You might as well join the Republicans and vote for Trump then.
Hillary is far from perfect. But she is the standard bearer of our Party that faces forces of xenophobia and just plain stupidity on economic issues from the other side.

In the military you see people saluting officers...they are not saluting the person but rather honoring the rank that person represents...the office in other words.

That is sort of the way I view Hillary. I trust her to keep Obama's trajectory going.

Actually her popular vote lead is 2.4 Million.

And a number of the caucus states, where Bernie has done very well, are conspicuously absent from that calculation.

If we are going to leave out states where the candidate has done very well, let's also leave out Hillary's stronghold, the 11 states of the Old Confederacy. When you do that, Bernie leads by about 200,000.

On nearly every level of government, Democrats have lost more seats under Mr. Obama than under any other two-term modern president dating back to Dwight Eisenhower. (This includes the dual presidencies of John F. Kennedy/Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford.)

Under Mr. Obama, Democrats have lost 13 net Senate seats, 69 House seats, 11 governorships, a whopping 913 state legislature seats and 30 state legislature chambers, according to analysis from the Washington Post.

That makes Mr. Obama the overseer of the biggest loss in Senate seats, House seats and state legislature seats of any of the past seven two-term presidencies, the second biggest loser of state legislature chambers (Mr. Nixon/Mr. Ford lost 31 to Mr. Obama’s 30) and fourth biggest loser of governorships (tied with Bill Clinton).

That's a meaningless number in the national scale. The 2.5 million additional votes for Hillary come from states where a Democratic candidate has ZERO chance of winning that state. But if it does sounds good to you, keep on repeating. It's a hollow victory for a shallow person.

Let's look at the so called swing states and add up the vote totals and do a comparison, say by the end of the month and let's talk then.

How about Florida, Ohio and Virginia for starters?

Clinton Uses Noise Machine to Keep Journalists From Hearing Fundraising Speech

What is she trying to hide?

Perhaps something like those Mitt Romney 47% comments?

Quote:
When Hillary Clinton spoke at a fundraiser in Denver Thursday, she apparently went to the unusual step of employing a static noise machine to prevent journalists outside from being able to hear her.

I'd take anything coming from Phil Anschutz's Washington Examiner with a largish grain of salt.
