Life in these United StatesBob Shrum was on the Ed Schultz radio show today,
so I have no transcript,
but that was the entire gist of the interview with Ed Schultz.
On what did he base this inevitability?
Because she has more money than anybody else.
Ed Schultz and Bob Shrum both agreed that she was "Clearing the Beaches" and quietly securing the funding from all the big sources.
No issues or policies were mentioned.
Nothing was said about who or what she would represent.
Nothing was mentioned about the direction of the Democratic Party,
or Hillary's Platform, track record, or past performance,
only that all the Big Money was already in her bag for The WIN.
I found Bob Shrum's announcement based solely on The MONEY to be both frightening,
and probably true.

(84,711 posts)"left overs" who are looking to continue the gravy and spices of power.
This is not surprising except as revelation of the Greed & Graft of US Politics...but it wears thin "these days" amongst some of us who have a long history with our Democratic Party.
They seem to think "Life Goes On"....while there's a Wicked Brew of Resistance boiling up...that they are just CLUELESS about!
Maybe...in the end...they will be correct to ignore the VOICES OF PROTEST...or maybe things will end up as a surprise for them.
It remains to be seen...how all works out...but, DAMN ....Aren't they an ARROGANT/ENTITLED Group of FOLKS!

(1,329 posts)Doesn't anybody remember 2007 and 2008? Tweetie crowning Hillary as president before the first primary,
all the talking heads saying she had it in the bag? It ain't over til its over. The person who may beat Hillary
Clinton won't make an appearance til the later part of this or next year.

(15,435 posts)I'm kind of getting tired of having "A" Candidate chosen FOR ME before I even get to vote! Already the largest Union is backing her!! Frankly, she wasn't my choice way back when and now it seems what I think isn't going to matter!
Also, I don't think any Union should be backing ANY candidate this far in advance! I don't think it makes the Democratic Party look very intelligent if we're going to do what Repukes do and just become SHEEPLE!!
What a smack down for anyone else who might want to have a go at it. Kind of not so small "d" democratic IMO! And yes, I did just use all those exclamation marks!!
