I tend to trust my own innate judgment about people, having learned in general that the larger and louder the chorus the less they probably know. A little history should serve to point out that often the single small voice is closer to truth than the thousand cacaphonous brays, that smear is a standard technique to be guarded against, that enormous and impressive edifices built to the sky often crumble away after a time because the foundations were sand --

'Common sense.' Common sense told me Barack Obama was a dedicated civil servant. Common sense tells me Hillary is a dedicated civil servant. It's what I care about. Civil service. Dedication to the American Idea, which should in its purest form guide humanity to better and better futures. That's what I love. That's what I see in those two people. Dedicated, thoughtful, civil service.

Yes, humans make mistakes, and we need to choose leadership for competence. She had it. She would have helped. Considering the purposeful degradation of civil life and the tattered state of our democracy, we were lucky to have someone like her -- just like we were sooooo lucky to have Barack Obama.

Good critical thinking is essential to growing beyond the standard primal mob-mind that was so important a million years ago but now threatens the species. The facts are on her side, and no steady stream of invective from the well-pressed should be able to sway the heart of True Americans.
