"I won't vote for Hillary" cough cough .... bullshit [View all]

I see the posts and threads all the time. "She did this, she did that, I won't vote for her."

In November of 2016, when you're filling out your ballot, and the choice is between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, or Rand Paul, or Ted Cruz, given all thats at stake including Supreme Court nominations.....you'll vote for Hillary Clinton. You know it, and I know it, and everyone on this board knows it.
