I do wanna say though, for this "inevitable nominee" tag that Clinton has, it surely never felt like it. From the get-go the Republicans and media constantly came after her. Right from day 1 of her saying she'll run. We have articles daily about how she's a liar, how she's too shrill, how she's too combative, too right winging, not showing enough humanity, too pandering, have had congress republicans go after her with the political witch hunt with the Benghazi hearings, the email controversy (which other republican SoS's have done), etc. Every slightly negative thing she's done is magnified and it's just not fair. Some of it has to do with sexism, some has to do with the fact she's popular within the Democratic Party, etc. I mean she won in Iowa her you have many articles stating she lost. You have the RNC chairman calling her Iowa performance an embarrassment because she tied (which she did not, she outright won) an insurgent candidate, you have people admitting clearly they are going after her, etc. if this is how an inevitable candidate is supposed to be treated then nobody wants to be in her position.

She is so hated when running for an office because these same attackers praised her when she stepped down as SoS so clearly there is an agenda against her. Imagine if Sanders had his main rival AND republicans attacking him with the same fervor people attack Clinton with.

That's why I love this woman she's so resilient and she's had to be all of her life. Being a woman doing this is even harder so I have the utmost respect for her and I hope, come November, I can call her Madam President

This woman argument is ridiculous. The fact that people feel they have to vote for her because she is a woman is absurd.

If she wasn't so corrupt then none of this would be a problem. The reason all of this has come out is because she is the way she is. She's totally non transparent and will do ANYTHING to win. She's disgusting. And please she is not some special case, Trump is treated in exactly the same manner in the media because they are both hugely controversial politicians.

And yes it was essentially a tie, the different in percentage was 0.3%. That's minuscule and the result was determined by a coin toss.

The hyperbole is strong in the above post. Turn down the hate.

Him and Clinton on the same ticket would be unbeatable tbh. Whoever wins needs to seriously put the other in the veepstakes

Though I just heard CNN say $5M in this kind of election is actually an insignificant amount. So hopefully this means Clinton's supporters are also energized too

Can't happen anymore unfortunately.

How often does a losing candidate become VP to the nominee

Hmm. Depends.

Not often but Obama beat Biden in 2008 and he was the VP.

Often enough. Recently, George H.W. Bush and Joe Biden were losing candidates in the primaries before getting the VP slots.

The fact that you still think the vote was won by a coin toss...

I never said they have to vote for her for being a woman. She's just attacked at an unfair angle because she's a woman.

Like I said in the post, there's no proof that she was corrupt so I'm over that. Trump is not treated the same media wise though, simply because he's a male.

Oops my bad. Well I guess it's very often

This is unsubstantiated.

I misspoke on Gore, to be fair. He ran a campaign in 1988, but not in 1992. Still, it's common for losing primary candidates to get a VP slot.

No it isn't.

She's constantly called #Shillary on Twitter, she was attacked by Trump saying "how can she please a country when she can't please her husband in bed", she's constantly being made fun of for the way she laughs, people make fun of her hairstyles she wears, etc. She is definitely treated unfairly because she's a woman

"Believed that marriage was defined as between a man and woman and reversed her position only in 2013 when it became politically convenient "

You people really need to stop parroting this when Bernie is just as guilty. Quit being hypocritical.
