50. I never said that

Apr 2015

I just meant that every single negative thing that DUers have posted as to reasons why I shouldn't vote for Hillary, I've heard them.

And still not enough reason to keep me from pulling the lever for her come November 2016 should she get the nomination.

My only reason I'm not supporting Hillary right now is because I keep wondering if Joe Biden is going to run. I'm from Delaware and been a fan of his from the first time he ran back in 1988. I am also a big fan of the guy down south of us with Martin O'Malley from Maryland.

What I do admire about Hillary is that I have never ever seen on woman have so much bullshit thrown her way and she does not crumble or cower. She has a strength to her that the GOP fears so they have to break her down by going negative on her. That pisses me off to no end.

This was never meant to be anything against Hillary but more towards the fifty trillion posts we will get from DUers telling us yet again why they will never ever vote for Hillary.
