11. Well, I apologize if that is what you need. I of course voted for her.

My first choice was Bernie. But I thought at the time the climate was shit. I thought that Bernie could get the people out. Trump stole his stuff and told them what they wanted to hear...Bernie’s stuff.

I know what she is. She is the person who is most qualified and who has the right stuff to be a great president. But she also has a history, not any fault of her own, but one created by the right.

Bill won in 92 and what hatred was started in Arkansas was continued nationwide. When she said she’s not a Tammy Wynette stand by your man kind of woman I could not believe the fireworks. It was absurd. And it continued with the whole of the right wing media.

I’ve always liked the one who could get the job done. Being from Mass, I liked Paul Tsongas. I liked Mondale in 1984. Those two were not the most charismatic but they actually knew what they were doing.

Hillary is not exactly like the two. She has charisma, but not to her husband’s level, and she is the technocrat I would have loved to see as president.

I guess I apologize for not always believing in her, but she is someone who could have carried on for Obama, with Democrats controlling Congress, and corrected the past, welcomed NATO, said go piss to Putin, and figured how far down in our security is Russia. FUCK TRUMP!

But there is one thing she could not overcome. And that is not why she lost. Comey did that. It was the decades of trashing her to the point that the uninformed believed the shit said about her.
