I am a big Hillary supporter. That does not mean I see her without flaws. Serious flaws. There is no better time to highlight those flaws than now. Members of this board are passionate about their politics. Why can't you wrap your head around the fact that limited regulation capitalism and the economy are flat out number one on some peoples list as to what will bring us down quickest. If not bring us down, then kill a lot of innocents along the way(hunger, housing, etc.).

Also, your use of the term "right wing," what are you talking about? One or two of the most extreme members of congress and their supporters, or are you including people like Charlie Crist and Jeb Bush. You lack of definition in that are makes the whole op nonsensical. Terrorist has a meaning.
