1. Like that'll happen. Look, I support Bernie, but if Hillary gets the nod, I'll support her.....

can you make the reciprocal promise? If not, the above claim probably has a lot more resonance than it truly deserves.

3. This is the Hillary Clinton room.

[marble falls]

11. Yes, and I have nothing bad to say about her. I certainly want to keep up on who is....

seen the most probable Democratic candidate and therefor the next President of the United States.

I certainly have no problem with Hilary Clinton as our next President. I am a senior citizen and I admit, I think Bernie is a bit long in the beard for the job. I am surprised how the last two years have shown themselves on our President. I think Hillary Clinton has the stamina to do the eight years. All the "hidden" e-mails proved was how connected to her parvenu of the State Department she was and how in control she was.

I think the released e-mails show what a good choice she was for SOS. I am sure that's the biggest revelation Teapublicans will derive from them.

Trust me, when Hillary Clinton gets on the ballot, I will have not the slightest hesitation voting for her or supporting her election.

12. Fair enough but we prefer to keep that will you vote for Sanders out of this room.

Thank you for participating in this room and welcome.

I don't mean to come off as a hall monitor.

5. Hey, Marble we have had several post on whether we will vote fo the DNC nominee and responded with

yes we will vote for the nominee. I have seen some post if Hillary is the nominee they will hold their nose, sit out the election or just plain no. What do you think about these responders.

[marble falls]

13. I didn't mean to beg a given. I was responding to the title not the group....

Honest. I have no animus against Hillary Clinton and won't be offering up any topics or initiating any debates.

I am sorry I stepped out of line.

Do I need to make any deletions in the interest of keeping the peace?

As I've written and my friend Boston Bean can tell you, I do not sit out elections, I do not vote third party, I do not write in except in local elections where the Republican or Libertatian run unopposed and they are asses. I am not going to hold my nose voting Democratic against the clown car even if somehow, some way, some weird bizarro alternate world Charlie Crist would be the Democratic nominee I would still support him. Because if I'm staying home not voting the Democratic candidate, I'm staying home not voting for the state and local candidates, too.

I cannot imagine voting in protest, or staying home. I'll have my Clinton bumper sticker on the day after the convention. And living in Burnet county, Texas - that's saying something.

[Thinkingabout]

15. I am in Harris County, perhaps I took your question

can you make the reciprocal promise? If not, the above claim probably has a lot more resonance than it truly deserves.

I have read other post they are going to sit out the election, but would not vote for Hillary. This could be posts by RW trolls or other party affiliations.

We don't need to sit out elections if we are going to be able to turn Texas back to blue.

[marble falls]

17. Without doubt, when Hillary Clinton gets the nod, I will support her with no reservations.

[Thinkingabout]

18. This is good, thanks.

2. The GOP would love to have Bernie as the DNC nominee. They even give a clue on how they will

run against him in the general with "Bernie Sanders, the socialist U.S. senator from Vermont"

8. But but but all the Bernistas say

That Bernie calling himself a Socialist is a big plus- really, that once people hear the explanation it won't matter. Whistling past the graveyard is more like it.

[Thinkingabout]

16. Just from their National Review article we see where the first line of attacks

Will be, huh

[hrmjustin]

4. The gop will do anything to take her down.

[Gothmog]

6. The conservatives on Discussionist are also supporting Sanders

This thread is amazing http://www.discussionist.com/1015472960

[freshwest]

7. It's not like nearly $1B has to wait until the general. It's being spent now.

For our side, demoralize and suppress the vote. For their side, provide circus acts until the prom date is picked. The strategy is destructive but it's been proven sound. We won't vote. They will vote. Repeat.

[savalez]

21. That's interesting.

I never thought of it that way. I guess that's the beauty (or ugliness) of Marketing. It's going on all around you whether you know it or not.

9. I posted this just yesterday

Yup, it serves the Right very well, to mock and disenfranchise possible voters for the candidate that they fear the most in the upcoming elections....and that's not Bernie.

Bernie is highly unllikely to win a General Election against a Republican, so it behoves the Right (or far left pretenders) to make the Herculean effort to get Bernie through the Primaries. I've read on several RW sites that where there are open Primaries, they will vote for Bernie as a fulfillment of that strategy.
People are not persuaded by what we say but rather by what they understand

[Cha]

10. Yes, it serves the rw well.. they'll try anything to worm and squirm their way into the WH.

Not. Gonna. Happen.

I'm voting for Hillary because I think she's the best candidate for our country now, though.. not bc I'm concerned Bernie won't win the GE.

[OhZone]

14. I wonder what percentage of Bernie supporters here -

are really GOP plants.

Oh well.

In any case, I don't think he'll win more than one or two states and more likely none.

I love him though.

But I prefer Hillary.

[murielm99]

19. I believe that this behavior,

the smears against Hillary and the screaming support of Bernie, will create a backlash.

Democrats who are undecided will see this and decide to support Hillary. They will not want to be associated with the haters, screamers and faux progressives who are shouting for Bernie. Birds of a feather. Many people will see that a number of the so-called supporters are doing this to weaken the Democrats.

We are smarter and stronger than conservative detractors.

[savalez]

22. That crossed my mind.

Is the barrage of BS posts and rah rah support really supposed to get people onboard? I don't know if that's a good tactic. Personally I'm waiting for the debates.

[SunSeeker]

20. K & R for exposure. nt

[restorefreedom]

23. I don't think we should be taking strategy advice from the GOP

they definitely don't want a dem in office, and I think they have particular hatred for Bernie, Hillary, and Joe.

we should focus on a clean primary and then kicking their sorry butts in the general. i know this read is upsetting, but honestly, i consider the national review to be rush in a nicer suit.
