Still on the fence, I am thrilled to have two such remarkable candidates leading the field in the Democratic Presidential primary race. They are both so good in very different ways, that I will almost hate to see the primaries end.
I love Bernie Sanders’ populist message and left wing rhetoric. He appeals to every hope I have had since my early teens saw the assassination of President Kennedy. Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy views remind me of Kennedy’s; her hard work on Obama’s team after the bruising 2008 race impressed me deeply, as has her years of working for women and children.
By the time my home state of California gets to vote for one of the three Democrats, the race will probably already have been decided and I will have the choice made for me. Until then, I plan on watching and listening to what all three have to say (yay O’Malley!) and hope that the final candidate can win over the majority of my fellow citizens and keep a Democrat in the White House.
In the meantime, if I need to read attacks on Hillary Clinton, I can find them on RedState or Breitbart, or the Blaze. Do I really need to read them here? This is a Democratic website, after all, and she is a Democrat. Even if you don’t want her to be one.
Please praise Bernie Sanders, tell us of all of the wonderful things he has to offer our nation. But you really don’t have to tear Hillary Clinton down to build him up. His own record and remarks should be sufficient.
Thanks.
