what a true statement! great post!

people cry that she is getting the backing of the DEMOCRATIC Party. Well she has been part of it forever unlike Sanders.

Don't get me wrong I love Sanders and what he stands for and my views are more inline with him. But this Hillary bashing by Dems needs to stop.

Don't weaken our own people. Don't do the job for the Republicans
