I can only speak for the people I know. They view her as the lesser of two evils. They don't really like her.

I'm wondering too. Let me see:

1.) Because the clinton foundation gives lots of money away to good causes?:

Charity watchdog: Clinton Foundation a ‘slush fund’ | New York Post

"The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid."

"The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends."


Ugh!


2.) Because hillary is such a pro woman person/stands up for their rights?


Rand Paul attacks Hillary Clinton's record on women's rights - Business Insider

"Even her most strident critics could not have predicted that Mrs. Clinton would prove vulnerable on the subject," The Times' Amy Chozick wrote earlier this month. "But the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation has accepted tens of millions of dollars in donations from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Algeria and Brunei — all of which the State Department has faulted over their records on sex discrimination and other human-rights issues."


Ack!


3.) Because she was a good secretary of state?


Hillary Clinton's email server violated state department rules, audit finds | US news | The Guardian

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/08/us...mail.html?_r=0


22 Hillary Clinton Emails Dubbed Top Secret : NPR

"§1924. Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material

(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both."

yikes!


4.) Maybe it's because she's just a nice person?

Hillary Clinton's Handling of 1975 Rape Case Emerges Again - ABC News

"Nevertheless, it might be the way Clinton talked - and laughed - about the trial in the audio tapes, rather than her decision to defend him that people could find off-putting."


.

I'm stumped. You're right....how in the world could anyone support her, based strictly on her actions?!?

But maybe we have a little insight here:

50% Say Clinton Should Keep Running Even If Indicted - Rasmussen Reportsâ„¢

"Among Democratic voters, 71% believe Clinton should keep running" even if she'd indicted.

The old saying says like attracts like so perhaps we might have a little insight here on the "why".....

You ever notice how much Trump donates?? His whole reality show was based on donating to charities?

All Hillary does is take donations

- They're anti-Trump, and assume Hillary's the only alternative
- She's a household name ("experienced" = warmed government chairs for a long time)
- The novelty of a female president

There are a lot of people who are going to vote for Hillary because they feel that she will be a better President than Trump would be. And despite your personal feelings, they are not all on the cheese line with Obamaphones.

I didn't support Trump before but this past week gave us a front row seat into what it would look like for Trump to go into full meltdown. We saw Republicans un-endorsing him, denouncing him, leaving the party and promising they could control him if he was elected. It was not pretty. Hillary looks so much more sane.

Hillary Clinton hits Trump on temper, but she's no picnic, either - Washington Times

http://nypost.com/2015/10/02/secret-...-to-work-with/

"“Hillary was very rude to agents, and she didn’t appear to like law enforcement or the military,” former Secret Service agent Lloyd Bulman recalls. “She wouldn’t go over and meet military people or police officers, as most protectees do. She was just really rude to almost everybody. She’d act like she didn’t want you around, like you were beneath her.”"

Justify as you wish. Very common thing these days for the clinton lovers.

Those are my feelings. I figure I don't have to like someone to vote for them as President. I just have to feel that they are the most competent choice for the job.
