May 2016

The Establishment wants to make. She has never been elected, on her own, to anything. The New York carpet bagging was fixed for her by the NY Dem Establishment. Other than that, she married into FLOTUS, and got appointed to SOS.

Yes, she has done many good works...and for those I applaud her. But she's just not the right woman for the job at this point in time. 2008 was her shot at it. And since then she's managed to embroil herself in consistent shady events.

Then we have/had Bernie with decades of consistent views and actions and little political baggage.

They got rid of Howard Dean with the Dean Scream, John Kerry with Swiftboating and Bernie with, well, putting all the eggs in Hillary's basket. All three were honest and qualified...emphasis on Honest.

Time will tell.
