(10,500 posts)Hillary Clinton's campaign for president was the proudest experience of my life.
And here I am supporting her again in 2016, this time apparently on the verge of watching her receive the nomination.
Seriously, we don't win every campaign. I think we'll win this one, but I could be wrong, of course. Either way, I am never ashamed of how I voted, regardless of whether or not we win. I cannot begin to imagine the circumstances under which I apologized for my vote. Although I certainly do hate that I cast a ballot for Joe Lieberman to be VP in 2000. But it was the only way to elect Al Gore.
Maybe it will be the other way around. Maybe Hillary will win. Maybe you will give Hillary a chance if she is elected. Maybe you will be relieved that she got to appoint two new Justices, along with a confirmation of Merrick Garland in a lame duck session of congress that otherwise wouldn't have happened. And maybe she will turn out to be a better president than you think she will.
