20. It's because of Hillary that I joined the Democratic Party in 2008

Thu May 21, 2026, 03:58 PM

Thursday

I know this sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, but for many years I was an independent voter, and I always voted D in every election. However in the 2008 primary I wanted to cast a vote for Hillary for President. In Pennsylvania, independents aren't allowed to vote in the primary, so I decided it was time for me to jump in. I enrolled as a Democrat and I've never looked back.

Hillary Clinton is a special, wonderful leader and human being. I can never say enough good things about her.
