200. I have gone from mildly thinking that a Clinton in the White House would maybe be ok

Tue Mar 1, 2016, 11:35 PM

Mar 2016

to thoroughly loathing both Hill and Bill. I hate their campaigning. I hate their sense of entitlement. I will have to go thru some serious mental acrobatics to get to any kind of place where I can vote for her in the Fall IF and only if she is the nominee.

I recently found a large file of clippings of articles on her from the 90s when I truly admired her. Since that time I have watched and tried to understand her. The move to New York when she grew up in Illinois and lived in Arkansas. The choice to support the Iraq War when most thinking individuals knew it was lie. Taking incredible fees from Wall Street and not sharing the transcripts. Sending those children back to be killed. The Libya bombing. The Syrian mess. Her incredibly STUPID support of fracking and how it relates to Climate Change... she will do what is expedient to get and keep power. That's all. She will do what it takes. And according to friends and family who support this monster, "She will start on day one". Holy hell.

If she gets in, we will have nothing but wall to wall Gate this and Gate that. The climate and poverty and Wall Street derivatives will all go to hell.
