66. Hey...if we replaced Hillary Clinton with Elizabeth Warren...

Fri Jun 3, 2016, 05:37 PM

Jun 2016

She'd win my vote over Bernie. It would be difficult because I admire and respect both very much. I could almost decide between the two with a coin flip. I believe, and not to sound ageist, that the fact that she's younger may very will be the deciding factor...IF it were Bernie and Warren.

But it's not. It's Hillary. For me it has nothing to do with her gender. I agree that it's time for a woman president. I, however, do not believe Hillary should be that woman. Why? I don't agree with her centrist views. When someone tells me that Single Payer will never happen...I believe her that it will never happen under her administration. To that end, I also don't agree with her "can't do" attitude.

Female or male, white or black, jew or gentile matters not in regards to my vote. I want the best person for the job. And I don't think Hillary is that person.

And yes...very ugly. No hides or flags in 11 1/2 years. Last two months? I've had nearly a dozen. A few of them deserved. Most though have been personal.
