New to the site and to the forum but I'm really glad to see a spot in the Universe where Dems for Hillary Clinton can express their support without being beaten over the head or immediately shouted down. What's up with that???
As a Democratic voter, I want the Dems to keep the WH and make up the losses we've taken elsewhere--in the Senate and House, of course, but in those state legislatures that have done so much damage to progress in women's issues and civil rights, etc. We cannot do that without retaining the WH. I like Bernie Sanders but there's only 1 electable candidate and that's Hillary Clinton who has spent her career fighting and winning change for people everywhere. Hillary's trip to Flint, Michigan today is a prime example of that spirit and underscores what happens when the bottom line for government officials is dollar and cents, not the welfare of its constituency. Our infrastructure is falling to pieces, particularly in poor communities. Flint is the tip of the iceberg. Hillary Clinton is sharing a chunk her donations for state and local elections, so we can reset the balance and begin to win the state/local contests that affect the lives of so many people.
These numbers from Franklin & Pierce are an indicator of what a fierce warrior HRC truly is and has always been. She can take it to the GOP and win the election for the Democratic Party. That's Numero Uno for me. And I suspect for everyone in this particular room. If we want to address social & economic inequities, we have to win first. There are no perfect candidates out there. But there are warriors. We have one who happens to be a woman. And that's a very good thing!
