When Hillary supporters ask if I'll vote for her if she's the nominee

I tell them that first I'll need to see the transcripts of all her Wall street speeches and I'll need to hear her publicly, unequivocally, denounce fracking in all forms - then I'll think about it.
I don't even bother going into her email mess or the Clinton foundation shenanigans. Too in depth for most hill supporters.

If they fuck things up, it's on them.

This blaming the opposition when you fail fucking stops this election cycle.

of rhetoric. She essentially said she wouldn't support any fracking that might damage the environment. HELLO, ALL FRACKING DAMAGES THE ENVIRONMENT.

When you answer like that, you are just avoiding reality. It doesn't matter what the motive is, because the end result is the same. It contributes to harming the environment, and she knows it.

if a Bernie supporter asked me if I would vote for him if he were the nominee my response would simply be "of course I will"..

Fracking is an important issue for me and I want to know where she stands. I'm also concerned about what she said in her wall street speeches and why she won't release them. I don't expect any candidate to be perfect, but I do want to understand where they stand on certain issues. I would hope you would do the same with Bernie and not blindly give him your vote without learning where he stands on issues of importance to you. That's what we should all do.

...I would never ask you who you are voting for. I feel your vote and support is up to you and is none of my business.

It's that simple for me. There's also the case of Hillary's trustworthiness too. Her record and constant shifts in her policies and beliefs.

I think they are one and the same.

On both sides, they only worship money.

Before they decided to become the polar opposite of their beliefs. And a jackass. They were pretty liberal.

I think she is the worst thing that could happen to the nearly 400,000,000 people in this nation.

The world population of 7.4 billion, should be terrified.

should she win the GE. Since she's running as the candidate who can hit the floor running, she should get no honeymoon period from Progressives. Scrutiny and vigilance over nominees to staff agencies and policy decisions should begin the nanosecond after she wins the GE.

As for the fracking, words mean nothing. Once in office, she can fall back on the Congress as the obstacle to her implementing ... whatever.
