My daughter - first-time voter, Sanders supporter til now - is voting for HRC [View all]

Interesting.

She brought up the subject. Wanted to know what Hillary's plans were for college kids. Wanted to know her stance on rape and bullying women. "I can go to Bernie's website and here it is on one page. What does Hillary say?"

"Could be that those issues take more than a page," said I.

So, we went into dueling iPads, checking out Hillary's YUGE Wiki entry, her campaign website etc. After 20 minutes of discussion - which I'm sure included my daughter's first honest examination of Hillary's record - she announced that she had found the answers she was looking for, and that her opinion of Hillary had changed.

"She's doing what I want to hear a candidate is doing."

The truth will out. One more vote for Hill on June 7.
