GOP, soon the bubble will burst and they are going to get hit in the face hard with reality. There will be lots of butt hurt and tears which I personally will enjoy but that is besides the point.

IF they think HRC can actually win that is fine and dandy but they will destroy the Democratic Party in the process which may very well be the goal. Marginalize traditional liberal and progressive party members and like magic the democratic party becomes the new corporate party just like HRC and the 1% want. Which IMHO has always been the goal of the corporate and 'moderate' dems.

HRC and the 1% sounds like a band name!

Thread after thread insisting HRC is going to be the nominee and everyone should just accept it... [View all] Ken Burch Sep 2015 OP

Oh, this happens every election. They say once the nominee is elected then we have no choice liberal_at_heart Sep 2015 #1

Well, once the nomination comes in, two things need to happen... Ken Burch Sep 2015 #5

That may work for party loyalists. Some of us have left the party. I voted Democrat for liberal_at_heart Sep 2015 #7

Then just keep working hard for Bernie now. Ken Burch Sep 2015 #12

Oddly enough some of them are the same ones who supported Obama against Hillary Fumesucker Sep 2015 #8

It is curious isn't it? I was going to say maybe they assume the candidate with the most money liberal_at_heart Sep 2015 #9

Are you arguing against the math, then? Hardly seems like a worthwhile position to take. randome Sep 2015 #17

There's a difference between "she's the projected winner" and jeff47 Sep 2015 #19

Not if you extend the trend lines. That would indicate Hillary could be down near 20% by early 2016. reformist2 Sep 2015 #21

Actually, all we have now are some polls. They could be right, they could be wrong. Ken Burch Sep 2015 #22

I've mostly seen threads stating that Sanders will be the nominee. Metric System Sep 2015 #18

There's a few of those(most Sanders supporters don't actually feel that overconfident, btw). Ken Burch Sep 2015 #23

Inevitability is really the only thing she's got going on... and even that not so much. reformist2 Sep 2015 #20

I think her supporters don't see how counterproductive it is either. Chan790 Sep 2015 #25
