(279 posts)Sure, Hillary isn't a great candidate, FOR LIBERALS. She isn't deeply flawed as a generic election candidate, that's a load of bullshit that the media has convinced you and apparently your friends.
I mean what makes her so "flawed"?
The fact that according to fact checkers she's 2nd only to Obama in the honestly department, better than even Bernie Sanders? That she used private email JUST LIKE A DONZEN REPUBLICANS DID, including her predecessors, only she was MORE transparent than any of them? The fact that she gave paid speeches like freaking anyone and everyone does for income and to keep putting forward their message once out of office?
Give me a fucking break, Hillary is more qualified than most candidates in history, and the only reason you and others see her as so deeply flawed is because you didn't like her from the start and so you've bought into the media's bullshit.
And by the way, in your reply you left out one factor - DONALD TRUMP. The reason the whole world is in shock is because no one can understand how this vile sorry sack of shit is even in this race.
As I explained, most of it is because the right is nuts, but there's a portion of moderates and independents who support trump that no one can explain. These people wouldn't let trump near their wives it daughter, but they will vote for him.
And in my opinion, a decent piece of the reason why is flat out sexism. As I said, be it overtly or subconsciously.
It's the SAME reason Obama didnt beat McCain/Palin by 10-15%, on the heels of the catastrophic bush presidency no less!!!
