(5,621 posts)The fact is, that dems will vote for Hillary, because if she is the nominee they feel they have to. The repubs will crawl over glass to vote against her. The indies will say, no thanks and stay home.
All these people don't understand. No one except the repubs have a problem with Hillary's social positions, it's her economic positions and war hawk positions that are bad. It's the poor that will be squeezed again, just like they are with Obama. For those who have money, or think they will have money, Hillary is not a bad choice. It was the same with Obama, he promised a good economic and anti war game, but didn't follow through, and Hillary is the same.
No cola again this year, no relief for school debt, mortgage debt, or outsourcing of jobs, but plenty of money for those who already have money. Young people have to join the military to have a job, and they are getting killed (murdered is more like it). A college certificate is worth nothing, H1-B visas are taking over good paying jobs, and more people are moving back in with their parents, sometimes whole families.
The American dream is no longer a reality.
