Obama urges Dems to campaign aggressively for Clinton

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE

 

CHILMARK, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama is urging Democrats to campaign aggressively for the next 80 days for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

 

Obama says 80 days is not a lot to ask of them because Clinton could still lose if Democrats don't do their jobs. He says there's nothing more important than helping her become the next president.

 

Obama told Clinton supporters at a fundraiser on Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, that Democrats need to be "running scared" until the day after the Nov. 8 election.

 

Obama pointedly did not mention Donald Trump by name and said he's tired of talking about the Republican candidate.

 

The president broke from his vacation on the island to help raise money for Clinton. He says his wife, Michelle, granted him "special dispensation" to do so.

" Urge to aggressively campaign " while burying any attempts to uncover Hilary's damming emails regarding the news that the Clinton's foundations was engaged in " pay for play " with the foundations donors, whereby, if you pay, we open the doors for you in the US to play, and the FBI and Obama are in collusions to quash any investigations in to the allegations....

You'd think Obama would have always though Sanders to be the more capable candidate and the one with better values. Oh well.

Values is not a criteria for an endorsement from Obama.

He may have but he did the diplomatic thing and waited for a definite winner, Clinton, to emerge before offering ANY endorsement. I'm sure he would have endorsed Sanders IF he had won the nomination. Let's move on. The election now is Clinton vs. trump.

Democrats from President Obama on down through the ranks are completely avoiding the 'L' word of Landslide. The Double-L word.

 

It is a dangerous word to use when one party is so far ahead in all the polling and in all the indications concerning the direction of the events and developments of the election.

 

Even left of center media are hardly using the L word, if at all. To use the L word means the party benefiting from the coming L can get complacent. It can become overconfident. It can become lazy. Worst of all, outside of the campaign structures and organisation, it can affect voters to disinterest them and to lull them in to a sense of passivity that would be negative on election day. It can make donors listless.

 

That said, President Obama, Hillary Clinton and the Clinton campaign know the 92% of Democrats who support HRC for Potus are eager and determined to vote on election day. This is a huge percentage and raw number of support and it is the key to winning this election. 

 

The 2016 election is not the proverbial choice between tweedledum and tweedledee. It is the stark and profound choice between voting for the radical Ignoramus wildman lunatic Donald Trump or the steady, experienced, most highly qualified and capable Hillary Clinton. 

 

We can't wait for election day to send Trump and his extremist crackpot rightwingers back through the Gates of Hell from whence they came.  Everyone can count on it. For sure. 

 

Double-L all the same.

 

Aka: a wave election (in more neutral and polite terms). This is conversely a term we can expect to begin to see as the polling solidifies by mid-September at the latest. Accordingly, be prepared to either look forward to its introduction to the campaign or to dread its advent.

People who riot don't vote -- it would be rare.

 

The people who vote are opposed to riots, whether the rioters are the police looking like the Russian mechanized infantry in our cities or the certain few of the lawless local residents themselves.

 

To try to connect President Obama to rioters (or to ISIS) is the cultural cliche' of the far out right, i.e., the whackjob Republican Party of 2016 and its supporter fanboyz. The people who get their information on the Democratic party from Vladimir Putin. The people who clutch onto those fringe goings on that are going down to defeat in November.

 

Those people.

Obama, like me and tens of millions of Americans want what's best for our country.  

 

Top of the list: keep a dangerous flip-flopper from gaining the Oval Office.

 

As Jingthing said; if Sanders had won the Dem nomination, Obama would be full tilt behind him.  Similarly, if Jill Stein (Green Party) was the most prominent contender opposing Trump, Obama would be fully behind her candidacy.   HRC is the best hope to send Trump back to where he belongs (dealing with bankruptcies and lawsuits claiming he doesn't pay workers as promised), so that's a big reason why Obama backs her.

 

Just as important, Obama knows her and has seen what she has achieved in her several decades of public service.   He also knows Trump, and can clearly see who the better candidate is.
