(49,408 posts)Btw, don't pin your hopes on what happened in 2007. This time she has a completely different campaign apparatus to avoid a repeat.
Expect a far different result.

(49,408 posts)the greatness in the individuals who learn, achieve, grow and strive for even greater accomplishments. Hillary is such a person. She is a winner. We have no problem in voicing our appreciation for her years of service to children, women, the nation and humankind worldwide.
Folks of our makeup recognize winners because we too, in our lives, have known what it is to rise above adversity and keep on going. We who optimistically support Hillary, are proud to say "we are also winners."
Then, there are those who go through life relishing a chance to pass on to others their own negative impressions of their neighbors, family members, sports team or elected officials. They live to criticize. I'm not saying you fall into that particular category, but there are a few here at this site who certainly do.
For the record, I have never written anything negative about Bernie, here at DU or anywhere else. I have been a longtime admirer of his commitment to fairness for all.

(12,504 posts)...of much in this world. Bernie is not on the "scared to death" list. iSIS may not even be on the list.
She is respectful of the Primary process as is her supporters. Not taking anything for granted. Working hard, campaigning, rally's, speeches, Twitter, web, fb.
Apparently you are scared to death of this successful and hardworking campaign.

Just about as silly and misguided as this thread. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251842718

It's that over-bearing confidence that sank her campaign the last time around.

That group is shrinking every day. And everybody knows it, and everybody fears they could be next.

(94,728 posts)...so either the number of 1%ers in the Democratic Party is incredibly high, or there's a flaw in your argument.

(72,631 posts)Most are STILL not paying attention...
The polls also reflect that.

(3,811 posts)I don't think it would be possible for Hillary Clinton to campaign any harder than she is doing. Same goes for Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley.

(19,460 posts)Did the fact that she is leading by double digits escape your notice?
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)She showed one of her strengths in the last debate, foreign affairs. Sanders stumbled and danced away to his usual stump speech on finances. He does not have foreign affairs knowledge. It really showed. As I said before formal announcements candidates has to sell themselves, if Bernie is unable to sell himself then he will probably lose.

(27,818 posts)It's hard NOT to be scared to death of the guy who is so far behind you in the polls, he's just a vague, blurry image in your rearview mirror.
It's apparent by Hill's tireless campaigning that she is "ignoring the primary process" - I mean really, who doesn't see right through her travel schedule, her on-the-ground teams across the country, etc.? She is so blatantly ignoring the process - I'm just amazed that not everyone has your incredible powers of observation in noticing just how disengaged she has been all along.
BTW, do you have a list of people who believe HRC should be "crowned as president of the United States"? I've not seen any such sentiments expressed by anyone - but I'm sure you know better than most what's really going on.
There's sad, there's hopeless - and then there's just plain desperate. I think we all know where you are on that scale.
