I was in a dress shop yesterday and the sales lady (no one else in the store) said about these

[bkkyosemite]

elections, starting a conversation with me. I said yes? That got my attention. She said I'm 63. I said well I'll be 70 the end of this month. She said you know we both know the truth about Hillary Clinton (hadn't said anything about politics at this point and this is a red county). I thought oh oh she is a Republican and now I'm gonna hear it.

She then said that she is dishonest and her history is all there. She said the younger people just don't know what she is really like or her background, she's dishonest, and you know (she says) and all those dealings with her and her husband. Her character is the issue for me. At this point I'm thinking she's voting for Trump.

I said can I ask who you will vote for. She said...Bernie Sanders. He tells the truth and has not swayed in all these years from his beliefs. That's integrity which is not what Clinton has. (above paraphrased). I was surprised that she would be so bold in a red county to just spit that out. But she did.

She was telling me specifics about Hillary's past that I know but did not think the average person knew. She is that person out there who is really paying attention and has been for years. She is a Democrat. Her final comment was..."the older you are the more you remember about the Clinton's".

I said nice talking to you and left the store. As I walked out I thought how many more of us oldies feel that way because older people (seniors) are said to support HRC. Interesting day shopping for sales.

1. I'm pretty sure the Hillary campaign would like us all to know that your 63YO friend is

a sexist, RW-meme loving, Millennial, Bernie-Bro.

[Mother Of Four]

5. Removing my reply -

I re read it and I think I knee jerked my response... apologies.

[JackRiddler]

16. But but math. Single case!

Ladies in clothing stores just talk, it takes a mail-in ballot to vote!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

2. Yes, people should know the truth about Hillary. Here it is right there:

And an early happy birthday to you, bkkyosemite!

7. Goldwater Girl. One of the reasons that I remember that

Goldwater got beat was because of his hawkish stance and the apple (Hillary) doesn't fall far from the tree. The country was afraid that Goldwater would keep us at war forever.

12. I hope no one ever judges me for starting out as a young adult with my parent's political beliefs.

It took a few years, but once I was living on my own, I was able to make up my own mind.

[JackRiddler]

17. You are absolutely right, except for the part...

where they arranged an attack on Sanders for supposedly not doing what he was actually doing at the time. So if the 1960s are fair game to lie about Sanders, who opened up the can of worms?

[MrMickeysMom]

14. That was uplifting!

Makes me wonder if we might look forward to her next foundation with Henry Kissinger.... WarCriminalsRuS!

[malokvale77]

3. I'm one of those oldies you wondered about.

My memories of the Clinton's are very much intact.

4. republicans or the republican influenced mindsets usually hate the Clinton's and Obama...

... cause their either republican or the "republican" mindset.

I think the sales lady confiirms such

[IdaBriggs]

8. I am not a Republican. I adore President Obama. I supported Bill Clinton

in the 90s. I was proud Hillary was chosen to be Secretary of State.

Now her constant lies, position changes on key issues that I care deeply about and what appears to be horribly careless and/or possible criminal behavior (emails/waiting on FBI) with the appearance of impropriety and corruption relating to her personal financial situation has me positively loathing her.

Still not a Republican. Still adore President Obama. Still neither male nor millennial.

My reality does not match with your opinion.

[Autumn]

20. I loved Bill Clinon, still do most of the time, supported Hillary till the very end in 08 I thought

that the proudest day of my life was when I caucused for her here in CO. Proudly voted for Obama twice, the second time even though I was disappointed in some of his actions. You have no clue

[jwirr]

6. It really upsets me when I realize that so many older people

are voting for Hillary. For years we have watched what they did. But one thing I think is that they do not understand what the results of what the Clintons did for future generations. How many older people understand that so many black people and families have been destroyed by the tough on crime laws and the so called welfare reform? How many even know what the Glass-Steagall bill was all about?

I knew about the first two because I was personally involved. But I did not know about Glass-Steagall at the time.

Only now when we are hearing about this from the internet and Bernie are we getting educated enough to think about it. Once the DLC/Third Way got control of the WH/Congress nothing was said about any of it.

9. It also took some time for the destructiveness of Clinton's agenda to play out

At the time it looked like prosperity. It turned out to be a financial market bubble and the early stages of a housing bubble. It took some years to see the long term impact of NAFTA, Glass-Steagall, deregulation of derivatives, the Crime Bill, Welfare Reform, the Telecommunications Act and other policies from the Clinton years.

Thomas Frank, from his book "Listen, Liberal:"

<Only a Democrat was capable of getting bank deregulation passed; only a Democrat could have rammed NAFTA through Congress; and only a Democrat would be capable of privatizing Social Security, as George W. Bush found out in 2005. "It's kind of the Nixon-goes-to-China theory," the conservative Democrat Charles Stenholm told the historian Steven Gillion on this last subject. "It takes a Democrat to do some of the hard choices in social programs."

To judge by what he actually accomplished, Bill Clinton was not the lesser of two evils, as people on the left always say about Democrats at election time; he was the greater of the two. What he did as President was beyond the reach of even the most diabolical Republicans. Only smiling Bill Clinton, well-known friend of working families, could commit such betrayals.>

10. I am wondering if you last paragraph may not be true now?

[BernieforPres2016]

13. I agree, it could also apply to Hillary nt

[Stellar]

11. I think I would have told her....

that I'm voting blue no matter who.

[me b zola]

15. Bernie the bridge builder

...in every wonderful way imaginable!

[oasis]

18. "And oh, by the way, Bernie's gonna get me a pay hike to $15."

[grasswire]

19. I have a story too

You know how Jews are not going to vote for Bernie? My friend M...., a college English professor on Long Island, and Jewish, is proudly and enthusiastically voting for Bernie today and so are many of his Jewish neighbors.
