2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)If Hillary Clinton starts courting republicans, [View all]
I'm retracting my support for her. I'll vote for ANY other democrat. I've listened to a lot of nonsense about Bernie and I could deal with that. I've listened to a lot of nonsense about Bernie supporters and I don't like it but I understand it's part of the game. But as soon as the presumptive democratic nominee starts courting republicans with conservative rhetoric, I'm out. That is a FAKE democrat. A phony. A puppet. She will not get my vote if she goes that route.
This is an HONEST criticism of her. She is already doing it and it sucks. The people she is courting are republican war hawks. People who liked Bush and thought he did a swell job after 9/11. It makes my stomach turn!
