2. I'll go with my own instincts

Apr 2013

1) I was a TOTAL Hillary supporter in the '08 primaries, was (also) blindsighted by OBAMA, thought the skinny jean girls were a gimmick (they were), thought his HUNDREDS of promises were mind-blowing, thought the rhetorical flourishes were fluff, and, yes, thought the followers were a CULT.

2) The AMATEURISH (wasteful millions) of Hillary's campaign (funneling millions to establishment a-holes p.r.) led me to believe that she was just doing what you are supposed to do, not CONNECTED to people.

3) Her credentials: Senator, meh, safe seat in NY like Bobby KENNEDY. Then what a FANTASTIC Secretary of State she was - uh, what exactly did she do as SoS - fly around the planet and have diplomatic teas.

4) I went out of my way to go to the only rally on my area, and the person was TIRED. She's (my age?), and being RAYGUN's age is not a plus.

That's whadagottasay.
