(151,599 posts)Hillary Clinton, like all people who are capable of becoming a presidential nominee, is a person who has thought a lot about positions and has made decisions based on that thinking. Like everyone, she's likely to think well of people who support her, and less well of those who have worked to defeat her. The primaries are over. There's a new race now. But, the equation still applies. Those who support her will have her ear more than those who work to defeat her.
It all depends on what you want to accomplish, really. If you want to make progress, you'll use the tools available to you. If you don't have a power saw when you need to cut a piece of wood, you can still do the job with a handsaw. But, you'll still need a tool to cut the wood or abandon the project.
Presidential elections are binary. There's not a lot of finesse available. You get one or the other of the two candidates. Those are the only tools available, really. Pick the one that will make your job easier. That's my recommendation, if you want your project to succeed.
