Hillary Clinton stresses unity in S.F. speech

42. Respectfully, I think the opposition will be just as bad

Race may be the genuine pretext that they use to hate and oppose President Obama and I have no doubt that the racist element is out there in full force and more among the rabid Republican base but, ultimately, it won't make much difference in terms of who the next Democratic President is

You only have to look back to the Clinton years and the rabid right-wing opposition to Bill Clinton based on his lack of national service, his marital infidelity and so on and so on. Ultimately, they will hate any Democratic President because he or she is a Democratic President and their race, gender, religion is secondary to that underlying fact

If Mrs. Clinton becomes President, the pretext for the hate will change but it will still be there as large as it was with President Obama or indeed with her husband. A leopard doesn't change its spots just because there is a change of season
