(8,200 posts)It is difficult for me to comprehend the extent of actual hatred that has been demonstrated on this board. No I don't think the Hilary Clinton is not without flaws, but to totally disregard her service to the country as a senator and Secretary of State is little too much for me. I didn't hear any derogatory comments about her service before she appeared as a likely candidate for the nomination.
She was widely acclaimed as an excellent Secretary of State not only by Democrats but also, gasp, Republicans. The Republicans lost no time in attacking her with ridiculous charges. Now I see some of the same excesses from supposed loyal Democrats that declare they will sit out the election if she is nominated. I guess that some are willing to throw out the baby with the bath water.
I assure them that defeating Clinton if she is the nominee and securing a Republican victory would be Pyrrhic victory that they won't long savor. I can only hope that the heat of the battle doesn't obscure the fact that the Republicans and their menu for the working class are the real enemy to be feared. I welcome the support Sanders, but I don't welcome the overblown rhetoric.
