Is Hillary already running in the General Election

[edhopper]

without securing the base?
Be cause she sure sounds like it.

1. That was my guess:

2. It sounds like she's still running against Obama for the nomination

I don't think he's running this time.

8. That's how recent TV news crap sounds.

TV news is of course useless for anything but advertising and entertainment, though.

3. I'd call it "positioning", and she needs to be careful.

I supported Barack Obama from the moment he announced in 2007.

If Barack Obama had not been in the race, I would have supported Hillary. So now, Hillary i naturally at the top of my list. But when she goes dissing Obama's foreign policy, a foreign policy she helped shape, well, she starts to lose people like me.

4. I assume her people don't want another embarrassing primary.

Easier to debate GOP candidates than Dems, I believe.

5. The M$M sure is pushing that idea. nt

11. + Infinity with a cherry on top.

Hillary Clinton came on “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart on Tuesday night to discuss her new memoir “Hard Choices,” but the comedian quickly did away with the pretext for her appearance. “I think I speak for everybody when I say no one cares [about the book],” he joked. “They just want to know if you’re running for president.”

The former secretary of state and potential 2016 presidential candidate jabbed back that she was going to make the announcement on the show, “but you kind of spoiled it for me. So I’m going to have to reconsider where I go.”

Stewart had introduced Clinton by joking that “she’s here solely for one reason: to publicly and definitely declare her candidacy for President of the United States.”

The corporate media has been pulling an ongoing, subliminal Borg on the American People, "resistance is futile."

6. Running without securing the base, or running without securing DU?

[winter is coming]

7. Maybe you're not the base she's trying to secure. n/t

[Motown_Johnny]

9. If she doesn't have DU posters nailed down

then she may be trying to secure the wrong base.

[winter is coming]

10. Perhaps she's trying to $ecure a ba$e,

while assuming we have nowhere else to go.

[Motown_Johnny]

18. She also assumed her big state strategy would win her the nomination.

So much for that.

[edhopper]

14. I thought the Dem base

the ones who vote in Primaries, were on the liberal side.
What base do you think she is going after?

[winter is coming]

15. A financial one. n/t

[edhopper]

16. Well she can have all the money she wants

but if she pushes away voters....

[winter is coming]

17. Hence the need for the "she's the only one who's electable" meme. n/t

[tularetom]

12. It's the old Clinton "fuck the liberals, where else are they gonna go" strategy

Not that Obama is a liberal but the right wing news media portrays him as one, and their viewers are the dum dum demographic that Hillary thinks is just loaded with potential Clinton supporters.

They don't think of left leaning Democratic voters as "the base".

Frankly I hope she keeps it up, because she's on the road to self destruction and frankly that's the best thing that could happen to the country. It's good that hess character flaws are coming out before the coronation actually takes place.

13. In her big head she is. (nt)
