Which way is the wind blowing?

Call me nuts, but I think the Democratic Party is fortunate to have three intelligent, thoughtful, passionate candidates. We all have our favorites, but at least we can say with some confidence that none of them is certifiably insane.

My choice is Bernie.

I don't dispute all the positive assessments of Hillary, but you can't help but marvel at how she checks which way the wind is blowing before taking a position. On anything. That's a flaw, I think, but, overall, I like Hillary well enough and will vote for her if she's the candidate, as I would hope every Democrat would.

Others have said this, pretty much daily, but count me among the DUers utterly disgusted with the vehement anti-Bernie and anti-Hillary threads. Despite my partisan leanings, I steer clear of almost all of those threads, and it's disappointing to see that they get as much action as they do.

She is nothing like the way she is portrayed on this board which is obviously mostly anti Hillary.
A lie is spoken or an innuendo is made and that becomes part of the biography you are writing about her. Without any context to her whole life and background.
None of it is true but for what ever your purpose is it fits your necessary narrative.
It doesn't hurt her or slow her march toward the presidency. She has taken these hits her whole career and aways comes out the better person in the fight.
