But still a beautifully written manifesto. I especially agree with the very last sentence. I also believe we need a Democrat in the White House who is canny in politics and knows how to play the game. Republicans have proved over the last eight years that they are the enemy and Hillary has more experience dealing with this than anyone on Earth. What other candidate could do a better job dealing with them? Her demeanor during the laughable Benghazi hearings was the epitome of presidential. Her experience as a very successful Secretary of State puts her miles above any other candidate.

We have been so inundated by the right with the suggestion that Hillary is unlikeable, untrustworthy, scandal-ridden, that some people, even here on DU, have bought into it. It sometimes takes a bit of mental discipline to ignore that insidious right wing rumor mongering and sit down for a moment and look at the facts. Those facts add up to Hillary for President. I'm with her.
