You wanted the Dems to grow a spine and stand up for themselves yet

[2rth2pwr]

you criticize Hillary for showing that she won't back down when it gets tough?

It's about time someone in the party showed some "huevos" and will fight for victory.

1. there is tough and then there is out of touch with reality...

she can't win unless she tears the party apart, and all the testicular fortitude in the world only serves to make her look as stubborn and deluded as bush.

[Clovis Sangrail]

2. no... people criticize her for other reasons

nice try though

[Firespirit]

3. No, we wanted the Dems to stand up for what's right

Hillary only stands up for herself.

[wileedog]

4. The going is not 'tough'

The going is gone.

Its time for the party leadership to grow a spine and shut this farce down.

5. Hillary is not standing up for Democrats - she's standing up for Hillary.

14. Yes. I'm afraid that's really where we are now. How sad. nt

6. You can be strong without being underhanded and machiavellian. nt

[Liberal Veteran]

7. No. We wanted them to grow a spine and stand up for US...

...not against us.

She's standing up for herself and will destroy anyone who gets in her way, including people otherwise inclined to support her.

[Skwmom]

8. WRONG. To stand up for the PEOPLE. The Clintons have always

fought for the CLINTONS.

9. The DLCers only have "a spine" when they are bashing real Democrats.

However, they never have "a spine" when dealing with the GOP. They just raise the white flag and surrender every time.

[polichick]

10. Unfortunately, that's true.

11. Another Apples to Unicorns comparison

I think you're confusing "standing up for yourself" and "wetting yourself in public".

12. I think she's got a lot of "huevos" and is very tough. My kid says she's "sassy" and thinks that's a

good thing, as do I. However, when things are to the point where it's hurting the overall principle and message that the party wants to send, the candidate who has very little hope should really stand back and look at things rather than attack and make things very difficult not just for the other candidate, but for the entire party. In other words, this is way bigger than just her. She is making herself and the party look bad and unelectable. This is about the future of the country and possibly the world. I and my kid would support her if she was the nominee, but she more than likely won't be so why continue to destroy it for us all?

[JerseygirlCT]

13. I want to see those backbones put into effect fighting republicans

not Democrats. And especially not Democrats while praising Republicans!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. Some times it takes "huevos" to admit you've lost.

Real fighters would have thrown in the towel by now. There's no shame in admitting defeat.

There is shame in pretending you haven't been defeated.

[polichick]

16. You're right - the problem comes when a person's identity is too wrapped up in winning. (imo)

[msallied]

17. There is a difference between being tough and being delusional.
