New Haven
New Haven's JournalThank you Jim---I am OLD White and screaming liberal at age 67
and have always voted Democratic----I think the one thing about Democratic men is that they seem to be on the right side of history a lot more often than Republicans ----you don't see any of this social diatribe coming from the Democratic Party-----on this blog you don't see the idiotic threats that are so frequent of the Tea party sites ----yeah we have had our whackos ---but the long and short of it is that we are loyal to the team----and we don't have party leaders that preach divisiveness----we are pretty much "big tent" ---we will vote for Hilllary
I am with you on this Beacool and i hope SKP gets on board too---ur invited
But not just EW ----I think Wendy Davis is a heroine-----she took on those good ol boys in Texas and deserves a seat at the National table-------I think there are some great Latinos coming up in Arizona that will just turn the tide (from Red to Blue) in that state
I have not seen any polls ---that show Elizabeth Warren to be a contender ----I am quick to admit that she is a national player though-------but this is a time to galvanize our party----Hillary yielded to Obama for the election and thereafter and it puts her on this stage today-------and I can't wait to see what happens to Rush Limbaugh when she gets in----come on SKP ---we can't let guys like Trent Lott sully Hillary and not give her a day in the sunshine-----
Could you accept a Bush/Cheney administration?
Cheney's daughter is running for the Senate in Wyoming-----she might upset a long time Republican there ----they have no conscience-----so that is Sen Cheney in 2014--------then Jeb Bush runs for president and makes Sen Cheney his running mate----I can understand your dislike for Clinton----but we desperately need to grow the Democratic presence in our elected officials---then ---we foment change
The Why--Hillary in 2016
The team that she will assemble in 2016 is just about unbeatable. First of all, heading it up is her husband Bill who really showed how likable and powerful he was at the 2012 Democratic Convention. There was no headliner at the Republican convention that came close to him. The Clinton's are seasoned politicians and know exactly how to run a campaign. There was a lot of talk about surrogates in the last election, how each of them hit an integral segment of the voting populace and the assembly for 2016 is awesome. Barack and Michele Obama owe the Clinton's a lot. They, and their entire team, will be on hand to support them. They have made great inroads to the Latino vote and most immigrants, not to mention their GOTV efforts in the black community. They alone are an extremely powerful entity that will be backing the Clinton's.
The women vote coming from the entire country will be overwhelmingly for Hillary. In this election Republican women will vote for Hillary more than they have ever voted for a Democratic candidate. First of all, it is an empowering act to make sure that a woman is finally elected President in this country. Second of all the Republican “war on women” is very real to Republican women and the extreme right scares them. Any reader here knows what I am talking about. And Hillary is white, Republican women found it hard to vote for a black man, but Hillary doesn’t have that in her profile.
Her posture as a world figure trumps all of the other candidates that the Republicans can muster. She has made a lot of friends around the world that are long and strong.
Finally, she is smarter than all of them put together. I am such a supporter of her that I don’t want to talk about her ruthless side----she will win this one!
When we look at the horrible mess and message that is coming from the Republican side we need a landslide vote for her, and Congress. With the current Republican House and filibustering Senate we need to get our country back on a good track.
