Much worse then

I've stayed completely out of the candidates debates this time.

Last time I supported Joe Biden... then Obama.

I would have gladly supported Barbara Boxer or Russ Feingold had either of them run.

I just have never been all that excited about Hillary. I think we could do better. I think the Clinton's are both paranoid... mostly because they have stuff to hide AND because the Repukes / right wing nut jobs DO hate them and go after them with a passion. Hence the email flap. I worked for the government for 10 years. I carried two cells phones and had two email accounts and two laptops. One for work, one for personal stuff. Its not that hard AND I don't have a staff or personal assistant. Even today, I still do that. She put all of her email on a private server because she did NOT want to have Republican congress trolling through everything she emailed. She wanted it private and controlled. It was a huge mistake.

If she wins, I will vote for her. But I think we could have a better candidate this time too: Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders (although I have problems with each of them).

Whatever. I will vote and contribute money for Democrats... all Democrats. I hate Republicans... even moderates. If they have a "R" after their name... I really want them to go away and die someplace. I don't love all Democrats, but I will support them anyway.
