A surprising display of selfawareness from IceSpear.

It's impossible to NOT have a cult following when you have as much support as Hillary. Wink

Surely Clinton - a mass appeal candidate - doesn't really have a "cult following" (all jokes aside). I associate cult candidates with fringe people catering outside the mainstream like Bernie Sanders or Ron Paul. If Clinton is a cult candidate, McDonalds is a cult restaurant.

Oh, I thought OP meant had a lot of "cultist like" supporters, not a "cult candidate" that is defined by their vocal but small fanbase. In that case, probably only Ben Carson?

If we're talking about Atlas, Bernie Sanders for sure.

I think this means the Ready for Hillary people.  I think they would count as a fairly large cult following.

I remember the '08 primaries. Hillary Clinton most definitely has a cult following.

I'm pretty sure every Democratic candidate in 2008 had a cult following...besides Chris Dodd.

The Ready for Hillary folks seem to have a homosexual "texts from Hillary" cult following.

At San Francisco "pride," apparently many of them were into this Text from Hillary thing

Liz Warren ("I'm from the Elizabeth Warren wing of the Democratic party" stickers anyone..)  and Rand Paul certainly, possibly Palin and Clinton also.
