Earth to Trump: Hillary Clinton is a Woman 
Posted: 01/02/2016 11:18 am EST Updated: 5 hours ago
In his maniacal rantings about Hillary playing the woman's card Trump ignores what is right before his eyes; she is a brilliant, experienced and passionate woman whose supporters, male and female, will be working hard to elect her President of the United States of America. Clinton is the most prepared person running for President in decades with the range of experience and knowledge few if any past Presidents have had. Before his ego ran wild Donald Trump agreed. But this campaign has seen whatever common sense and decency he once possessed go out the window. All his recent threats to launch attacks against Bill Clinton are symptoms of candidate out of control and one afraid to face the person who is actually running for President, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Should Republicans nominate Trump the country will see him for the hypocrite he is. The thrice married Trump has always been a wheeler dealer. The Village Voice chronicled some of his deals and political manipulation including those leading to the building of the Grand Hyatt on top of Grand Central Terminal in New York, built with a 40 year $60 million tax abatement paid for by the taxpayers of New York City. He has never done anything for anybody else that didn't benefit him.
Those who have watched all the Republican debates and the three Democratic ones, Clinton backers now wishing there were more, have seen first-hand Hillary Clinton is far and away the smartest person participating in any of them. By dint of her leadership, experience and intelligence she is able to speak to both domestic issues and foreign affairs with an understanding and passion not evident in any other candidate.
As a progressive Democrat there is an admiration for Bernie Sanders and his passionate fight for economic equality. He has brought important issues to the forefront in this campaign. Yet a sober look at his record shows he is neither a leader nor had much real success in moving his ideas forward. Reviewing his over twenty-five years in Congress shows a total of three bills passed; two naming Post Offices in Vermont. There is a reason he can't get one Senator he served with to support him and the majority of the Progressive Caucus on the Hill has endorsed Hillary with only one member endorsing Sanders. Still if Democrats were to make him their nominee he should be supported because paraphrasing what he has said about Hillary, 'On his worst day he is better than any Republican running on their best day'. I know what it means to work with a fighting progressive having worked for one of the most outspoken ever to sit in Congress, Bella S. Abzug (D-NY). Bella never gave up her ideals and principles yet like Hillary she often managed to work across the aisle to get something done. In her six short years in Congress she was even named a whip by Speaker Tip O'Neill. ........................
