I do have very, very mixed feelings about it....to say the least.

YES, better Hillary than any RWers, and especialy Trump.
YES, it shows that finally, some RWers are less insane that we thought.

But,
Given both Clintons history of weird ties with the Bush family, (dont get me started with a certain 2004 campaign, or with 2008 primary season), and given the that long documented relationships, you can´t help not only to feel mxed, as it also will feed again the «all the same» Drumpf narrative, and therfore be counter productive in long term. Both on Election Day and on eventual Clinton presidency.

I mean, it can create more distrust in politics among the voter.
Any Bush now is associated with Iraq Invasion lies.
