your view is well taken. and yes, it is interesting people are bothered by another member of the bush dynasty occupying the white house and yet, endorse hillary. are we so desperate as a nation to want a woman "leader" in office without regard to what views the woman holds or even consider her elite status? what concerns me more is that all of the candidates are extremely wealthy with their hands in the corporate pot - except perhaps, bernie and o'malley.
thank you for your thoughtful post.
