(15,438 posts)the White House than have Hillary Clinton in it. They're intelligent enough to see that SoS Clinton can and will beat any Republican candidate the Koch Bros put forward, but they don't care. Their dislike for SoS Clinton overrides common sense, and that dislike, even outright loathing, for SoS Clinton is palpable to the point that it pours over and they dislike anyone who defends her.
I, myself, am not really a Hillary Clinton fan. I hope we can get a more progressive candidate to challenge her (but I don't see that happening). And I will vote for her should she win the primaries. Above all else, I would rather vote for a moderate Democrat than let a RW-Republican back into the White House. Unlike some professional voices on the Left, I don't stand to benefit from another Republican in the White House. I don't have any books to write, or need advertising clicks for a political blog I own, or have a movie I need to sell. The only "benefit" my and mine will get from another RW-Republican in the White House is further erosion of my civil rights, more unfunded wars, less money for education, and most likely, a full repeal of the PPACA which will hurt those around me.
