I know a lot of Hillary supporters would like all of us to think that Hillary is so inevitable that no other candidate should run in the primary, but that is not how democracy works. That is not how the Democratic Party works. I would like to see Elizabeth Warren and a couple of other candidates run. I do not think that we should nominate a candidate who has not faced strong primary challenges. We will be sorry if we do.

By the way, if you are a Hillary supporter, where does she stand on the TPP? on student loan interest rates? on passing a new Glass-Steagall law? on limiting H1-B visas until our unemployment (and the real numbers not those based on job-seekers) numbers are below 5% -- the real numbers are below 5%?

Where does Hillary stand on the issues that Warren raises? Would she, like Bill, appoint a Chicago school economist like Greenspan to head the Fed?

So many questions about Hillary, and when I ask questions like these, I never get answers from her advocates.

Hillary is not the candidate. She is not the incumbent. All who wish to run in the presidential primary should run.
