(57,936 posts)Not at this point. The choice now is between Hillary and having a primary with alternative candidates. I want the primary.
And no. I will not vote for Hillary. I am in California, and as I have explained many times, if Hillary is our candidate, and if she has not won by the time California counts its votes, she will not win.
We are in California a population of 38,000,000 people, more than 10% of the total population of the US. But we get only two senators, and our votes in the electoral college in spite of our many representatives in the House, don't make us a swing state. We are solidly Democratic. California will vote for the Democratic candidate.
I will not vote for Hillary in 2016. I will vote for all other Democrats on the ballot, but not for Hillary should she be our candidate. That's a well considered decision on my part.
Watch this.
Hillary knew that Bush's Iraq War would ruin our economy. She did not organize Democrats to condition support for the war on Bush's raising new taxes to pay for the war. She did not lead. She is not presidential material. She is a good person, I am sure. But she is not the leader we need. Sorry. She just is not.
