Related: About this forumWill Hillary Supporters Please Stand Up? She's Done A Remarkable Job!
Just so everyone knows I'm not trying to pull a sneak attack: I'm for Bernie.
But, I think we should always give credit where credit is due. For instance, in spite of her drop in overall numbers, I think the Clinton campaign has done a remarkable job of keeping her numbers up in the face of the relentless attacks by the GOP the whole while - many unfair attacks, I might add.
And I also think everyone does need to try to understand the different pressures faced by our two leading candidates. Aside from her being a woman running for president, which I think everyone gets, what are these?
So, HRC supporters: Sound off! - and tell us all why we should vote for Hillary? Let's hear it! I might argue with you, and so may others. But isn't that what it's all about?

I am not here to convince people who to vote for.
Still, you've given 3 good reasons why people should support her!

Congressman John Lewis Endorses Hillary Clinton
Congressman John Lewis will back Hillary Clinton's run for the White House.
"As our former Secretary of State, Senator from New York, and first Lady of the United States, Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person to be President of the United States," said Congressman Lewis in a statement released Wednesday by the campaign.
"I know her heart. We need her leadership, not just here in America, but all over the world. She is tireless in her advocacy for those who have been left out and left behind. She is ready to be President on day one. Hillary Clinton has my wholehearted endorsement, and I plan to work and campaign for her to see that she is elected the next President of the United States."

(631 posts)The old assumption, that HRC was "inevitable", and everyone "must" support her to show both their liberal support for a woman president, and their loyalty to the Democratic Party is gone with the Sanders surge.
And I feel HRC supporters have grown complacent - and rather quickly because of her "inevitability." That's not going to work anymore, and it's sure not going to work in 2016. If her supporters aren't really excited and boosting her, she won't win next year!

(19,877 posts)She also has the backing of damn near every Democrat, which means she will actually be able to get the job done. The last thing we need is party infighting and a president so ideologically rigid that they wouldn't even get the backing of their own party.

However, if Bernie does not move forward, I will vote for her.
We absolutely cannot afford to allow a republicant in the White House.
