(8,377 posts)Hillary was not my first choice. She has run an excellent campaign.
And in complete fairness, there are two reasons why I preferred Bernie:
1) Bernie is a bit more direct on key progressive issues, which is not necessarily the best way to get things done.
2) Hillary's "negatives"
But on that second point, what is that? Polls say she is considered less honest than Trump? WTF?
After thinking on this, I have come to the conclusion that we have been extraordinarily unfair to this woman. Ask anybody to actually cite specific examples of how Hillary has not been honest. They cannot. All they can do is throw out buzzwords like "emails", "Whitewater", or "Benghazi". But where is the meat? Those are just vague generalities that mean nothing. When you ask for details, there isn't anything.
Kenneth Starr spent millions of dollars and 4 years trying to prove something about Whitewater and never came up with anything other than innuendo. Vince Foster? All of these things are just innuendo.
Let's understand what we are up against. There has been a continuous, intense, 25-year campaign to destroy this woman. It is character assassination that is based on practically no facts. It is just "the drumbeat" that never stops for that entire 25 years.
And here's the thing, if they can do this to Hillary, they can do it to anybody else. It is no different from the Birther attacks against Obama. We must stand up against this, and I am confident that is exactly what will happen on Tuesday.

I believe Obamas race drove their hatred up a few notches,
but their hatred of liberals in general
Is enough to send them over the edge, no matter who we nominate

(8,377 posts)It wasn't always this way. There was a time when it was a contest of ideas. But what solutions have you heard Trump present this time? Not a single one -- other than some vague nonsense about a wall.
They cannot talk about their ideas because the people don't like the ideas if they are able to understand them. That's why W never said a word about killing Social Security until after the election, and then he said "I have lots of political capital" that he would use to end Social Security.

(80 posts)Ever since I saw Sander's America ad, which I thought was so inspiring. Okay, Perry is not Simon and Garfunkle, but I'll take it.
calimary
(85,128 posts)That Simon & Garfunkel ad was pretty significant, for sure. I'm old enough to remember when that song was current! But THIS "Roar" ad is FANTASTIC!
Her ads have been amazing this entire cycle.

(24,482 posts)I love this advertisement, it really captures what this election is all about. I would love to see this running all the time on TV, so uplifting and strong and brave. I want her to be president and to have a Senate that won't block everything she does and less Repugs in House. I want America to continue moving in the right direction, not change into Nazi Germany or even worse under der orange fuhrer.
