Hillary Clinton

(68,868 posts)Yep, I'm in!
I'm in the "Build on what we already got" camp , rather than let's tear it all down, which is what the Republicans will do on day one, if we don't make this woman our nominee.
Plus I really resent how this brilliant, qualified and experienced woman (whomever can't at least give her is a sad person, IMO!),is being demonized not only by the news media and Republicans, but by some of the Bernie Supporters I have encountered on Facebook. Any questions that I had in reference to Bernie are responded to with "well Hillary is this and that"....like that constitutes an answer! Seriously?
I asked on FB what his educational background was (cause I didn't know, and though I had googled, I only found U of Chicago, but didn't know in what or if there was a graduate degree or what). Guy responded, he got a BA in Political Science from U of Chicago, and then another post from same guy saying, Reagan had a BA from Emerson college, class of '35. Like why are you bringing up Reagan????
Sure, I have some FB friends that I know here at DU that are supporting Bernie, and that's fine too! I guess I've just always been more of a realist! I predicted that Kerry would lose the general, and that Obama would win it! I am ready to predict that if Hillary is our nominee, she will kick Republican asses and take no prisoners! It's much more complicate and delicate for the Clinton camp to go for blood in a primary, as was witnessed the last go around (and yeah...I didn't like it one bit, but if Obama got over it, then so did I!), and somewhat now as well. But Republicans? I don't give a Sh*t what she's got to do to get to the White House, in terms of their sorry arses! And I have faith, she will get it done!
I will donate for my 2nd time tomorrow, and will do so each week till there's no more need!
