Feb 2016

Electability
Political savvy (how government works, support of down ticket Democrats, etc.)
Detailed and workable plans to reign in Wall Street
Improving the ACA
Women's issues

I my view Hillary is strong on all those issues.

It would be nice to not post criticism in this thread so that people feel safe to answer the question. I know I'm as curious as the OP.

Putting words in others' mouths is unsanitary and liable to get your fingers bit.

I live in IL for crying out loud, don't come to me saying I think corruption is a conspiracy. I don't think what some people see as corruption is actually corruption, especially if your talking about the FDA nominee.
