Best thing Hillary is doing - Motivating her supporters for 2014

I have been very upset with Hillary earlier on because I got the impression she is forgetting 2014 comes first. I am glad I was wrong. In this case, give her her due. She is doing the right thing and she will reap benefits.

See her email.

Ready for Hillary

XXXX, you’re Ready for Hillary, but are you ready to vote in November?

The road to 2016 goes through 2014, so we need to do everything we can to help Democrats in critical races across the country this year.

It’s simple: If you’re Ready for Hillary in 2016, then you need to be Ready to Vote for Democrats in 2014!

Add your name to say you commit to vote this November.

Our movement is made up of millions of people like you who are showing Hillary that when she’s ready to run, we'll have her back. We can show her how strong and how committed our grassroots army is by mobilizing to help Democrats in every corner of the country.

Democratic incumbents and candidates are fighting for the kind of progress that Hillary would fight for if she runs and wins. So let's channel the power of this movement for Hillary into helping Democrats win this November.

Step one is sending the message that we’ll be coming out in force to the polls in November.

So add your name to say you’re Ready to Vote this fall:

Thanks. Let’s go!

majority any Democrat president is going to have a difficult time. I have heard she was planning to make a trip to Kentucky and hopefully there will be some more trips to aid other Democrat candidates. When it comes time for her to announce she will be out.

"Without a Democrat majority any Democrat president is going to have a difficult time."

Lets say it the way a Democrat would say it, reather than sounding like a Republican throwing insults, "Without a Democratic majority any Democratic president is going to have a difficult time."

Republicans use "Democrat President" as an insult. They deliberately misuse the name of our party as a disparagement. Why does one of our own want to imitate that?

Member of the DNC is a Democrat, look it up. Are you a member of the DNC, then you are a Democrat also.

"Democrat" is a noun. The adjective form of Democrat is "Democratic." Do you speak English? I am done with this utterly ridiculous agrument. If you are one of those people who will never admit error, live on in ignorance.

with all due respect ... Do you really want to detract/distract from the poster's message (that you presumably agree with) over an error in grammar?

Republicans like to display contempt for the Democratic Party by pretending that they have so little regard for us that they cannot be bothered to learn the proper usage of the name of our party. Thus they use the impromer address of the "Democrat Congress" and the "Democrat President." We don't need that same disrepect from our own side.

It is depressing to me that our party is dependent for support from people who actually take pride in a profound and invincible ignorance, and who cannot even be bothered to learn the proper form of address for members of our own party.

"Democrat President" is modifying a noun with a noun. "Democratic President" is modifying a noun with an adjective. What part of that is so difficult? It's basic English.

I am a Democrat because I am a member of the Democratic Party. I am not a member of the Democrat Party because there is no Democrat Party. There is no Democrat President because one noun cannot modify another noun. Thats why we have a Democratic President, because the adjective form of our name is "Democratic," not "Democrat."

Republicans like to pretend that they don't care what our name is, and that's why they call our President a "Democrat President." It's because they are ignorant and srupid. If you want to be as ignorant and stupid as a Republican, and display that you do not know what the adjective form of our name is, and to modify a noun with a noun, then continue to refer to President Obama as a "Democrat President."

If your name was Schmidt and someone insisted on calling you Smith, you would think that was cute? If you corrected them and their reply was that they don't care what your name actually is, or how you want to be addressed, they will use the name for them that they wish to use, you would be pleased by that?

Using the improper name for a person or organization, calling them by a name that is incorrect, is rude and insulting. And that is how you choose to treat the party you claim to be supporting? I am a Democrat, a member of the Democratic Party, and you are insulting my organization by addressing it in the manner that Republicans do, and insisting that such is the way you want to address it.

You are just pathologically incapable of admitting that you made an error.
