I'm sure Clark would be a fine candidate. I'm not interested, for a few reasons:

1. Not to be crude, but, shit or get off the pot. Pardon me. If you wanted me to take you seriously as a candidate, you should have declared some time back. Don't run on rumor that you "might" declare. I have a finite amount of time to study, consider, and campaign. The "what would you do if...." is outside of what I'm going to spend my energy on.

2. Personal bias. I don't trust the military mindset. I'm not saying the general population should feel that way; I'm not saying anyone should agree with me. I'm sure Clark is a fine man. I don't really want to know one way or the other. I'm saying that a lifetime's experience and too much abuse too early in that lifetime leaves me with a PTSD reaction to men, or anyone, whose power rests in might making right. I might respect who they are, and agree that they are good people, but I don't trust them. I don't invite them to dinner. Or to the White House.

3. I've studied the candidates courageous enough to throw their hat in the ring and campaign. I've made my choice; the candidate who most closely aligns with my ideals. That's what the primary is for. In the general election, I will support whoever wins the nomination, whether I like their positions or not. The primary is for me to vote for what I actually believe in.
