What are the reason(s) that you are not supporting Hillary?

A lot of people insist on talking about policies rather than personalities. Here's your chance.

and center right. I don't believe Hillary can do this....especially right now while much of the middle are Bernie and Trump supporters because of their outsider/independent stances...she is the biggest political insider in the race....

All of the above? Shit I guess Sanders ain't good enough for you neither as he and Hillary actually agree on some of that.

Most of the above, but beyond specific positions (whatever they may be this week), she's a phony. I think the only person in Hillary's world is Hillary. I've no doubt some will claim she's a wonderful person, but I've had an instinctive distrust of her from the get-go.

Let her figure things out for herself. Some are tired of the continuous poll testing.

HRC was too conservative for me in '08 compared to Edwards, and too conservative for me compared to Bernie. Bernie's a great guy, and nobody can explain the issues as well as he can.

I have no idea who she would be or what she would actually do as President. Yes, I expect that deals will have to be cut with the GOP, as I think it's very likely that they'll hold the House, but I'd rather see Joe Biden do them.

the fact that in 2008 and again on Tuesday, she has been willing to employ a modified southern strategy. Hillary Clinton isn't a bigot, but she is entirely too comfortable with making it part of her campaign strategy.

Her foreign policy and hawkish leanings are also extremely disconcerting to me.
