Hillary supporters on hide?). I saw where you quoted one person, but frankly it looks like your OP is spin and bullshit. Both Hillary and Trump are horrible candidates with baggage and unprecedented legal problems; a large percentage of the country actively dislikes one or both (I'm a member of that majority) and doesn't want them anywhere near the Oval Office and that is before one brings their spouses into the discussion.

If you aren't happy with the way the admins run DU, perhaps you would be happier elsewhere. Right now primary season is in force, and people are allowed to discuss the MANY reasons they hate Hillary as a candidate. I realize this can be unpleasant for those who don't like to hear it, but hating Hillary doesn't make one a Trump supporter except in the minds of the deluded.
