15. The RW doesn't get to decide

May 2014

We should not chose a candidate based on how we think the GOP will react. We should never let them define us. The Republicans will smear, slime and denigrate whoever we run. It's what they do.

I doubt I will ever see my perfect candidate so I will not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. For me, it's all about the Supreme Court. This conservative court has done a lot of damage and if a Republican president gets to fill the next couple of vacancies we will be screwed for decades.

So I'll vote for Clinton.
