    I love how most of the comments here are about how much everyone hates Hillary rather than about what she actually said. I get it that people hate her, but let’s be real folks; Trump is the only relevant clear and present danger here. Bitching about Hillary seems pretty pointless at this point.

      I hear you. What she said is correct. The thing is, this person is so unlikeable that there’s no way she can help. No matter how sharp you are, or how good of an elected official you’ll be (and I do think she would have been extremely good at her job if she was elected (I did vote for her)), you must have charisma to be effective in politics.

      I honestly believe in my heart that if she paid millions for widespread TV ads with her saying “do not vote for Donald Trump” it would help him.

        What she said is correct.

        But it’s not though. The sentiment is in the right place but she got her facts wrong.

        Again, you are focusing on her rather than on what she actually said. That’s what I find so telling and unfortunate. Are we really so shallow and politically inept that we can’t hear a message simply because we dislike the messenger?

        It seems like you are telling me yes, that’s exactly how shallow and politically inept we are.

        If so, that sucks, especially since you are almost certainly correct.

      Thank you!

      Bitching about Hillary is how Trump got elected in the first place.

      A Hillary win would have saved the Supreme Court. Now we are on precarious ground. There was no disadvantage in her winning

      Let’s face it - had she won, things would be way better than they are, and we wouldn’t be in the constant fascist danger we are now.
