I'm not a Hillary supporter in the primary, but I don't disrespect any who are. Everybody has their reasons, and it's a fact that there isn't a dime's worth of difference in terms of the kind of America they each envision. Hillary will make a great president, as will Barack.

My problem with the Clinton political machine is in its willingness to use tactics that degrade other Dems. Democrats generally don't like to see their candidates attack other Democrats, especially ones we like and most of us like both of the remaining candidates very much.

This election season, we had a slew of great candidates. They were all a little different from each other, but in the end their vision for our country was strikingly similar. Just because we're down to two doesn't mean it's time to play cutthroat. We have to win this one and we can't allow our desire for one or another candidate to ruin those chances.

I hope Hillary and Barack will unite and pledge from here on to promote themselves and the Democratic brand, but just say no to negativity. I also hope that the candidates' supporters will do the same and show each other respect. We all want to see a big change come November and we musn't blow it by attacking each other.

Let's save that for the Republicans.
