(30,481 posts)I say no when it comes to the known quantity you are referencing. Jumping in the primary would be fair game. I have yet to see her even hint at it. Some sheltered individuals simply live their lives in a state of rapid reaction to anything they see. Said group also seems to be floored when a POC is well put together. It's like it's a shock to them and only the Presidency will do.

(825 posts)If we are at a point where we need a measure of celebrity I say she is the one. I just don't see us winning without a candidate with some charisma.
I met her, she's wasn't that pleasant. TV isn't real life.

(15,358 posts)Are they running against someone who appointed a Civil War Loving racist as Attorney General and a Dow Chemical Ass-licker as head of the EPA?
Are they running against a party that finds Nazis to be "very fine people"?
You'd have to mine the depths of hell to find someone that I "wouldn't" vote for if they are running against the ReTrumplicans!

Guess she scares the hell out of Putin.
Yes, it's obvious the Russian troll factories are working overtime.

This is a woman who promoted anti vaccine hysteria on her national show.
And thats not even getting into stuff like John of God and numerous other snake oil bullshit that unlike Trump Steaks or Trump University actually physically hurt people and on the antivax case actually has killed people or being the type of person who creates a magazine that she puts herself on the cover of every issue.
At best shes painfully naive and susceptible to the worst type of snake oil charlatanism, or at worst shes knowingly pitching this stuff to gullible rubes she knows will buy it.
God, I cant believe there are people on here who would be fine with this.

(13,305 posts)...is that many of them are the same ones whining and crying on here for the past 2 years about how whoever we nominate "Needs to be a registered Democrat!!!" and "Needs to have supported the Democratic party always".
Really? So now it's o.k. for someone to not be a Democrat? To have promoted non-Democrats?
All those same people who justified Democratic cowardice and inaction on any number of fronts with "We can't just lower ourselves to their level!!!" are now fine with lowering ourselves to the level of the GOP in just nominating and voting for a celebrity because they are "Not Trump" and because it would "Really piss off the Republicans!!!"
Pathetic. The rampant hypocrisy on here is sickening.
