Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

It is a year and a half till the election. Plenty of time to decide by then, no reason to rush out and decide now. With that said, I would lean towards favoring her over any of the other candidates or presumed candidates that I know of. That of course is subject to change as events dictate. It is silly to decide who you will vote for this far from the election.

Granted...However many of us have a clear idea of who we will absolutely not vote for....and wench Hillary tops that list.
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

I don't think she's particularly liberal or progressive, but I'd consider voting for her as a lot of Republicans reluctantly voted for Romney and McCain.

I don't think that her values or beliefs line up particularly with my own, but I think she'd be better than Obama perhaps at playing the game of politics and dealing with Congress and being an administrator and dealbroker overall.

This.
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

Clinton should choose her VP very carefully, Mark Warner, Wesley Clark, Tim Kaine, Brian Schweitzer are possible candidates.

A few I would never choose, Mrs. Warren (2 women on the ticket is not a good idea), Charlie Crist (don't trust him), Bill Clinton (no way on earth), Joe Biden (mr. Poltical foot in mouth should remain a 2 time VP, no more and no presidential run), Cuomo (not enough upside, Hillary will win NY with or without Cuomo), Julian Castro (too little experience), Gillibrand/Klochubar (same problem as Warren, no 2 women on a ticket). Other bad options are Al Gore, mr. Scream himself Howard Dean, John Kerry, Rahm Emanuel or Bernie Sanders.

When did she ever show any ability to work with others or manage anything?
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

Pretty much this. I'd far prefer a more progressive candidate. Hillary will do the job well, I'm sure, but her policy is hardly ideal. Of course, letting the Republican establishment or even worse, the Tea Party fringe, get any more power is a lot worse than ideal.

You just labeled democrat icon John F Kennedy as "fringe".
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

Except that you fail to realize that both Republicans and Democrats are at their core the exact same.

To a point you are right. They are liberal and liberal-lite. There are exceptions ofcourse.
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

And if Clinton is President, the GOP Senate will block any new SCOTUS selections, setting up a Constitutional crisis .

Two points to this. First, I don't really approve of giving people who act like children what they want for throwing temper tantrums. Second, it's very likely that the senate will flip back in 2016. All of the electoral good fortune that setup the Republicans for their big win last year will be operating in reverse next year.
 
Will you vote for Hillary as our next President?

We already have three parties--the DEMs and the two within the GOP.
Freedom Caucus/TEAs versus Elites/AAN is a far more vicious fight than the one between DEMs and GOPs .

No. If you want a good inside war analogy you'd want to look at the Democrats of the 1890s. The Republican Party suffers from very little of this. So long as you don't have people trying to land multiple candidates *after* the nomination, you're in decent shape.

In this respect at least, it is still a battle between the two major Parties.
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

Probably vote for Clinton. Depends how far of a right wing nut the repubs nominate.
 
Depends on who the Libertarians and Greens put up if Hillary is the Dem nominee. If the Libertarians put up a good candidate, I'd vote them other probably Green (unless their candidate is really really bad).

I would actually prefer the Schweitzer -Clinton ticket

Yes I mean that way, Schweitzer for prez. I'll never vote to put shrillary in the Oval Office.

But a former governor of Montana is ok in my book, I don't think we've had a single president from the west other then Reagan

I completely agree with this assessment, nor do I think blocking a SCOTUS nominee is a Constitutional crises in itself.
It's a Senate role.

Yes and no. Anyone announcing is doing so to drum up support, left or right. It is then not an unreasonable question to ask the DP population now who all is in on that candidate, even this early in the campaign. If anything it gives us an indication among us who all has bought in to Hillary for President the moment she announced (perhaps even before when it was all speculation.) The question does not have to be about down the road implications when more get in on the race; for Democrats, for Republicans, and for whoever else for whatever party.
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

We need a third party though.

To split the Republicans, I presume?

The only thing a third party would do is take majorities from whoever is more aligned with the major party.

Or, perhaps... Just perhaps... That third party would better represent the increasing population that no longer feels represented by ole (D) and (R,) and that has been well covered well documented polling supported material.

I doubt that.

When you vote for Party C on the basis of Party B not going far enough, you end up with getting Party A who is seen as your worst nightmare.

For now, yes. But I do not think that will always be the case, and there seems to be some level of empirical data to back up my assumption.

If you separate the empirical tendency of Tea Partiers identifying as Independent, you would have half a point. If we presume that Party C retains a large amount of their ideological consistency (and that's a big if), and if we presume Party C will adequately claim the splintered independents, you are just going to dislodge members of Party B. Party B voters would become the new Independents and you'd be looking at the same phenomenon.

The split doesn't change while the platform would.

It is unlikely that the Tea Party entirely drove the results of that poll. Some impact, of course but not all... Come on, you can do better than that.

I did, which is why I wrote much more than that. But hey, let's ignore the entire response.

Democrat are very unwise to think that taking back the Senate is a slam-dunk in 2016.
Keeping Reid's seat is a case in point--I never underestimate their election machine or McConnell .
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

Just goes to show that people vote more along party lines than on who will actually be good for the country. No one in this thread knows who she will be running against and you've already chosen that you'll vote for her (or would if you could).

You should take that up with the one who made up this poll. Basically it is nothing but a troll thread.

I think one should at least know who the other candidates are before picking one.

Or as you said people generally do vote party lines. There are some who will vote for her because of the (D) and there are those who will vote for anyone with a (R). Put a (D) or (R) behind Charles Manson's name and some will vote for him. Nothing is new under the sky.
 
Re: Will you vote for Hillary as ourr next President?

She has been crowned the nominee of the democratic party and you sure as hell would never vote for a Republican Redress.

If you are going to tell me what my answer is, why did you ask the question?
