Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumCross posted in GDP... I've changed my mind.
It's probably clear that I am a bit more undecided than even I thought I was at first. I've now volunteered for two different campaigns and enjoyed my time with both groups, I've donated to three campaigns (not much $$$ but some).
This has been a very interesting cycle for me as I feel strongly for two of the five main candidates.
I've had the pleasure as a student in Vermont, and Vermont resident of working directly with Bernie Sanders and my experiences have only been positive. I've also had the pleasure of voting for Sanders and helped him get elected to the US Senate.
I've also had the pleasure to have had several interactions with Hillary Clinton over the last decade, and in the past three weeks I've seen her three times, and contrary to what you hear I haven't paid $2700 to make it happen.
I general both of these candidates are great, and have good records on most issues. However at this time I've decided throw my support behind one, and that is as it turns out Hillary Clinton. I'm pretty excited about this, and I hope that I can keep working to get whomever ends up winning the primary elected in the general. And no my decision had nothing to do with anyone's supporters and everything to do with who I think can win this in 2016.
Let's all keep working to make sure whomever our nominee is, wins.
Wining in 2016 is what matters!

It's really nice to have you aboard and I'm excited to see that we'll get another Democrat in the White House for another eight years with your help!

I can't tell you how much I'm loving this post of yours. Hillary is a good person and a good candidate.
I think she will make a great President.
