Many people get that the attacks on Hillary are just nonsense. Ordinary people see through the barrage of right wing propaganda against the Clintons. It is one of the reasons the Washington media hates the Clintons so much. The Clintons know they do not need to kowtow to the media insiders and this drives the media people wild.

The national party made a mistake in 2008 by not backing HRC about the Michigan and Florida primaries. They should have backed HRC and had Obama run as VP. This would have blunted the racists and taken away their ammunition. By the time Obama would have run on his own in 2016, the racist crap would not have worked after Obama had 8 years as VP. All the hate would have been spewed at HRC and would be seen as the nonsense it is. Which is what this dear lady at Lowes is demonstrating. Lots of people are really tired of being lied to and the demonization of minorities and women. They are figuring out that the GOP used the race card to scare them into voting against their own interests.

I really hope they run Julian Cruz as VP with HRC. I think O'Malley is auditioning, but I love Julian Cruz.
