what fraction of anti-war voters can actually condone Iraq and Libya?

Thats all they have to do to vote for HRC ever again.
Anti-war voters must make up less than 3% of the Democratic Party, right?
so, maybe half of those will, and half of those wont?
and of course, 100% of HRC supporters can NEVER claim to have been truly
against the IWR, right?

FOUR MORE WARS!

Very few voters are truly anti-war. Most believe they are. Self delusion is common. BillZBubb Mar 2016 #1

I wouldnt say that, except to qualify those voters as less likely Democratic Party supporters reddread Mar 2016 #2

The vast majority of Hillary supporters have no issue with her IWR vote or they rationalize it away.

It's easy to say "Yes, I am anti-war", they talk the talk. It's hard to walk the walk though.

I think 3% to 1 1/2% is a fair guess.
I never suggested that HRC supporters were not in favor of unjustifiable illegal military actions.
That box is fairly rigidly formed.
A well traveled low road.
