I can hardly do a Google search for Hillary without being buried under ugly, biased headlines and hate-filled, incendiary comments that reek of misogyny. It's IN-SANE. I've started tweeting back my indignation to said "news" sources, knowing full well it's like shouting into the wind. So depressing. And then there are the comment clowns: between those supporting Trump, those who will keep singing Bernie's praises come hell or high water, and those who just DETEST Hillary for whatever foolish, pathetic reason they have, the lucid population of the US seems to have shrunk to about the size of this group for me (I live abroad - the internet is the only way I stay connected with American politics).

And yet, Hillary's delegate count keeps climbing, which is encouraging. One day maybe the internet will come to its senses and cut her a break (but I'm not holding my breath!!!).
