present her in a positive light. Actually, she should completely deny her gender, because we want a level playing field for the guys running against her. Those are the "rules" don't you know.

I really don't know how those people will cope after she gets the nomination. Maybe they'll turn Republican, lol! After all, they keep saying that electing Hillary would be the most horrible thing that could happen to this country.

Is there a pool yet on the number of anti-Clinton thread? We need to guess at the number of anti-Hillary threads and do an over and under pool.

I would just use the poll function and give voters the opportunity to vote for over or under or 15 threads

But that may be due to the DU outages.

know that Hillary is a woman and, if elected, the first woman. It's self-evident, IMO. And if she'll select the first Hispanic/Tejano as VP, I'll give her a pass.

acknowledge and surely respect, even if not politically smitten. For that alone, she deserves respect.

OK to disagree...I do on a number of issues...but since there will never be a perfect candidate...she's what's up right now for Democrats.

the running mate, who is certain to be male, for VP or who wants to move up in the party. One thing we know, it will be one for the books, so to speak.

...I don't think people care much anymore about what the media says about her being tired, old, corrupt, etc... they've cried wolf too many times. She's still standing. That being said, I welcome Dems to challenge her and will happily support the Dem nominee!

Probably needs an OP but I am off to an appointment. Enjoy.





and while those of us here in the HRC room might enjoy it many of the so-called progressives on DU (who are really Paulites and have been here since 2007) while be crying foul

They would never be quiet. As much as they repeat their talking points over and over, nothing new but they still do not have anyone who comes close to Hillary.
