Like others of kindred spirit here, however, I wonder why on a Democratic forum, we have so much snark about an eminently qualified candidate, who stands so far above anything that the other side now has - or will have - to offer that there isn't even a logical measure of comparison.

Until there is a Democratic candidate who is better than Hillary on all issues - and who is both running and electable in the 2016 election - I will support Hillary's candidacy in every way and I will not apologize for that support in any way whatsoever to anyone here.

At 70+, I have lived through too many Presidential election cycles where the best Dem hope was more savagely torn apart by Democrats than by Republicans that I sincerely hope that at least some of the snarkers here will come to their senses before it's too late. Because if whoever is ultimately the Democratic nominee is not able to count on members of his/her own party, we will yet again vote (or not) against our own best interests.

And so it goes ...
