In reply to the discussion: The manufactured outrage that purports to be legitimate criticism of Hillary is pathetic [View all]Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)I want to hear her start articulating cogent policy positions, and I hope they won't be endlessly poll-tested "conventional wisdom" beltway pablum of the sort that convinced Debbie Wasserman-Schultz it was a good idea, politically, to support arresting cancer patients who smoke pot.
There are real issues facing this country and they need real leadership. I want HRC to run on more than name recognition, inevitability, "my favorite bible passage" and bad country music videos.
Maybe she will. If so, that'd be great. But that's what the primaries are for.
In that vein, I do think that there very well be legitimate arguments to vote for someone else in the primaries, assuming we have more than one candidate. But you are correct, the speaking fees thing is lame.
