(2,900 posts)Your problem is that you are hating what must be dealt with. Hate creates blind spots. We are going to need to elect someone in 2016. That someone is going to have to be elected in our system of politics. That means someone who is known and who has some backing. And at election time, that means about a billion dollars in backing for the winning side. Maybe more. In this cycle, Hillary can probably raise that much money. Maybe Joe Biden can, but it will be tougher for him than Clinton. If our nominee wins, then we can hope for good judicial appointees and policies that are better for us than if the Republican wins. Cruz and Rubio and Christy seem to be the early Republican contenders. Any of those three would set the country back tremendously.
If not Hillary, then who can do it? There is no substitute for winning. She can fight and she knows how and has a record of doing just that. Is she perfect? No. But she is a very good choice and can win.
