(9,967 posts)let me enlighten you:
From DSB, post .7
She is eminently qualified to be president of the United States by dint of experience, temperament, and record of achievement.
-First Lady of Arkansas
-First Lady Of the United States
-Two term senator from one of the most populous and most heterogeneous states in the nation
-Secretary of State
She has offered detailed positions for this campaign on
-criminal justice reform
-immigration reform
-climate change
-financial reform
-combating terrorism
-gun control
-tax relief and added Social Security benefits for caregivers
She and her husband have worked tirelessly for the Democratic party since they were wet behind the ears field organizers for George McGovern in 1972 registering Mexicans in southwest Texas to vote.
See, I was able to make my case without denigrating Senator Sanders or the other members of our community. "

The same side of the issues I stand. I also know she has experience in foreign affairs, is smart, is willing to continue to work for the good of the US. I did not arrive at my supports. of supporting Hillary because she is a female as some have stated is the reason she is getting support.
I also have looked at the positions Sanders has taken on the issues and I don't agree with them. One in particular is on gun issues, he lost lots of room on that one. He is also proposing an income tax to provide health insurance to everyone and I don't want to pay a tax for health insurance to the able bodied who for whatever reason does not desire to have wages at any level. He said he was going to tax the wealthy and out comes the income tax"

I need not go further. If you don't undestand the value of having HRC pick the next three seats, and not a Republican, then I can't help you. Not interested in Walter Mondaling this election over policy disputes.
I don't have to make a case for your vote. Either you get that SCOTUS is that important, or you don't. Maybe you aren't part of a protected class. Maybe you fail to grasp the true corporatism the Roberts court has pushed through. Maybe all of your fundamental rights that you care to exercise are covered.
If you cannot see the value in providing the people of this nation the chance at fundamental fairness....at liberty in SCOTUS, then what is there to say? "

She will be a great leader who can bring the Democratic Party together.
From me:
Immigration reform and gun control are my number one and two issues, she reflects my views there.
