In reply to the discussion: How come Hillary supporters can't present an argument for her? [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)The rest of the thread is scattered with a few of "the usual suspects." There is a core of "Hillary haters" here who are more vitriolic than the rightwing "Stop Hillary!!!" (perhaps I should have mixed up a few 111s in with my !!!-- !!1!1!!1!!) crews. They get their anti-Hillary screeds from rightwing sites, and they don't even realize how many friends HRC has across the spectrum in the Big Tent that is the Democratic Party.
She's a consensus builder--not a didactic, inflexible, my-way-or-the-highway, do-what-I-say-or-I'll-take-my-ball-and-go-home whiney crabber. She has worked with Bernie Sanders (and contributed to his Senate campaign) and she has gritted her teeth and worked with John McCain. She doesn't let petty gripes or ideological differences get in the way of achieving what is possible. That, to me, is a LEADER. I don't want a preacher to the choir in the WH, I want someone who will make things happen.
Tina Fey said it best: She gets shit done.
So get past your objections, and get Ready For Hillary!
