Better on social issues than the Repugs for sure- but that's the "lesser" part of the "lesser of two evils" She is less bad many things, but each person has to decide if that outweighs the negative.

If you feel like responding to my points there I would appreciate the dialogue, but I think using the phrase "lesser of two evils" is somewhat overdone and overused.
