Hillary is my second choice after Bernie. BUT...no way I won't support Hillary. She definitely has outstanding experience compared to any other candidate. And she's definitely on the hot seat compared to any other candidate. Political fairness and the "loyal opposition" went down the tubes somewhere around Reagan. I discounted the "vast right wing conspiracy" thing, but now think that was putting it lightly. If your name is Clinton, you're fair game not only to Repugs, but the media as well. Is it Murdock/Ailes (only one a U.S. citizen) domination or what? If I were Hillary, I'd be too exhausted to continue; but realize that is not a choice for her .Bill's worldwide respect and popularity is a thorn in the Republican side. Now the right-wingers go on about U.S.popularity declining since Obama. Not true at all. The difference between Obama's and Bill Clinton's reputation in the world? Cheney for sure doesn't dare visit many countries; Bush: not sure of the of the situation with him. Do we have any previous examples of former U.S. administrations in that situation?
