HEY Hillary Group Supporters....

How do you minimize, rationalize, justify, or excuse:

* Big Dawg Bill's illegal crashing of the polls in Massachusetts? (100K+ signatures to the Sec'ty of state to prosecute!)
* HRC continued friendship with war criminal Kessinger? It took 35 years for SE Asia to recover from his judgment which is exactly what is happening in Libya!
* HRC's accepting money from Wall Street, the NRA, etc.? Now she owes them...what?
* HRC's support of Monsanto? (Sidebar to Cha: you have 1st-hand knowledge of what GMO's are doing to Kauai and Hawaii !)
* The DNC's rigging of the primaries in HRC's favor? It flies in the face of fairness and good faith.
* The “lost” of 600+ votes for Bernie in Virginia?
* The omission of Bernie Sander's from the sample ballot in Chicago?

The list could go on and on. Hillary's actions speak waaay louder than her words. I couldn't justify it and switched my support to Bernie.

I suppose this post will get voted into oblivion by HRC supporters as mean and hurtful, but it's how I feel and what I believe.

SOP for Clinton supporters.

Because Clinton has nothin' on Bernie on issues.

6. Almost all of that is BS. Sanders might offer better fantasies, but Clinton is the better candidate.

13. Why is Clinton a better candidate when polls after polls

show that she is unelectable in the GE?

Loses to everyone except maybe Trump by 1%.

Bernie defeats every single Republican by a wide margin of at least 7%.

Bernie is highly qualified, a natural leader, someone we need in this environment RIGHT now. it seems like Clinton is a follower of most of Bernie's policies in this primary, with no intention of keeping any of Bernie's policies in the GE, turning heavily right, as predicted.

I'l discuss issues with you, and ready to do it right now. Clinton has really a pisspoor record on foreign policy, which is a major issue dealing with terrorism and immigration issues. This includes Syria, Libya, Iraq and Honduras as foreign policy disasters. I believe Bernie has a sound foreign policy. Yes, at first he stumbled on it, but he's gotten a really strong message on it.

16. Those who have voted (and polls of those who will vote soon) appear to disagree with you.

When she can focus on going after GOPers, the polls you are relying on will change.

is that the Illinois official absentee ballot had Bernie's name on it and I was able to choose between them. So proud to vote for Sec. Clinton. The rest of the criticisms are pretty much subjective and or b.s.

Instead of the candidate being responsive to the electorate, it's the exact reverse with Hillary supporters. They will bend their principles and political beliefs and critical thinking skills to be in sync with whatever HRC does.

He didn't, same as Scalia and RBG, nothing, there's nothing wrong with them, they didn't, I have no idea but it wouldn't affect the results, not an official government document, your support of Bernie was "cemented" on or before February 22, and your post will be upvoted into the stratosphere because this isn't reddit.

17. The HRC's attempt to "FIX" the election is criminal and I think

that this kind of evil be stopped, legally. When this type of illegality is allowed to continue, our founders are being disavowed.

20. Fix the election?

In the primaries and caucuses we've had so far ... HRC has received over 60% of the votes. In pledged delegates (not super delegates) HRC is currently leading Sanders by over 200. On March 15 that gap is going to grow.

How is that "fixing" the election?

19. For starters, the Massachusetts SecState explained why Bill's actions were legal.

- Regarding Kissinger, lots of folks are friends with predecessors in positions to get insight on the things they learned. Its much better to learn from other people's mistakes than to learn from your own.

- Hillary hasn't accepted money from wall street or the NRA.

- I'm not a fan of Big agra or modified foods, but the scientific community has said that there is no issue with genetically modified foods. Thats enough to remove it from my list of things to be worried about.

- The DNC hasnt rigged any primaries.

- There are no lost votes for Bernie in Virginia and Bernie lost that state in a landslide.

- The omission from Sanders in a sample ballot is a non-issue.

next?
