I'm pretty dissapointed in D's not challenging HRC.

This. Didn't vote for her last time, and I won't this time.

You are a very foolish and short-sighted person. Do as you wish in the primary but don't be a fool and vote for Bush or Trump in the general election. Or a third party candidate. Remember what the Nader voters did in Florida in 2000 -- they gave us two wars and a Supreme Court that saddled us with Citizens United.

Not the PP you addressed but when you have Democrats who are not willing to vote for a Democratic nominee, perhaps the problem is with the nominee and not the voter.

Not pp, but I have no respect for anyone whom doesn't' vote in the general elections and then spends the next four years bitching about how the other party governs.

I find it hard to believe there are Bill Clinton voters who won't support Hillary.

Why is that?

That's why Bernie Sanders has closed the gap to 12 in NH and HRC is below 50% there.

Read what you just typed: "closed the gap to 12 in NH" !!! If that's truly the low bar you set for a real challenge, then you need to take a step back.

Bernie Sanders combed his hair for MTP today.

The Wilder his hair, the more powerful he gets

The Gore campaign should never have let it get close enough to allow Nader to play spoiler. That's entirely on them.

Gore didn't win his home state...a state his family has been in for a loooong time...and would have guaranteed him the win. If you can't get the state that voted you in as a Senator....

+ 1 BUT

I'll admit to it, being part of the vote siphoned off by Nader. It was my first election, and I was a young idealist. Now I'm a 36-year old idealist but understand enough to vote on issues and not the candidate.

This weekend I told my nephew (19) and his g/f about the time my voting bloc helped elect W Bush.

NONE OF THAT MATTERS. Al Gore won the popular vote easily nation wide. He lost (and more importantly we lost) the presidency because of Nader voters in one state who decided to throw away their votes.

That was the point PP was making about idiots who say they will not vote for the Democratic candidate because of whatever.

All of you posters on the HRC bandwagon: I suspect OP is like me and other Dems on this thread. We certainly appreciate the need to vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election and will do so even if we have to hold our noses in the voting booth. Our concern is that many other voters to whom politics is not an obsession or who don't consider themselves dyed in the wool Democrats will vote for the Republican or not vote at all. Duh.

What is fundamental for me as a liberal is that any candidate who I vote for should be trustworthy, honest and has certain core convictions. I don't believe that HRC has any of these characteristics. This is the reason why I will not vote for her.

So you will vote for the Republican nominee?! That does not begin to make sense! Even if you think of HRC as being the lesser of two evils - we all saw what happened in 2000 when the greater of two evils won the White House!

Don't be a child. The presidency is far more than your personal feelings about any candidate.

NP here and yeah, I'm a bit concerned too. Will vote for whichever Dem gets the nominee, would not vote for any of those Republican clowns in a thousand years, but Hillary carries baggage. Regardless of whether or not she did anything wrong with the whole email thing, it is distracting and keeps her from getting her message out. Who know what other dirt will be found in the next year. Not to mention that there are a lot of people in this country that take into account personality more than issues- Bill was a charismatic guy. So was Bush. I know someone who didn't vote for Al Gore because he was "boring" or Kerry because he "seemed fake", and yet when pressed on the issues, definitely leans more Dem. Not everyone necessarily recognizes what's at stake.

Nominating HRC will make the odds of a Republican winning the presidency an almost foregone conclusion. I say this not with glee but in sadness because the country would be better off with a Democrat as president.

She is damaged beyond redemption.
