with Hillary, and if she is the candidate, I'll vote for her.
That said, if she is the best the Democratic party has to run, we have a LOT of problems.

(45,251 posts)Or are you implying that all beefs with Hillary are petty?
If so, I disagree. I don't think a beef with the kind of campaign she ran against an African American fellow Democrat is petty. I don't think think a beef with her advocating for the Iraq War is petty.
I don't think a beef with even taking a war vote, let alone urging others so to do, without even bothering to read the National Intelligence Estimate is petty. I don't think a beef with her giving various excuses about that vote, then finally saying her vote was a mistake because she is wants to run is petty.
Imagine being the parent or spouse or offspring of an American who died or is disabled for life because of that vote and listening to all the things she has said about that vote. I don't know if I could live with that statement at all if that were my situation. It isn't my situation and I still have a hard time living with it.
(By the way, I would bet my home that the calls she got, referenced early in the video, ran 10 or more to 1 against invading Iraq.)
