(5,180 posts)I'm not a major fan of Hillary's, but I do prefer her to any Republican hopeful in sight. Both Bill and Barack have disappointed me, but Dubya appalled me and Jeb... PLEASE! Such is our sad political system of viable candidates today. There's absolutely no chance we'll have a real liberal savior by next year. I love Warren, but realistically she is desperately needed where she is for now. I HATE the lesser of two evils thing, but it's not quite THAT bad. I 'm afraid that Howard Dean, Jerry Brown, or any other decent liberal in that ilk, will not appeal to our increasingly besieged and therefore "dumbed down" electorate. I'm often surprised at some of the struggling workers( men included) I've met who support Hillary. The woman is bright, savvy, and exceptionally experienced. Her obvious Wall St. flaws are shared, at worst, by any Republican candidate who could possibly be nominated. It should be obvious by now that the POTUS can not make everything right. Obstruction that Obama has faced is even worse than (traitor to his class), FDR, a white man of privilege. The nation was just way more desperate, forced to pay attention, and willing to grasp at any hope in the 1930's.
