28. Hi bettyellen. I think you're my favorite HRC supporter.

It's unfortunate, but quite a number of us just don't trust what HRC says. So, pointing to something that she says is not going to count for much.

If you do trust HRC, I'm sure that's not easy or fun to see that many of us don't trust her.

This primary is unusual in many aspects, but for many of us we are presented with a very stark and very important choice. We have two candidates running. One is one of the MOST trustworthy politicians in D.C. (for many of us) running against one of the LEAST trustworthy politicians in our Party (for many of us).

Again, I know it's difficult for HRC supporters, and I wish the current primary wasn't as divisive as it's turning out to be. I really do. But this primary is for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party going forward for Bernie supporters. And, for many of us, we just can't abide the "New Democratic" Party any longer. Too many Americans have lost too much over the last 3 to 4 decades. Many of us have had enough. We're demanding a return to traditional Democratic Party values a la FDR (if that's not obvious yet - lol). We strongly believe HRC will not take the Party there, and we strongly believe that Bernie would begin the process to take us there.

A lot is at stake for us.

Thank you for continuing to represent HRC so well. It speaks well for you.
