Reply #42: yes that should suffice [View All]

but since extremism seems to have the floor, i just thought i'd pose the question."what is likely to happen in reality" not DU reality where hillary gets nothing, and she and bill are run out the democratic party. i'm sure you've seen the posts of that ilk here in gdp.
i just wanted to see what the replies might be to that question.

it's not really a straw man argument unless you're willing to work under the assumption that many obama supporters are actually not very politically aware. since this is a political forum i would expect a majority of the participants to have at least some knowledge of politics. it's not realistic to think the clintons are going to be punished by the dnc. it's not realistic to think hillary will get nothing. she won't be the nominee, and she probably won't be the veep choice, but she has enough horse power to weather a primary loss.
