candidates.

[longship]

24. Utter Silliness. Clinton hasn't committed and Warren already said, "No."

Plus, it's three fucking years from now. We won't know for sure who's running until the end 2015.

What a waste to actually be arguing about something so fucking silly.

"But... But... But if Elizabeth Warren changes her mind..."

And if my grandmother had wheels she'd be a wagon.

[AgingAmerican]

26. Wishful thinking

[Vashta Nerada]

28. It would be nice if 2014 happened first.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

31. 2016 is so far off that I can't take

any drama that seriously.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

32. It's the usual Left vs Right shitstorm.

[LuvNewcastle]

36. The very same.

It's the Democrats versus the Republican social moderates.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. I have an election a week from now

This is the kind of message control that makes politics so alienating for regular folks. Those doing it though, don't care.
