41. Gad! At what point did you "like" her, may I ask?

I'm wondering if she perhaps reminded you of your mommy way back then? (That's just a joke.)

I'm afraid I still disagree about just what you and your co-calumners "deserve" from her. That she does not share your ideology and therefore does not meet your standards of what you want in a president in no way excuses villainizing her and believing and spreading untruths untruths about her, or giving aid and comfort to others who do. Did you ever ask yourself if you would meet her standard of what a citizen should be?

In any case, none of you have any right to president who'll give you what you say you want at the cost of shifting positions and betraying the promises she's been making all along to her supporters. She has above all promised us to be a competent, effective president, not a failed president, which most of us believe she would be if she tried to carry out Bernie's promises to you.

You know, you can just continue to run with her enemies right up until she is elected -- if she is in spite of all the people behaving like you on both the right and left. At that point, though, in spite of everything, she would owe it to all of you to be the best president she can. That is by her definition as signed off on by those who supported for her, though, not the definition of someone who grudgingly chose a dripping faucet over a flood.
