You said it so much better than I ever could.

I am appalled that they think it's OKAY to disenfranchise the MAJORITY who are certainly speaking at the ballot box. The misogyny is blatant. The double standard to which she is held is ridiculous.

Can you imagine if Hillary had made uneducated and empty statements about the central point of her campaign platform? Jeebus, MSM would be ALL over her for it.

We've all seen so many instances of it, including the free press that is given to everyone but her when it comes to the talk show circuit. The top two who get all that free advertising? Trump and Sanders. Clinton is LAST in that metric, but you know, she's the one who gets unfair press advantage. That's because this group wants to silence a strong, intelligent woman.

They don't want to SEE that her lifetime of service and good works appeals to us. Or that her very wonkiness appeals to a great many of us. I LIKE that my candidate is so well informed. I LIKE that she's intelligent and not afraid to show it. I greatly APPRECIATE all the good she's done as a person for so many other people.

But what do I know? I'm just a low informed woman suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
