Then you have nothing to worry about, oh other than the fact that the GOP will never allow anyone but one of their own to get the nomination, meaning the candidate will NOT be Cruz, Rubio or Rand.

So some republican gang somewhere starts a tweet and then gets a bunch of bots to respond to it so it LOOKS like it is trending among real people.

Then a real live person comes along who hasn't got the sense that god gave a stone and sees it, and their mind is made up: Aint voting for Hillary.

Then Fox News gets one of their babes to report the "story".

Politics, 2016.

Don't really need them. It's the minority and the independents that will come out to vote.

Obviously i dont speak for the entire Democratic Party, but I havent met any leftist who were anti hillary.

also, that hashtag is now gone.


#Hillary2016 is now the #1 trending topic.


see how quickly things change.
Yeah. You were 16 when she was a "sure thing" last time....maybe we'll see how quickly things change again.

P.S. If you haven't met anyone from the left with real issues with hillary's track record then you're hanging around democratic loyalists and not real lefties.

I took a look through the tweets, and it's not quite what you right wing nuts may be hoping for:

Here's a few:








Republicans can't even mount a twitter campaign successfully.
The majority of the tweets weren't those sarcastic tweets. You probably had to look really hard to find all of those. And there were tweets with the "#Hillary2016" tag that said things like "no thanks" or "not in a million years."

Too late, it hasn't been trending since Sunday, the right is posting fumes.
The OP made it out like Trending on Twitter was a big deal and indicative of HC's issues with the younger generation but it is just farts in the wind and another place for left and right to post their partisan talking points.

The right can of course handwring and moan all they want and of course democratic primary voters will ignore them.

Hillary frankly scares the HECK out of me because with the repubs controlling the house and senate (She hurt a couple key senate races grandstanding with anti-gun statements)....that sets the stage for a presidency like her hubbys where they caved to the Repubs to pass NAFTA and repeal those pesky banking laws that helped stage the financial crisis.
