Do a few searches. Before Sanders there was a short lived but nonetheless readyforwarren movement amongst her supporters. Similarly, once it became clear she was not going to run for President herself, many in the Sanders camp held on to the hope of her endorsing him or outright serving as his VP pick, all the more speculated by her reluctance to endorse either candidate. I believe she was the last or one of the last female Congresswomen or Senators to endorse Clinton.
That is my point. Talked to common sense by who exactly? I threw out Warren because she is a nationally known figure, but I recall quite a few other names circulating as potential heirs to Obama. Gavin Newsom, Antonio Villaraigosa, Andrew Cuomo, Deval Patrick. For candidates with strong localized appeal but not necessarily broad national recognition, you need establishment donors to kickstart their campaigns into the national spotlight.
I will concede that none of us want for her to be denied by a raving buffoon and conman. Whether or not she deserves it is up for debate. I recognize and appreciate you are a supporter of her, so you of course will perceive what she does from a positive perspective, and that is your prerogative. I have a slightly different perspective on the Clintons, so I don't share your admiration and respect.
Most of the candidates are no more weak than Obama was. O'Malley somewhat blows up my theory, but he lasted what 10 minutes in the spotlight? He was not a credible threat to the extent that he could motivate a movement as Obama did.
Fair point. I guess it all depends on who you think the king makers are within the DNC, or in this year's case, queen maker. Obama proved it is possible to launch a campaign from outside the establishment and build a winning coalition.
If the broom fits...It's clear she's a witch. She turned me into a Newt. The worst kind, too, a Gingrich. I got better. You can, too. Just lay off the ridiculous conspiracy theories.
And, hey, here's something to consider while you stew in your ideologically encrusted bunker. Maybe Obama made Clinton SOS because he recognized she had the best, most established chance of continuing his "I'm a liberal Democratic President trying desperately to get decent things done around the margins in the face of fanatic Republican dead-ender opposition in our sadly gerrymandered Congress."
But, no, you're probably right. That scenario is simply too sane and simple. F*ck Occam's razor! What did that Franciscan dickwad know, anyway? Needs more Bilderberg!!
