If Democrats want to commit another political suicide dalton99a Nov 12 #1

Agree...we may love her, but PortTack Nov 12 #3

Her fan base DeepWinter Nov 12 #9

I like her; I just don't think she's electable. Ocelot II Nov 12 #25

I like her too but IIRC a Rep. elected the WH. She might be ready after a couple of Senate terms. brush Nov 12 #60

Well reality is what it is, the question is do we pick the person most likely to get elected or the one we like the most EX500rider Nov 12 #43

We can't choose a woman, a minority or anyone who isn't a white man Bettie Nov 12 #59

In safe Dem areas we can, but in national contests we have to appeal to middle of the road voters, EX500rider Nov 12 #93

So, white conservative men Bettie Nov 13 #99
