Over a large dinner of friends and family last night the subject of Hillary came up. Since I was the lone GOP'er I just listened as people described why they're voting for her...it was interesting.
Here's my take. People are voting for Hillary because:
She's a woman
They want Bill back
She's qualified
Several women insisted it's time for a woman president - period. No discussion of her qualifications, it's about damn time for a woman in office as one put it. I get it, Democrats put a black man into office in 2008 without any serious discussions of his qualifications either...just, it was their turn. Now the women want their turn. Fair enough, if you think that way. When I mentioned Carly Fiorina there was a lot of snickering
Others are voting for Hill, but what they really want is Bill in a backup advisory role. A lot of people want the 90's back and pretend 9/11 never happened.
Everyone insists Hillary's qualified, you know 8 Years as First Lady, Senator from NY and Secretary of State. I don't have any idea how being First Lady qualifies you to be president, and everyone knows she was just a mediocre senator waiting for the presidential nomination. When I look at the state of the world today and the mess she and Obama helped create, it's hard to believe anyone takes her stint as SoS seriously. But this is the blue state of NY and everyone blames GWB for everything anyway.
What was most interesting last night was not a single reference to Obama, continuing his policies or his SJW
crowd. I did hear a lot of complaints from parents trying to put their kids through college while the BLM crowd was mucking about riling up the snowflakes.
And of course, for everyone at the table the best part about Hillary winning is that Trump would lose.
Democrats care about the people, always willing to give the shirt off someone else's back.
If we needed a woman president that badly maybe they should have supported Michelle Bachman.
Democrats once cared about the poor, working and middle classes. Today's democrats are NOT your grandfather's democrats. If the democrats of yore discovered that their constituents were either being displaced in the workforce or were seeing their wages depressed, all due to illegal immigration, those dems of yore would have done something about it---and I don't mean amnesty.
Today's democrats fight tooth and nail to put illegal aliens ahead of the millions of suffering underemployed and unemployed Americans. That's a real shame. Neither party is looking out for Americans but at one time I would have expected much, much better from the dems.

I love this canard. I recall when Georgia passed its stringent laws regarding illegal aliens leading most Mexican farm workers legal and otherwise flee the state which in turn threatened the livelihood of Georgia farmers who struggled mightily to find Americans to work their crops in vain. The problem wasn't the pay, the problem was just how hard the work proved to be, they just couldn't hack it, literally. I know a lot of employers and I've never met one who turned down an American in favor of an possible illegal alien other than for the reason that the workers from Mexico and Central America actually would not only show up for work but would do the job that they were hired to do.

If I do it will be because Bernie loses in the primaries. I personally think she would be another W.
I am voting for Hillary on the mere fact that all the other alternatives from both sides of the political spectrum scare me even more if they were elected to the White House. That is not to say that I generally like Hillary Clinton and her flip flopping politics and connections to Wall Street, but she is the lesser of the Republican evils and the Socialist deranged that are bidding in this race to the White House.
Quite frankly the more I think it the more it makes me sad that in a country of over 325 million people this is best we can come up with to lead this nation, although I think it has more to do with our ever increasing corrupt government on both sides of the isle rigging the system.
