The DNC has a nominee

Last edited Sun Dec 20, 2015, 11:16 PM - Edit history (1)

It is very clear who the "DNC nominee" is right now.

Problem is, the rest of the country hasn't been asked yet.
The former Hillary for president national chairperson and former "veteran of the 1992 Clinton-Gore War Room, providing research, analysis, and whip counts to the Clinton Administration as a member of the White House Office of Legislative Affairs." Hard to trust the process when a major part of that process is controlled by people that already have their candidate too...and it isn't yours.

While I do have problems with HRC on policy, I also have hope she will 'evolve'. Albeit very little hope.

I have serious issues with the people she surrounds herself with, takes advice from and are putting their finger on the scale in her favor. I have very serious trust issues with someone that became a multimillionaire from speeches at Wall St banks and investment companies. A person that made more money in a 20 minute, closed door, no press, speech at CitiBank, than I will make in a 100 lifetimes.
A person with 20 SuperPACs. She has more SuperPACs than all other Dem and teapublican candidates.
How can I trust a person on campaign finance reform that has 20 SuperPACs and gives me chronic alcoholic's excuses of "I'll stop later"?

That is why people express such frustration at your candidate's campaign and supporters.

The next answer is: I don't know.
