28. I think you're right

She doesn't make good choices. I liked Hillary just fine before the primary. Now, if she's the nominee, I will vote for her, but kind of like how you handle a dirty diaper. You know it has to be done, and you love the kid, but ew.

And I don't think it's her fault. It's her horrible, horrible campaign. I do empathize with her because she lived so long in Bill's narcissistic shadow; this should finally be her time to shine and she sees the respect and admiration slipping away because of her lousy choice of advisers. And sure, also some personal weakness (hint: do not lose your cool with a Greenpeace activist unnecessarily, and do not ask a reporter whether he meant did you wipe the servers with a cloth). Still, if she's the nominee and people hate Cruz as much as we hear they do, it'll be nice to have the first female President. I wish it had been Elizabeth Warren, but there's still hope for that someday.
