Democrats suffering from Clinton fatigue say they’re ready for Warren

[Jesus Malverde]

Thirteen Iowa Democrats wearily took their seats here this weekend and discussed among themselves the source of their angst: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

“I’m utterly tired, tired of the Clintons and the whole establishment,” said Carol Brannon, 71, a retired nurse.

Anne Kinzel, 57, a former health-care lawyer, nodded sympathetically.

“The hacks think Hillary is entitled to be president,” Kinzel said. “I think she is one of those people who has lost the sense of why they are in politics.”

1. Not surprised. You don't screech your way into the White House; you earn it.

And if voters are turned off, they won't necessarily vote for the Republican, but they may very well just not bother to vote, as millions did last time.

2. "screech"...how charming

...you could have complained about specific policy differences you have with Clinton; you could have discussed how you don't think her campaigning skills are up to snuff. But you decided to go with "screech".

16. Telling choice of words, no?

[PFunk]

13. My thoughts exactly. The Dems better have another canadate ready at election time

Because I fear this is going to be how the repugs win the white house in '16. With a record low vote count due to many dems just not voting due to the offered choices.

3. From the Comments Section

"It's always nice to get a report on what Democrats are thinking from Robert Costa, former writer for long-time white supremacist journal National Review. Who better to know what the left is thinking than this guy."

4. Not this Democrat. nt

5. You mean you aren't going to be swayed by thirteen disaffected Democrats somewhere in Des Moines./NT

[hack89]

7. 20 is my magic number.

I am hard to sway.

8. Maybe they chose thirteen because...

Maybe they chose thirteen because:

it's a Baker's Dozen
-the reporter was lazy

6. WaPo does a Clinton hit piece, how nice.

I just don't know whom to choose. I choose neither.

9. Gotta disagree with Kinzel: I think Hillary knows exactly why she's in politics. nt

[Chan790]

10. Self-aggrandizement, personal-enrichment, and to serve the orders of her fiscal backers on Wall St?

I don't think any of that is going to resonate with the American public.

[stillwaiting]

11. Like I said, she knows exactly what she's doing. The DLC/New Democrats have stated their goals. nt

[Fumesucker]

17. Yeah, that was my first thought too

[LWolf]

12. I'm ready

for ANY left-of-center, non-neoliberal Democrat.

[MineralMan]

14. 13 Democrats in Iowa don't like Hillary?

Well, it's all over for candidate Clinton, then, I guess.

[Autumn]

15. I'm ready for a big healthy primary, with a lot of other democrats, not just Hillary

and hopefully an Independent Senator from Vermont.
