Mike Muse of Muse Recordings: 4 Reasons I'm Voting for Hillary [View all]

SHE IS AUTHENTIC

....When a person has been running a campaign for elected office since high school, I accept the fact that this is who she is: A consummate politician rooted in strategy, thoughtful word choices and crafted optics. And I consider such traits as assets for a president inheriting a Congress that is dangerously divisive. She knows defeat, but is not afraid to get back on the field to run the ball. As a United States senator and a cabinet secretary, she has learned to compromise and work with her rivals. With Hillary, we know what we are getting – authentic experience.

SHE'LL REALLY FIGHT FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS

Growing up middle class, I was able to witness the value and rewards of my parents' hard work, while simultaneously being sensitive to the notion that others weren't as fortunate by circumstance....In voting for a president, I don't care if the candidate is of economic means. What I care about is if he or she has the moral compass to understand that classism exists, the desire to help others advance from their current station in life, and the sense to support the industries that keep America working....

SHE UNDERSTANDS FOREIGN POLICY

....Hillary traveled to 112 countries, making her the most widely traveled secretary of state in history. She attended 306 diplomatic meetings and spent the equivalent of 87 full days on airplanes. By these stats alone, she is ahead of any of her Democratic or Republican challengers on familiarity with world leaders, their allies and agendas....

SHE HAS THE QUALIFICATIONS

There is no college degree or career that can possibly prepare one for the responsibility of becoming the most powerful person in the world. Therefore you have to have the audacity and will to believe you can make a difference. It became clear to me that Hillary had this mix when she recalled, in "Living History," the story of how, as an eighth-grade supporter of Richard Nixon's presidential campaign against John F. Kennedy, she showed up at a downtown hotel in her hometown of Chicago (unbeknownst to her parents), "went off with strangers" in a car to check voter lists against addresses to uncover (alleged) voter fraud in Chicago.

Today, she's just as bold....
