Exactly! I was for Obama in ‘08, but Clinton totally won me over with her work on his behalf after the primary. She had a better case than anyone ever has for a contested convention, but she put that aside and worked to get Obama and other Dems elected. I really respect that.
YES! This news excites me so much, because I think I've already watched everything Freestyle Love Supreme on the internets.
I agree with this, but I have also read that the Mass govt could change the rules - as they already have a couple times - to make getting another Dem in more likely. There is already a requirement that a special election for the replacement has to be held within 5 months. And if she resigned her seat early enough…
I initially thought he would be Clinton’s pick because he has done a lot of campaigning for her. He’s Latino, he’s young, he’s charming, and he’s certainly easy on the eyes. But there’s been a lot of pushback on Castro from the left, because he got into some trouble for HUD’s selling off subprime mortgages. I don’t…
Honestly, though, none of his primary opponents really disagreed with him much on policy. They may not be quite as far out as banning Muslims or calling Mexicans rapists, but their fundamental ideals are not that different.
I know I’ve said it a million times, but I’m gonna say it again:
Absolutely. Of the Bernie supporters I know, some are enthusiastically supporting Clinton for the general, and some are grudgingly doing so. A couple will vote for Jill Stein, but they're regular Green Party voters who just happened to like Bernie. And a handful are misogynous dicks that I probably shouldn't be…
Yeah, she doesn’t want Trump near the levers of power. And I know a lot of political purists won’t believe this, but it’s also possible to not agree with someone 100% and still A) like them and B) think they’re good for a job. I believe that Warren and Clinton are both pretty comfortable being criticized. I also think…
Yup. Another reason I’m all in for a Clinton/Warren ticket. I have several Bros in my circle who used “I’d vote for Elizabeth Warren” as proof that their blatantly sexist attacks on Hillary weren’t sexist. So I’d love to see how they’d respond to the actual opportunity to vote for Warren.
Well, it would provide them four years’ worth of “I told you so” opportunities.
I was psyched to hear that Senator Warren is open to the idea of serving as VP. My husband says a Clinton/Warren ticket is “political fan fiction” (although he wants it, too). I’m not going to let that dream die until Hillary announces her VP. If nothing else, it’s fun to imagine Trump’s reaction to a Clinton/Warren…
I agree completely. Unfortunately, because she's sacrificed her career to his, she doesn't quite have the resume at the moment. That's certainly not to say she couldn't get there - I mean, just look at Hillary after Bill left the White House! But I don't think Michelle would be interested for herself. She's made a…
So agree, even though I hadn’t really thought about it. I first saw Hillary speak when I was 17, at a Clinton/Gore rally in 1992. I wished then that she was the one running (and I LOVED Bill when I was 17). I always thought she was the smarter, more liberal, and all-around “better half” of that pair. But I hadn't…
I wonder how Michelle would feel about being married to an Associate Justice of he Supreme Court? In my fantasies, Hillary makes Barack her first SCOTUS appointment.
Well, I think it’s certainly given the Clinton campaign a chance to test and perfect its GOTV apparatus before the fall. I think the campaign is far better prepared than Trump’s, on every possible logistical level. And I think having at least the semblance of a real challenge has played a part in that - it’s kinda…
Her approval ratings as SOS averaged around 60% - so pretty fucking good in today's political climate.
Yeah, I expect her approval to rise now that the primary has concluded, as well. We’ve mostly only seen her run against people she largely agrees with, and while she’s certainly campaigned hard against Obama and Sanders, she wasn’t willing to obliterate either one. Trump is a perfect opponent to play to her strengths…
I just said basically the same thing. I think Hillary has been uncommonly empathetic to his process because, as she’s said many times, she knows what it’s like to fight hard and come up short.
