In reply to the discussion: U.K. Independant: Donald Trump will win the presidency by a landslide (against Hillary) [View all]Gene Debs
(582 posts)I have asked this question numerous times on open threads on this site, and not once have I ever gotten a response from a Clinton supporter. Not one single response. Zero. Crickets. (which, to be fair, was exactly what I expected...)
So I'm asking you, justhanginon, directly. This is the text of the question I posted:
"So let me ask this, in all seriousness. What exactly is it about Hillary Clinton that makes her most breathless supporters so on fire to see her become President? And I mean something substantive, not that vague sense that she's "awesome" that seems to be the cornerstone of so many of her supporters' convictions.
Is it her trade policy? Because that sucks. Is it her foreign policy experience? Because that's nothing to be proud of either. Is it her stances on minimum wage and income inequality and gay rights? Because she came late to all those parties, too, and when she got there her reluctance was palpable. Is it because she's a woman? if that's the case, I can only conclude that they'd be equally happy with Carly Fiorina or Sarah Palin. Is it her pledge to "take on" Wall Street? Because that one's laughable on its face.
So please tell me, because I don't get it."
Well?
