Whirling dervish, Hillary Clinton, spins her 'convictions' faster than a monkey can climb a tree. Whatever's expedient that's what she'll say. Yes, people do evolve and change their minds but that's a whole lot of fast track evolving and it feels like just a big con. Her polling shows it: New Poll Shows 60% of Americans Think Hillary Clinton is Untrustworthy and Dishonest (11/6/15) Aren't 'untrustworthy' and 'dishonest' kind of euphemistic for 'liar'? So, you have the Democratic frontrunner for President of the United States who is considered a liar by a majority of voters. That is just sad. Especially if this comes down to the 'lesser of two evils' vote, yet again, instead of voting for a real desirable candidate.
"Hillary Clinton has always been viewed as the Democrats' best general-election candidate.
But new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls of Iowa and New
Hampshire show that Bernie Sanders outperforms Clinton in those two
general-election battleground states."
You know, it would be great to have a woman President but I think it
would be the ultimate feminist decision to wait for the right one.
Supporting someone because of their gender is as sexist as it gets.
Does Hillary Rodham Clinton have no shame? It's not like she's a magician with amazing sleight of hand. Her tricky record is right in front of us. Just google Hillary flipflops. Why, here's a good one: 6 flip flops from Hillary ‘Real Person’ Clinton An example: “We’ve got to do several things and I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants,” channeling Donald Trump, the
Democratic frontrunner "adamantly" tells a talk radio host in
2003. And, she bragged about this just yesterday, November 9: “Well, look, I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money
to build a barrier, to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming
in. And I do think you have to control your borders.” Read about it here. So, is she the 'neocon' Rand Paul said she was?
People say, "Oh, isn't it great. Bernie's moving her to the left." Honestly, she'd move to Mars if it that's what it took. But what is troubling about her 'move to the left' is that she can't be trusted that what she says today is what she would do IF she is in office. Watch this video of Elizabeth Warren talking about Hillary back in 2004. Buyer beware.
Martin O'Malley said it best: "Leadership is about being clear about
your principles." But does she have any? The same lack of conviction was
the reason I didn't vote for her husband, Bill Clinton. I felt there
was no there, there; no center. They're well paired. Two smart people
blowin' hot air in the wind.
Why hang your hat on a lesser comet when you can have a shining star? Bernie Sanders has been talking about his meaningful principles for the last thirty years. He has a center, he has a conscience, he doesn't hold his finger to the wind to decide what he should think. Take a minute to watch a mashup of Bernie's speeches over the the last thirty years. Watch this and know you are listening to someone who believes what he says, who has been fighting for the good fight for years, who has predicted what this country has become: "at 3:25
(1993) Bernie talks about how our country is evolving into an
oligarchy." He said that nineteen years ago.
Bernie is our best hope to tackle the problems of the 99%. Fuck the establishment.
And, this is the most troubling. Don't think for a minute, if Hillary is the nominee, that the GOP won't eviscerate her. She can barely beat Ben Carson, for chrissake, by 1%. When they're finished with her...we will have a Republican President. Let's say for a minute, by some miracle she makes it. Well, if you think the GOP hated Obama and effectively obstructed anything he wanted to get done - imagine for a moment how they would work with Hillary. Racism for him, sexism with Clintonism thrown in for her. There is no match for Hillary in the divisive public figure department. A do-nothing Congress would do less than zero with Hillary. They couldn't stand to see her accomplish a thing. Her supporters are in denial if they think 'she'll show them!' Yeah, just like she marched into her good friends at Goldman Sachs and "told them to cut it out". Boy, they must have trembled in their boots at such an admonition. (Those are her words. True.)
We should be so lucky to have Bernie as our President.
This is what winning looks like! Bernie 2016!

Great article! Many also forget that Hilary Clinton was a Republican. Being wishy washy and a flip-flopper has long been her M.O. Don't get me wrong, IF she ends up the democrat candidate, I will vote for her. But that doesn't mean I put my full faith and confidence in her.
Thank you! Yes, Hillary Clinton cannot wash away her Republican roots but I'm not ready to give up on electing Bernie Sanders the Democratic candidate. And I truly believe he can beat anyone on the GOP roster.
I too understand the history of Hillary and agree with all the above mentioned points, but here is the problem: Bernie Sanders, someone who I have admired and followed for 30 years, is Jewish. I have no illusions that a Jew can be elected to the presidency, forget that he is a socialist. Most people do not even understand what being a socialist means, but they do know how to hate Jews. It is imperative that we have a democrat in the white house as illustrated by the disasterous adminsitration of George Bush, but I am afraid that at this point our only choice is Hillary. They may hate her, but they all feel that her experience in foreign affairs as Secty of State outweighs all. Giving the Republicans ammunition by illustrating all of the downsides of Hillary is not helping the Democrats to avoid another devistating Republican administration. Better to attempt to communicate directly to the Clinton campaign in a constructive manner your misgivings. PS: I wish I believed as yo do that Bernie had a chance...he is an amazing human being.(gun control issues aside)
Hi Mindy (right?) -
Thanks for your comment. As for a Jew being elected, I think it would be like a joke, "So, a Jew, a Black man and a woman walk into a bar..." They are all loathed but since Republicans are all into Israel 'n stuff, I believe they would be more likely to support a Jew than a woman...especially Hillary, one of the most divisive public figures, hated by many. They disdain women proven by the way they vote. And, I think Bernie actually could work across the aisle. If Hillary is the nominee, the GOP will eviscerate her particularly over Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan - her involvement in every foreign policy failure. What makes people think that if she is elected, she would suddenly change her foreign policy and she would suddenly become successful? I think it is really dangerous to think she would beat the Republican nominee... whichever crackpot is the candidate.
