110. I would never support Trump or a GOP candidate. Never. Been left all my life.

Wed May 18, 2016, 03:18 PM

May 2016

But I'm having a really hard time coming around to Hillary. Being reminded of how Hillary has also corrupted the DNC, allowed lobbyist money, etc doesn't help.

I've supported Democrats consistently since the 60s. This is the first time I've ever had a problem supporting their very likely candidate for President. I've never felt this way about a Dem candidate for President before => I can't stand her lying, flip-flops, dirty tricks, hobnobbing with the wealthy who basically own her candidacy, policy positions that flirt with being Republican, that I think she'll get into another war, etc. It goes against so many of my convictions that I'd feel very hypocritical.

I hardly post on this site any more. I don't feel like lying about it but I don't want to get in the way of those working for her. I've thrown up my hands in bewilderment as I don't want to turn my back on Democrats.

It's not a good feeling.
