representing my own views- which often don't fit with a "side". Look, I don't mean to speak in terms beyond your ken, but we clearly don't approach politics in the same way.

I respect most of Clinton's supporters here. I certainly believe that they're sincere in their support. Many are issue oriented and thoughtful about why they support her.

and O'Malley is the only person that I have supported. My support is tentative.

I don't need saving from HRC. As has so oft been pointed out, she's better than anyone on the other side.

You never discuss issues. Your support of Hillary is not impressive. You are unbelievably defensive.

Just my opinion- of course.
