Sadly.

Unless an exact reverse case of 1976-1980 happens, although given some parallels between Sanders and Reagan/Clinton and Ford and trump/Carter, this could still happen.

Which is darkly on some level making me root for trump to win this round [wouldn't vote for him myself, I'd hope a protest vote against Clinton or staying out of that race would do it], fail, and get the same heckling from conservatives that Carter got from extremist liberals.

It'd then be no different from all the red-avvies who in hindsight seem to wish Ford won '76 just so the GOP wouldn't have moved rightwards with Reagan in '80.

Can someone please explain how people who like and voted for Obama find Hillary "too moderate"? Because her campaign is objectively to the left of his in 2008/2012.

Or is it just because he's a cool black guy and she's a shrill bitch?

1. People don't actually trust that Hillary is to the left of Obama, they think she just did that because she thought it was the only way she could beat Obama and Sanders. This is especially true on trade and on Keystone, where Hillary's 2015 position changes look like incredibly convenient timing. People think that once in office, Hillary will be like Bill Clinton. The left doesn't like that.

)


No they don't like that at all but again the left has their complaints about Obama but they still like him.

Will the liberal wing of the Democratic Party allow itself to be "put away?"  THAT is the question.

This. Also, I don't trust the far left with the U.S. military. They would sell the military out in a jiffy.

With how the so called "liberal wing of the Democratic Party" acted during the primaries, I sure hope so.

Hillary is a liberal! How many times must we say this, must I shout it from the rooftops? Because I can't get to my building's roof without a special key, so we're gonna have issues - regardless

HILLARY IS A LIBERAL
HILLARY CLINTON IS A LIBERAL POLITICIAN
HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON IS A GODDAMNED, NO-BS LIBERAL!!!!!
Well, yeah, almost everybody in American politics is.

As if our last Republican administration didn't already do that. Setting us up for failure in Afghanistan by getting distracted. Making a mess of the Middle East with the wholly optional and unnecessary war in Iraq. Obama certainly could have done better these last eight years, be he certainly did better than the Bush administration, and even Dubya with all his multiple faults was a better commander-in-chief than Trump would ever be if we make the mistake of electing Trump this November.

The answer is obviously not.

I wouldn't say obviously not.  Let's hope some of the red avatar apparatchiks around here aren't indicative of the general populace.
