(15,438 posts)I don't believe I've been called a "shill" yet, but I could be wrong since I gloss over those words in responses to me. But I've seen it used in connection with Hillary Clinton supporters here and everywhere else. That nasty term is also hybridized with Hillary Clinton's given name. Shamefully disrespectful, but it tells me a lot about the person doing it.
I have issues with all three Democratic candidates, but I had them with President Obama in 2008 and 2012, too. I understand that it's impossible to get 100% of everything I want from a single candidate since no one is perfect. I also understand that the lion's share of my issues would require Congress' cooperation. My interest is in seeing this country move forward, and I'm looking for a Democratic candidate who can stand up to Republicans, has allies among congressional Democrats, can work the Teapublican House to get what we need, and above all else, can actually win against the well-funded Republican money machine in the G.E.
I feel only Hillary Clinton can at this point.
