Reply #84: Try to imagine DU if Hillary is the nominee of the party. [View All]

[TexasObserver]

Assuming the stated RULE takes priority, then the place becomes one big Hillary camp, and either the 90% who despise her leave, or they stay and support her. They're not going to support her. They may not vote for McCain, but they won't vote for her. At least that is my impression from reading this board. In many ways, Hillary is a bigger threat to DU than to the Democratic party, although her continuing attempts to steal the nomination do threaten both.

Fortunately, she's not going to get the nomination, so all we'll lose are the people who are coming in under radar as faux Hillary supporters, and a few dozen hardcore Hillary supporters.

There's nothing progressive about Hillary, which is the word I most associate with DU. The DLC is what Democrats look like without progressive in their mix.
