OK then. A Message to Hillary Supporters...

296. Phrase "Front-runner" mean anything?

It is a WONDERFUL task, and with so much satisfaction, but I do thank you for your concern. It's heartwarming.

You'd like to see a case? Alright, I'll point out the obvious for you:

1. A lifetime of achievements, with actual involvement in the political arena (much better in my opinion than some who sit on the sidelines, and are masters at heckling and Monday morning quarter backing). Sure she's made some mistakes and some bad moves.. That's what happens when someone actually DOES stuff. I sure couldn't support her if she'd been in Congress 25 plus years and STILL had only passed 3 bills that she'd sponsored or co-sponsored as her only actual achievement.

2. As the Senator from New York was instrumental in securing more than $21 Billion in funding for the World Trade Center redevelopment.

3. Was a leader in the investigation of health consequences of first responders and drafted the first bill to compensate and offer the health services for first responders. The bill was finalized, and passed by her successor Kirsten Gillibrand.. you know.. when she actually joined the executive branch as the Secretary of State.. What's Mr. Burns executive experience again?

4. Ran the Kate Mullany National Historic Site Act to a successful passage.

5. As Senator, Hillary Clinton fought to pass the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform, helping to cultivate awareness of the issues in Congress. She introduced the Legal Immigrant Children’s Health Improvement Act, which would give states the option to provide federally funded Medicaid and SCHIP benefits to low-income legal immigrant children and pregnant women. She also wrote the Access to Employment and English Acquisition Act to meet the growing demand for English language courses and other job skills.

6. Hillary wrote a law as Senator providing grants to state and local governments to pay for respite care services for family caregivers, which allows expanded funding for temporary breaks for caregivers of sick or disabled people.

Maybe a few of her Senate positions?
Committee on the Budget (2001-2003)
Committee on Armed Services (2003-2009)
Subcommittee on Airland
Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities
Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support

Committee on Environment and Public Works (2001-2009)
Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Safety
Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, and Water
Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure (2007-2008)
Subcommittee on Superfund and Environmental Health (Chairwoman, 2007-2009)

Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (2001-2009)
Subcommittee on Children and Families
Subcommittee on Employment and Workplace Safety

And, this isn't eve TOUCHING on what she did in the Justice Department, and as the first lady of Arkansas, or as FLOTUS, or with their charitable foundation, or as Secretary of State for the US.

Your side does have one point, it isn't her "turn", nor is she "entitled" to be the next Democratic Party nominee.. But she is very much the most experienced, the most successfully progressive choice, and the only one in the race who's actually DONE something that makes her worth my vote.

Although.. Mr. Burns does make very pretty speeches when he promises the world.
