People Have a Full Range of Opinions about the Primary Candidates

[MineralMan]

Those opinions can be freely shared.

Hillary Clinton, who won the popular vote in 2016, and should be in the White House today, gave her opinion about one of the candidates. Her opinion was based on working with him when she, too, was a Senator. She knows Bernie Sanders. She knows what people think of Senator Sanders. She said what she knows and what she thinks.

So, some are attacking her and reducing her to "Mrs. Clinton." That's wrong. She was a candidate for President, and the nominee of the Democratic Party. Bernie Sanders lost the primary race for that exact position. Hillary won, and by a 4 million vote margin. Now, Bernie Sanders is, once again, a candidate for that nomination. That does not make him more important than Hillary Clinton. It does not eraser her win in 2016 to become the Demcratic presidential nominee, either. That does not entitle anyone to minimize her by ignoring her past accomplishments and addressing her as they would someone who had done nothing at all.

Hillary Clinton is the subject of a documentary, and she was quoted from that documentary and commented on that. She is a national figure, based on her accomplishments.

She is entitled and fully qualified to comment on anything she wants, including on current candidates for the Democratic nomination for President - something she has actually been.

Hillary Clinton is not the enemy. She should be our President. She was robbed of that position.

I'm interested in what she has to day about this year's field of candidates for the nomination she won. Yes, I am!

Am I saying something that will be unpopular? Good!

1. I'm with you.

2. Hillary Clinton endorsed Barack Obama 4 days after he clinched the nomination

That was class. She was full on board for our nominee right away.

Four weeks is a long time to wait before endorsing the obvious winner of the contest. It mattered.

I'm also interested in what she has to say about this field of nominees.

[MineralMan]

3. Yes, she did.

And then she served as his Secretary of State and did an excellent job. She is a Democrat who understands what being a Democrat means. I value her opinion highly. She should be President right now, but that was stolen from her. We all remember what happened.

Bernie Sanders remembers, too. His convention delegates booed when a beloved civil rights leader spoke regarding her nomination to be the Democratic nominee. They booed, and Bernie Sanders did nothing to stop their behavior. That was the last straw for me with regard to Senator Sanders as a Democratic candidate for anything. I'll vote for him if he manages to become the Democratic nominee, but I will work to prevent that from happening during the primary race.

6. Yes, she was a Democrat before the campaign, during the campaign, AND

is STILL a Democrat.

I'll be voting for a Democrat in this primary. I hope I get to vote for a Democrat in the general election too.

4. She certainly is entitled and fully qualified to comment on anything she wants. And we who disagree

are entitled and fully qualified to comment on her words about the person we support.

[MineralMan]

7. Yes, of course. And here I'll be, won't I?

[Autumn]

10. Did someone say you wouldn't be? Or are you just saying someone else won't be

[MineralMan]

11. I say exactly what I mean to say.

Always.

[Autumn]

12. So do I. Always.

[MineralMan]

13. Then we're even, I guess.

[Autumn]

18. I have no need to be even. YMOV

5. hillary faced two non-democrat opponents in 2016 and beat them both by millions. she knows

what she's talking about

[MineralMan]

8. So it would seem, eh?

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. Ding! Ding! Ding!

14. "Hillary Clinton is writing a book, and she was quoted from that book and commented on that book."

TV show. Not a book.

[MineralMan]

15. Yes. Thank you.

I'll edit my post. She has written books, though, in the past.

[RandiFan1290]

16. "Those opinions can be freely shared."

[MineralMan]

17. You find that statement amusing?

Odd. I don't see the humor in it.

[Autumn]

19. That was my thought too. Time to dig out that book and read it again. It's been decades.

[GumboYaYa]

21. Hillary is not president today because she squandered money on political ads and failed

to put together a solid ground game in key states.

[MineralMan]

22. No. That is not why.

Truly it is not.
