even if she were the only person running, walked on water, and angels escorted her everywhere. There is just soooo much hate inside them they would never vote for her. We need to find someone in between her and Bernie (heavier on the Bernie side) that will appeal to at least some of that 'never a Clinton, never a woman' crowd. Not sure who that would be. We will definitely need a "Healer in chief" and a "VP Healer in chief" when the current administration gets done with America. If we choose the correct people, maybe we can get a good 16-year run of Dem leadership and fix as much damage as possible before the goofballs and turncoats do us in again.

Also, we're going to need someone who draws people out and to the polls to win in a total landslide, beyond anything they can try to steal or manipulate "just enough".
