(3,498 posts)The Clinton "brand" is a stain on the Oval office.
Republicans will rally around that idea to mobilize
their base to donate and GOTV.
Ignoring the mind numbing idiocy of Emailgate,
the Clinton brand is scandal ridden.
Missteps, poor word choice, and misremembering
surround the entire Clinton legacy.
Yet we should ignore all the bad decisions and vote Hillary?
It should be obvious that Hillary places her political ambitions
above what is best for the Democratic party, and the country.
Rather than put the party through the grueling and demoralizing
exercise of defending damaged goods Hillary should support
a better, untainted candidate, that would reflect well on the
party and actually HELP down ballot candidates.
We need that "new car smell", not a tired retread.
Hillary will be the single best fundraiser... for the republicans.
Is there a Democrat who would be more effective at mobilizing
right-wingers to donate and get out the vote?
Simultaneously, Hillary will demoralize the Democratic Wing.
The net result being depressed voter turnout, hurting the party.
Of course when the right-wing wins it will be the fault of
the "left" because they didn't march lockstep.
Hillary also has a serious health concern, blood clots.
In the event she is medically incapacitated that would
put a republican one step closer to the oval office!
But somehow we should overlook the polarizing nature
of the Clinton brand and vote for Hillary, because...
SCOTUS, woman, not a registered republican
