Back in the 90's when my father was alive, he was a big fan of Hillary. (Even more so than Bill) His explanation was "She is the smartest person in any room she is in". And that is the root of the problem. The powers that be - in business, the media, in politics have never been able to handle that. Her graduation speech put her in the national spotlight - and while women and progressives praised her passion, the male mainstream became immediately threatened. When she appeared on the political scene smart capable out spoken women were a new phenomenon for old southern boys. so the trash talk that came from Arkansas followed her to Washington. There the daily poison by limpballs and the meme established by old white guys in board rooms cemented forever the #1 talking point.

Anyone who has been bombarded for 30+ years like she has and is still standing is worth our vote. And i'm a Bernie Sanders voter.

I am praying we get a glimpse of the real Hillary at some point. She will always be guarded. As would anyone who has had to protect her soul from limpuglicants.

If anyone thought the wingnuts would have used every bow in their quiver against Obama, will be shocked to see what those troglodytes are going to throw at her.
