it just never fucking ends. ..she is the very embodiment of Orwellian evil and we will probably have to vote for her to avoid Armageddon, i would say'"god forgive us" except that i am not on speaking terms with Yahweh and she's just his kind of bitch...

Why do you think jolly there are so many ostensibly articulate intelligent people who react angrily and forcibly to those of us documenting and decrying her perfidy, cupidity, and incompetence?

In the area of foreign policy the reaction might be, probably is, defensive. After spending the years of the Bush administration being outraged at the stupidity of the Iraq war, the fact that it was justified by lies, the total incompetence of the way it was carried out, and the horrific results that created probably millions of bitter enemies of America, it is hard to face evidence that HRC has been a big part of the same things continuing under Obama which had equally bad results, though on a smaller scale in most places. So far. She is positioned to go on to even bigger things.

without pretending to speak for those urging the cited position (and there are many on this board) some speculations: 1. genuine affection. she is not without. charm. there is an interview with glen thrush that manifests humor and intelligence (!). add the residual symathy from her victimization by bill and the trope that she was the liberal whisper in his cracker ear, she accumulates loyalty chips. 2. a fear that as she is now the presumptive nominee, a frank deconstruction of her (manifest) characterological defects plays into the repugnants hands. plus, to some extent, their over the top hysteria innoculates her. and the not inconsequential (nor irrelevant) gender thing.

All convincing explanations and part of the puzzle but I think there may be a little something more.

She has lost a little of that glitter. The last picture I saw of her in public was in a garage this week speaking to several hundred people. Then last night the twitter feed showed the most amazing pictures of the crowd that turned out for Sanders in Washington Square. Her appeal is weaker then the media wants to admit.

Aside from 10-15% leads in New York and Pennsylvania, an almost meaningless statistic.
Her inability to draw large crowds to pep rallies remains a bitter disappointment to us all.

Well you and many others don't care about her role in overthrowing democracies and instating military dictators right?

of course, we all value HRC for her pragmatic approach. .. Again, I am where I have been, which is that if there’s a way to structure some kind of constitutional restriction that take into account the life of the mother and her health, then I’m open to that. But I have yet to see the Republicans willing to actually do that, and that would be an area, where if they included health, you could see constitutional action. ( source ) The Queen of Triangulation is at it again. Just before she said the preceding, she made sure to mention that her husband Bill, as president, vetoed late term abortion restrictions. Talk about playing both sides and trying to land in the middle. And that is fine when you’re arguing about marginal tax rates and shit like that. But Hillary just exposed herself as willing to hand conservatives back a little bit of the territory feminists and pro-choice advocates have carved out, as long as she got something in return. Did Hillary just recently wake up from a coma? President Obama has tried on several occasions — Obamacare’s single payer option, Guantanamo, and more — to play nicely with the current crop of Congressional Republicans. He’s gotten almost nothing but ongoing, eternal scandal “investigations” for it. Clinton’s musing on abortion actually remind me of every time Obama has floated the idea of changing Social Security or Medicare to try and entice sportsmanship from the GOP, only to be handed a turd sandwich to eat in the end. Hillary is showing her willingness to eat that turd sandwich. And all for very cynical, political reasons. http://modernliberals.com/major-problem-hillary-saying-shed-compromise-a...

No one, absolutely no one truly believes there should be no laws restricting abortion. If you support Roe then you support laws restricting abortions as Roe specifically states that the government has a vested interest and lays out a general compromise of when and how that interest can be legislated.
I support Hillary's balanced view on abortion. I support her view that the Hyde amendment be repealed. My guess is her position on abortion is roughly the same as Sanders.

i worry about an inability to draw large crowds to the polls...
by jollyroger on Thu, 04/14/2016 - 1:20pm
We can all speculate about what it means when Sanders draws large crowds to a speech and Hillary doesn't. But the only objective evidence we have is that Hillary draws more crowds to the polls than Sanders. It's counted as votes and Hillary has about 2.5 million more of them.

Showing up to the Bernie mosh pit gets his supporters out of their parents' basements! It's fun! It's exciting! It's a way to meet chicks! If Bernie could get the nomination (not going to happen), and then got elected President (no way), the revolution would die because they would then expect Bernie to actually deliver because they think he will. He won't because he can't .
