Hillary was not my first choice. She has run an excellent campaign.
And in complete fairness, there are two reasons why I preferred Bernie:
1) Bernie is a bit more direct on key progressive issues, which is not necessarily the best way to get things done.
2) Hillary's "negatives"
But on that second point, what is that? Polls say she is considered less honest than Trump? WTF?
After thinking on this, I have come to the conclusion that we have been extraordinarily unfair to this woman. Ask anybody to actually cite specific examples of how Hillary has not been honest. They cannot. All they can do is throw out buzzwords like "emails", "Whitewater", or "Benghazi". But where is the meat? Those are just vague generalities that mean nothing. When you ask for details, there isn't anything.
Kenneth Starr spent millions of dollars and 4 years trying to prove something about Whitewater and never came up with anything other than innuendo. Vince Foster? All of these things are just innuendo.
Let's understand what we are up against. There has been a continuous, intense, 25-year campaign to destroy this woman. It is character assassination that is based on practically no facts. It is just "the drumbeat" that never stops for that entire 25 years.
And here's the thing, if they can do this to Hillary, they can do it to anybody else. It is no different from the Birther attacks against Obama. We must stand up against this, and I am confident that is exactly what will happen on Tuesday.
