"The Hillary video would have been more effective and less sterile if she had personally interacted with those "real people".

"Why not gather most or all of them together, and show HRC engaging in a lively conversation w/them--after individual intro scenes."

Here comes the scrutiny.
 
Personally I would prefer Liz Warren, but that's not gonna happen. So Hilldog has my vote. No one will likely oppose her during primaries. I don't see many Republicans giving her a hard time either but hey, you never know. Either way, if she wins and doesn't destroy the country, democrats will have won a massive mindshare victory over the republicans for generations. The party of the first black president and the first female president? GOP will never live that down. Really their only shot is Marco Rubio, and that's a long shot...

Clearly you don't pay attention to things like "Benghazi" and "white men are most qualified to be president."

Eh, I doubt that. Obama is a two-term black president and race relations have come off as worse than recent times. While her gender will be a talking point, it won't actually mean much for women's issues or rights in society.

Depends on how effectively the GOP can continue the level of obstruction they've achieved. They managed to portray Obama as "the other" effectively to too large a portion of American society.

What would the level of awareness of racial issues in America be if Obama hadn't been elected?

Estoy postulándome para presidente. Todos los estadounidenses necesitan un defensor. Yo quiero ser ese defensor. - H


Looks like Hilldawg's not ceding this Hispanic vote to Jeb or anyone.

Why would Hispanics vote for Jeb? I mean obviously some will BUT, the base will be democratic this next election cycle.

I don't know. Police brutality has been a thing for awhile and even received high-profile coverage with little actually done about it prior to Obama. That seems to largely hold true with him in office. Other social issues are stagnant or getting worse too. Looking at some recent surveys out there, whites seem to be mostly apathetic to the whole issue and haven't become energized over it. I'll reference that millennial poll posted here a few days ago as an example.

But I attribute that more with democrats not caring to show up to mid-term elections versus the GOP pandering to their Fox News base as per usual.
 
I don't wanna be presumptuous but you know the other side has it bad when all they could muster is 'She bad, okay? ' instead of trying to convince you why they are the best choice. Default win for her on that alone.

Technically he is ineligible for VP due to maxing out term limit as Pres, IIRC.

Is Bill gonna be milked like Arnie in Terminator movies? This dude is always back in the White House, one way or another.

Can't wait to vote against her. Horrible person.

Who else is there?

Ted Cruz? The man with immigrant parents who hates immigrants?

Can Hillary prove she's a sista?

She kicked Bill's ass when needed.

This. We need more Biden jokes. The man is comedy fodder.

Clinton + Merkel vs Putin. Greatness awaits.

So if she wins will Bill Clinton's title be like "First Man of the United States" or something?
Click to expand...

He would still be called President Clinton. Former presidents don't lose the title.

First in the US. But we're way behind the curve on these things. Most of the world did it before us.

It begins. Didnt say 90% of people use the internet, i said 90% have a "team" they vote for.

The "independents" (stupid term hence the quotes) are usually younger and likely aren't going to be swayed by a candidate flying to Iowa or Ohio and shaking hands with people who donated money to the candidates and promising false promises.

GAF as a whole is very Democratic (full disclosure i voted for Obama twice), most already have their "team" and will vote for their team regardless who wins. Hilary hasn't even announced her platform or opinions and theres a bunch of people saying they'll vote for her. I'm sure the same is being said on another forum for Cruz, and whoever else decides to run.

Obama won the first term because of his internet media and outreach to the younger voters(among other things). Everyone and their grandmother had a smartphone nowadays. If they can look up directions, they can go to their favorite news site or news channel and get the info they need.

I think you are drastically underestimating the ability of people to think for themselves.
 
Already has my vote because there's not another soul the Democrats could dig up that could be better and the day I vote for a Republican to be president is the day when I decide I want my people to be slaves in chains on a plantation again.

It's even Worse. The blue (synonymous with democrats) is represented with a pause sign. The arrow is depicted with a red arrow, a color synonymous with Republicans. It clearly dipicts stopping the progressive movement to move more conversative.

The logo is really really bad.
 
Can't wait to see all the stupid/insulting things people are going to post with on twitter/facebook when she gets elected. Won't be as bad as with Obama, but a Woman as President is still going to put out stupid comments on social media.

You underestimate the depths of humanity's failure.
 
Good video, a far cry from how she presented herself back in 07/08. Think she's gonna do extremely well against whoever she comes up against next year.

That and "Viva Bush" has a nice ring to it. Laugh all you want, it was everywhere in central Florida last time.

Think about it for a second.

Is the world really ready for the following headlines?

"FLORIDA MAN WINS WHITE HOUSE!"

"FLORIDA MAN TO BE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!"
 
It was probably the best type of video for her to do. She doesn't even appear until over 40 seconds -- definitely trying to blunt criticism that "I deserve this" and "this is about me."

If that happens, we're going to see prayer vigils & fastings for the health of Antonin Scalia. A Supreme Court stacked with liberals is the worst nightmare of a huge portion of their base. #WeekendAtAntonins
