re: #431 William Barnett-Lewis

Hillary is just another blue dog hawk and I really pray that if she runs she gets hammered hard in the early primaries so that someone else, Sanders or Gillibrand for example, can get the nomination.

Please be realistic. No one like Sanders is electable. Not only is he a self-described “democratic socialist” with far left views (which I happen to share), but he’s way too honest. He says what he thinks and much of it is anti-big business. He’s too far outside the mainstream of his own party. He’s like the good version of Ron Paul, if such a thing were possible.

Gillibrand, on the other hand, may be the real deal. I have a million doubts about Hillary. But I have one certainty that outweighs them all: she’s ready to roll. Plenty of fundraising prowess, flush with cash, lots of experience, tons of DC insider support, Bill at her side, etc etc. And she’s still voted the most admired woman in America practically every year. Definitely a formidable candidate. Put Gillibrand on the ticket with her and dare the gop to let their misogyny flow naturally like toxic waste into a (relatively) clean body of water.
