(4,035 posts)I don't expect her to be. I want my candidate to listen to criticism and advice to become better. I feel that Clinton does that. She is willing to listen. She is willing to work with the other side, and as much as I would like to burn down the play house in order to stick it to the Republicans, that's not what the country needs. It will only give the victory to the republicans. The pipe dream that Sanders has of peoples' power sweeping Washington - well, he clearly didn't learn from Wendy Davis, who brought a huge protest to bear, and still lost. Or the protesters against Scott Walker. I mean, it irks me that the President has to work with the absolutely batshit insane teabaggers, I want purity politics too. But it won't accomplish anything, while Clinton has it on record that she is able to get moderate republicans to co-sponsor legislation, and get things done bit by bit. Just look at Flint - she asked what needed to be done, while Sanders postured. I don't see that the Governor has resigned yet, even though Sanders told him to.
