2016 Postmortem

No, I'm not asking Hillary to do any such thing.
If Hillary has truly had friends and family that suffered from HIV/AIDS through the 80's then she knows for an absolute fact the lack of help and outright war the Reagan's were toward HIV and the LGBT community.
The fact is that she doesn't have anyone to exploit. She doesn't know anyone on a personal level that suffers or suffered and passed that she gave even a moments thought about. If she had, she never would have made that statement about Nancy and her support.
This is a bullshit fluff piece written by someone on the payroll.
