(13,685 posts)She can't win. She has way too much baggage and way too many powerful enemies.
She lost in 2008 because she voted to invade Iraq. And now this Syria stuff and Libya ..... well, she did it to herself.
DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)One of the below posters said I was getting ahead of the idea that some have that they wish she would go. This is an example. Despite the fact I sympathize with you, I know she is not going anywhere. THAT was the point of this OP.

(146,339 posts)This is silly. Why would the clear front-runner in every national poll drop out of the race?
NanceGreggs
(27,820 posts)... you're in the wrong place.

(146,339 posts)It's sad that logic isn't valued here.

(53,093 posts)All the fantasies about what you all would like to see happen are meaningless except for what they say about yourselves.
MineralMan
(146,339 posts)Indeed they are. If you think they help some other candidate, you are sadly mistaken. They actually damage the candidate you prefer. Is that what you want to do?

(146,339 posts)HRC is not going to withdraw. Why on earth would she?
1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)I suspect she won't. But that won't stop a segment of DU/the internet to float the speculation.
Again, I think Don was getting ahead of the delusional curve.
DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)hell, we even had one of the people wishing for such right in this very thread.
DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)this post was meant to show why the people who want her to back out are not getting anything. For people to read this as me wishing she would go is wrong, I am saying that is NOT even remotely possible.
BooScout
(10,406 posts)It is offensive.
MineralMan
(146,339 posts)completely before replying. My reply stands as written.
BooScout
(10,406 posts)Absolutely full of vitirol.
DonCoquixote
(13,616 posts)Because I do not want a repeat of Nader. I have said so on my posts, and had friends yell at me for it.
Are you also asking that I have to pretend to be happy about it? I am a grown up, which means I can accept things I am unhappy about. But just because you have my vote on election day (which really, is all that matters in the end) does not mean I have to smile and pretend enthusiasm. Granted, I hope Hillary surprises me: nothing would make me happier.

(49,431 posts)When posters state, "Hillary's a warmonger" who the hell are they trying to "con"vince"?
Her other so-called "baggage" is a product of career Clinton haters and nitpicking media who have teamed up in a crusade of witch hunting for over two decades.
OKNancy
(41,832 posts)The thing is, I could alert this, but it would never be hidden. However if I wrote something equally vile about another candidate the shit would hit the fan and I for sure would get a hide.
Of course, I don't write nasty stuff about other Democrats.

oasis
(49,431 posts)She wouldn't have put up with all the bs the media and Clinton haters have thrown at her for 20+years.

(63,645 posts)...of a Russian spy intern who was sleeping with Bill?

(11,014 posts)On Sun Aug 16, 2015, 02:00 PM you sent an alert on the following post:
as far as the thought that Hillary may drop out
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251522362
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
YOUR COMMENTS
A subtle wish that Hillary Clinton be dead or bound to a wheelchair after not-so "fictional" scandals casting aspersions of Bill (Clinton) sleeping with a Russian spy and Hillary ordering a hit. Bill and HRC are democrats and such vile stuff doesn't belong on DU.
JURY RESULTS
Someone else already alerted on this post before you alerted on it, and only the first alert was sent to a Jury. A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of the post on Sun Aug 16, 2015, 01:27 PM, and voted 3-4 to keep IT. Please note that even though your alert was not sent to a Jury, it has been forwarded to the Administrators who review all alerts.
Thank you.

(13,616 posts)save that they have been banned. However, ytou win, I will delete this post, because some people are not satisfied with an actual commitment to vote for someone. She will get my vote, but I have no delusions that I am doing anything other than keeping whatever the GOP puts up out of office.
