83. Because I believe that Hillary, though deeply flawed, has taken everything the Republicans can throw

at her since 1991 and is still kicking their collective asses.

I think she has the strength, the will, and the abilities to keep them in check. And that's the primary objective right now.

As civilization deteriorates, Republicans in power will only hasten and accelerate our extinction. And there's nothing we'll be able to do about it. Remember George W Bush?

A Clinton administration will contain elements that we can influence and work with. It's a better chance.

Bush made the world despise the USA and Americans. Barack Obama restored a lot of the world's respect. And I believe that the world stage will welcome Hillary Clinton. The world stage would probably welcome Bernie also, but I give Clinton the upper hand in both the national and international process.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the way I'm leaning. I'm not a Bernie detractor by any means, but I just see Clinton carrying out the duties of the President of the United States better. I know all the disastrous Hillary shit people have pointed out, and I'm not OK with it. But I know I'm never going to get a political basket arranged with everything just the way I like it.

I also believe that more women are needed in all levels of government. A Clinton Presidency will facilitate this, far into the future.
