It's amusing to watch people pretend that Hillary hate is about "issues". [View all]

With the daily OPs about things like emails and Benghazi and her "likability," the periodic declarations of sitting out the GE and handing the keys to the GOP if Hillary is the nominee, and the total ignoring of her across-the-board progressive platform, nobody is fooled. Except perhaps the Hillary haters themselves: admitting that one is driven by irrational hatred is never easy to do.
