... to provide support to our party's eventual nominee. I think it's important to realize that "humble" and "realistic" are not synonyms. We do not need a "social media" star. We need strong leadership and someone who can heal and unite. We need experience beyond her limited experience and record. We need someone who can attract national support, not just activist support. I promise you that she is not the candidate that swing state voters are interested in... even actual Democrats in swing states would not give her enough votes to become our party's nominee. I'm just giving you a realistic assessment, here. It's pure fantasy to try and "invent" reasons that she would win the nomination or bring home the White House. It won't happen. It's willful blindness to claim that the Democrats have no-other-candidate who can generate enthusiasm. Pure nonsense.
