The greatest myth being pushed by the anti-Hillary crowd

is that she has no grass roots support among Democrats.

Really? Currently 79% of Dems have a favorable impression of Clinton. Compare that with 37% for Warren, 21% for Bernie Sanders13% for Jim Webb and 64% for Biden. She's the front runner for a reason. People like her and support her!

I am a liberal Democrat and I support Hillary and think racism exists everywhere in America, is it safe to post here?



Anyway, heard Bernie on Thom Friday and sure sounds like he is not running, if he did I would work on his campaign but doesn't look good, which means it is getting close to time for ANYONE who claims to be a liberal or Democrat or both, to get ready to work for and support Hillary.

We're a very safe group for Hillary supporters. I love Bernie and Elizabeth, but they're probably not running, and, IMHO, couldn't win a general election in this country. Plus, both of them can do much good in the Senate. I dearly love Hillary (have since the 2008 primaries) despite all the irrational bashing going on in GD. I know she will make an absolutely awesome president!

commitment she may not have at least not for that job.

Running for prez of the US is the toughest job any person will ever do, ever.

I think she has even said she isnt a fan of campaigning

a few have already said that if she wins the nomination they will remain silent on the issue to avoid breaking the rules.

would bash our nominee, e.g. Hillary, when a Republican knuckle dragger is the other choice for president.

Some of them really want a choice and want to be sure their will be other primary candidates. Others are just about talk trash about Hillary.

I voted for Obama after Hillary left the race. And I was pretty mad at him. Now it upsets me when his former supporters tear him apart!

Numbers to pull a win for candidate. If they had a candidate with a good record they should be spending their time pushing the candidates record. Posting anti-Hillary rants over and over does not expose their candidate.
