That's the brutal truth, and all the crap about "I'm making a stand" is just that, crap. You might also want to remember that we're not holding a single office election. We're not just going to be voting for President, we're also voting for members of Congress, as well as state and local officials. All this stuff about "sending a message" or "I'm taking my toys and going home!" is what turned my state from one that had an almost completely Democratic delegation in the House to one where Republicans have almost half of them over the past three elections, as well as control of the state Senate.

Outside of party conventions, she & her overrated husband haven't done or said anything remotely supportive of this administration [see both 2010 & 2014 midterms]. A few months back, an insider revealed the complete opposite strategy [running against PBO]. So which one is it? The mere fact that they're even debating this gives me a disturbing vision of how she'll govern as President.<br /><br /><br />This is still a democracy right? Either someone brings on a primary challenge or I'm seriously not voting.

They are now agreeing that income inequality is the problem but they are all saying they want conservative solutions. We know those are: 1. Cut taxes for the rich. 2. Deregulate every thing in sight. 3. Cut the safety net ( ObamaCare, social security, Medicare, student aid)<br />She needs to run on Obama's record to get the Obama voters. The Republicans have been hating Hillary longer than they have known Obama. She won't pick up voters leaning right of President Obama.<br /><br />The answer to gridlock is more Democrats in congress. We don't really have much time to work on voter registration and building Democratic strength locally. She may have ideas about cooperation but nothing beats having more votes.<br /><br />There is a huge difference domestically between a Hillary presidency and a GOP presidency. And, I think that is also true internationally with climate change and matters of war and peace.MaryAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742671242643555970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-86157156796490074372015-04-14T20:42:06.370-05:002015-04-14T20:42:06.370-05:0019 months until the election and I'm already b...19 months until the election and I'm already bored by it.

When the GOP candidates say they are looking toward "tomorrow" by issuing trickle down policies, she has an open opportunity to note they are the ones embracing "Forward to the Past". She can show decisively that massive tax cuts and welfare for corporate America does not work, that the private sector's benefits supported by Congress and GOP presidents have done no ordinary American a bit of good. Call out the policies robustly and point fingers at TODAY's GOP candidates who embrace a totally bankrupt economic policy.Churchlady320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-48352818145165528452015-04-14T12:24:33.272-05:002015-04-14T12:24:33.272-05:00What I like is that Martin O'Malley places the...What I like is that Martin O'Malley places the blame for income inequality on trickle down economics. http://whotv.com/2015/04/12/the-insiders-martin-omalley-part-3/ For my money, that's the smart move. Blaming it on the Republicans is going to get lost in the noise. We need to take on the economic policy that got us here rather than the Republicans. People need to hear about how the policy doesn't work. Hillary is going to have a hard time carrying that message since she benefits directly from the policy.Tien Lenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-33750076888667174122015-04-14T11:10:18.128-05:002015-04-14T11:10:18.128-05:00Your post is spot on, Nancy.

After watching Hillary's video announcing her run for the presidency, I wondered who she was going to blame for the income inequality the video, quite nicely, illustrates -- President Obama or the republican congress. That's what I'll be watching for -- how she makes this argument. If she ends up blaming the President, then she could repulse many democrats from the get-go. But if she manages to show how the republicans are to blame, then I might actually volunteer for her campaign.<br /> -- LydiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163441833245663827.post-10973829820400845272015-04-14T11:07:02.169-05:002015-04-14T11:07:02.169-05:00What is fascinating about all of this is to think ...What is fascinating about all of this is to think about the way the relationship between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has been shaping so much of our politics since 2008. We are still 18 months from the next presidential election and its clear that Obama is going to play through to the buzzer. More than a primary opponent, Hillary's campaign will largely be shaped by that reality.<br /><br />************************<br /><br />this will apply to any of the Candidates ...DEM and Repub as well....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
