Showing Original Post only (View all)How do Hillary supporters deal with her hawkish views and her obvious ties to Wall Street??? [View all]
I mean, I get how most Hillary supporters really, really think she is the safest bet for keeping the White House, mainly because of her huge name recognition and her big war chest. However, on half of the issues of the day, from free trade to banking regulation to issues of war and peace, Hillary has taken either a compromised position or a flat-out Republican one. Sorry, but that's the unvarnished truth.
In the final analysis, I just can't see how all the positions she has taken can be dismissed. Even if the alternative is a relatively risky, unknown candidate from a small state, at least he says all the right things, not to mention with a passion and a persuasiveness that quite honestly comes along only once in a generation.
For those of you who want to make the jump but just aren't sure Bernie can persuade ordinary middle-of-the-road Americans to vote for him, I hope you all watch the debates and see for yourselves that Bernie really does have what it takes to go all the way.
