Hillary Clinton Room Post-PUMA

Hillary Clinton Room Post

I am getting sick and tired of hearing about 2008 PUMA's. Clinton supporters overwhelming voted for President Obama because we like him and we are Democrats.

I have not seen one Hillary supporter on this site THIS election cycle say that they will not support the nominee, but have seen plenty of people saying they will not vote for Hillary if she he wins. That is PUMA and it is wrong.

PUMA was wrong in 2008 and it is wrong today. Those who throw around the PUMA card should look at who is thd real PUMA today.

Posted in the HRC room which is for supporters only.http://election.democraticunderground.com/?com=about&forum=1107

Why?
1. I'm a Democrat
2. I didn't want Romney
3. I am reasonable, practical and above all REALISTIC. I live in the real world.

as a wedge between women and Obama. I even remember the refusals to vote for Obama.

The statements that they will refuse to vote Hillary Clinton that I have seen come from the Progressive wing of DU who are up in arms that bonafied "Progressive" has not come forward.

I hope it is just hyperbole that will settle down once we actually know all the people who are running for the office.

I look forward to the official start of the campaign when we can compare polices rather than identities.
