(10,751 posts)...to vote for Hillary Clinton based on the idea that "she's the only one who can win" rather than based on issues.
Similarly, I don't think it's a good idea to vote against Hillary Clinton based on the idea that the Republicans in Congress will waste no time attacking her, should she win the Presidency.
The Republicans in Congress will attack any Democrat (or Democratic Socialist who becomes President. Also, although they are indeed likely to attack her from Day 1, and they may attack her more enthusiastically than they would someone else, it is also true that Hillary Clinton has a lot of experience with them and knows how to deal effectively with those fools (as evidenced by her stellar performance at the latest Benghazi inquis... er, committee). Therefore, I see no advantage among our choices on that basis alone.
