4. +1 I'm going to be a bit sexist here...

I admire HRC to the bottom of my heart and think she's one of kindest, intelligent, and toughest broads I've ever seen.

2. Worth checking IMHO...

Study: Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, gets the most negative media coverage
-Updated by Jeff Stein on April 15, 2016, 2:30 p.m. ET

“The biggest news outlets have published more negative stories about Hillary Clinton than any other presidential candidate — including Donald Trump — since January 2015, according to a new analysis of hundreds of thousands of online stories published since last year.

Of course, these numbers are just one way of looking at media bias in the presidential campaign. For instance, while the press has hit Clinton more frequently, Crimson Hexagon also found that it's paid much more attention to her than to Bernie Sanders. And, by design, this kind of analysis may overlook other ways the press can hurt a candidate — like Sanders — by downplaying or dismissing his or her chances.

Still, Sanders's supporters have widely accused the media of being in the tank for Clinton. And these numbers suggest that perception may not square with reality….”

Millennials didn't learn to hate Hillary from FOX News.

7. Not surprised

The repugs and Sanders supporters scrutinize every sentence she's said in the last 30 years. No one has had to suffer through what she has, I couldn't do it.
