I was keeping myself undeclared in the beginning, and was WAS interested in learning more about Bernie Sanders, until his followers here at DU got so unbelievably nasty. Sorry guys, you lost me. I put the Hillary avatar on my posts more in disgust with the behavior of DU's Bernie fans that out of devotion to Hillary herself.

Hillary is fine by me. (I would have gladly voted for her in 2008, but since Obama was our candidate I was actually overjoyed with that outcome.) I think she is formidably intelligent, hardworking, and extremely well-prepared. I like the brainy ones.

She's a bit awkward with the media, and does not trust them as far as she can throw them, or at least that is how I read her situation. And why would she? If she's our nominee, it will be our responsibility to have her back, because the VRWC, which we know exists, will do its worst. They don't need our help -- HRC does, and so does ANY Democratic nominee.
