Amazing piece.

Closing paragraph --
"Most of the people who hate Hillary when shes running for office end up liking her just fine once shes won. And I have every confidence that history will repeat itself again this November. As for myself, I have been watching Presidential elections since Nixon. And never in my life has there been an easier or more obvious choice than now. Trump is not merely a bad choice, he is (as many leading Republicans have already admitted) a catastrophic choice, unfit in every possible way for the office of the Presidency.
As such, I happily voted for Hillary in my primary. And I will proudly vote for her in November. Yes she will disappoint us all on occasion. Who doesnt? But I think shes also going to surprise a lot of people. She will fear neither consensus when possible nor ass-kicking when necessary. She will safeguard us from the damage a right-wing Supreme Court would inflict on the nation. She will stand for the rights of women, LGBT Americans, and minorities. She will maintain critical global relationships, and she will react to dangerous situations with the temperament of a seasoned and experienced professional. And in a nation that didnt even allow women to vote until 1920, she will make history by shattering the very highest glass ceiling, and in doing so forever change the way a generation of young women view their place in our Republic.
Shes going to be a fine President.
Im with her."

When she makes decisions she will have more information than we as citizens have and will have to make hard decisions. I voted for Hillary in the primary and will gladly vote for her in November.

This is the Rethugs big hourah this weekend. Once the Freek Fest Ends,then,you will see President Obama,Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders out on the campaign trail. And of course,Joe Biden will really jack the crap out of Trump.
Once Bernie nails the so called Liberal Media for their bias time and time again,watch the polls go over the top for Hillary.
