Most importantly, and I’ve had so many petulant liberals fight me hard on this, Democrats must start taking the high road, promoting Hillary and stop bashing Trump. When we bash Trump, we make him the story, we add nothing to this insatiable black hole of a topic and we neglect to show the positive qualities Hillary Clinton brings to the race. Like it or not, Hillary Clinton’s 4 decades in the public eye has not made her reputation clear enough among many potential voters and simply suggesting that it’s willful ignorance to not know doesn’t help. There are willfully ignorant people that could impact the result.


should inform every post, every letter to the paper, every debate.

Most voters and most citizens demonstrate very poor grasp of issues. Surveys consistently show large numbers of voters have no idea:
what the Bill of Rights is,
who the Vice-President is,
who their own Senators are,
and on and on. Far too many voters simply pay no attention to politics and issues. These low information voters must be educated as to the issues and the candidates. And ignorant people also vote.
