Hillary Clinton Room. With Sanders in the race I hope people drop the Hillary is too old argument.

Hillary Clinton Room Post.




One can hope but we shall see.

1. Drop the Hillary argument? Not sure what you mean.

I am a big fan of Bernie and will support him until he no longer is in the race.

I trust him when he says he will UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES run against Hillary outside of the Dem party, and that means everything to me.

What that means is HE will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee, but evidently some of his supporters wont.

weird

[hrmjustin]

2. The Hillary is too old argument is used against her here.

Sanders is older.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

3. Oh that, no they wont drop it... watch

[hrmjustin]

6. Fixed the title. Thanks.

[leftofcool]

4. Don't bet on it. There will be a new meme.

"Bernie "looks" younger than Hillary" Besides, you know he is a man, right? No body on DU ever talks about a man being too old, ya know.

[hrmjustin]

7. I know. It is just disgusting how some use her age against her here.

[Starry Messenger]

5. Men are never too old, Justin.

Just look at Hollywood. Old for women is just code for "You are worth less."

[hrmjustin]

8. Yep. And no doubt people will continue the bogus argument she is too old here.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Well, perhaps the annointed one can end since someone finally announces.

We are ready for the primaries to begin. I will continue to push Hillary, giving her stand on the issues. She has experience and strength to do the job. She can match Bernie's record and show where she is better qualified.

[hrmjustin]

10. And she will show she has the best chance to win.

[Thinkingabout]

15. Continue to show she has the best chance to win.

[hrmjustin]

16. .

[HockeyMom]

11. Females are too old

Males never are.

[hrmjustin]

13. Sad that still persists today.

[Gothmog]

12. I would not hold my breath

[hrmjustin]

14. No i'm not either.

[Gothmog]

17. I am not worried about a primary contest

I am supporting HRC for a host of reasons including the fact that I think that she is not most qualified. Age is not a major downside or negative for either Sanders or HRC.

[hrmjustin]

18. Yeah I think a primary will make her stronger.

[Gothmog]

32. A primary and some debates will give her some debate prep

I doubt that Bernie will raise much money and will be relying on a shoe string type campaign with little paid staff.

[hrmjustin]

33. She gave a great speech today.

[OKNancy]

19. beat you to it by about an hour

but I buried it in a thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/11074342#post37
Shall we invade the Bernie group they want to start and call them names like some have done to the Obama and Hillary supporters.
Oh, and be all incensed if we get blocked?

I actually like Sanders just fine, but he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the nomination much less the general.
In DU world: Sanders = Kucinich

[hrmjustin]

20. Lol we could send strongly worded ATA messages to skinner complaining about the blocks.

[joshcryer]

21. I hope they focus energy on supporting Sanders.

Rather than bashing Clinton.

But they'll probably have enough energy to do both, unfortunately.

Would love for a clean race.

Ironically, other than probably TPP, she doesn't hold any positions to the right of Sanders at this point (she has already talked about wealth inequality and it will be a plank of her platform).

[AuntPatsy]

24. I hope so to

[shenmue]

36. They won't

[EileenFB]

22. I'm waiting to see the threads on main page

by the anti-Hillary people asking where is Bernie's comments about ----insert latest major news story----- that I saw Hillary subjected to even before she announced.

[hrmjustin]

23. Of course. The treatment will not be equal.

[MoonRiver]

25. It's very depressing to read this thread,

and realize how sexist so many on DU really are.

[Scootaloo]

26. It's a fucking dumb argument to use against any candidate

And those who engage in it ought to be ashamed and ignored.

Can I ask though, that it be reciprocated? 'Cause going after a candidate for their age, their hair, their faith is bogus going both ways, innit?

[hrmjustin]

27. Agree completely.

[johnp3907]

28. Too old only goes for women.

They also go on about her clothes and hair. Think they'll talk about Bernie's hair?

[hrmjustin]

29. They are.

[johnp3907]

30. Scary.

Shows what I know. A lot of the discourse around here is so childish.

[hrmjustin]

31. Yes it is.

Hope that it improves soon.

[johnp3907]

34. But not yet.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026591887

[hrmjustin]

35. Well i hope this runs it coarse.

[Cha]

37. Anti-Hillary posters had the nerve to bring up her age?! Hypocrites.
