and go with another. This is such stupid thinking that those delivering it should be chased out of our political leadership at once and for all time.
If they do this, they wear the blame for the failures they are endorsing. And really, I don't want to vote for Clinton anyway. Too many years voting for war and discrimination, refusing to support marriage equality until it was a done deal, she's craven and does not represent me.
