(94,606 posts)...just as no pro-Hillary person has said they WOULD NOT VOTE FOR Sanders, Warren, etc. if they won the nomination.
We HAVE said that such candidates are (in our opinion) less viable candidates in a national election. You can disagree, but it's an opinion we can reasonably hold.
We have ALSO said that many of us expect that if Hillary is nominated, she'll win handily. You can disagree, but it's an opinion supported by current polling.
What seems to annoy the anti-Hillary people the most though is our pointing out that you don't seen to have a candidate who's acceptable liberal AND who's willing to run against her. Despite all the fantasies about Elizabeth Warren, she's said she doesn't want to run, and appears to have encouraged Hillary to do so. And despite his musings about an Independent run, Bernie Sanders has never said he'd try to run in the Democratic Primary. More importantly, none of the anti-Hillary people have indicated that they'll lift a finger to encourage an acceptably liberal candidate to run. "Ready for Hillary" has raised millions of dollars and rounded up millions of volunteers to support a Hillary run. Anti-Hillary people have...posted criticism of her on a blog site.
