Hillary supporter

I am not a Democrat, so this seems wrong, or confusing to me. Here is the question I hope someone can answer for me. Why do people supporter Hillary knowing what all the lies and evil things she has done? It is simply beyond me why someone would support a person that has done all these wrongs things while in office, and out of office.

You're applying logic to American politics?

Here are some possibilities I consider in regards to the existence of a Hilldog supporter.

1. They are on strong medication.

2. They are currently being threatened by the Clinton family.

3. They have long since lost the ability to critically think or perhaps never had it in the first place.

4. They simply want to see the world burn.

Another word for "Politics" is lies. They cover their arse. Most people aren't interested enough to look even a little bit past the glitter of persona presented to everyone in the main stream.

Present company excluded.

Maybe because they're sexists and are simply voting for her out of a sense of shared gender identity?



Did I say that?

Dang spot on Nthother!!

I do believe that I now shall consider 5 options when thinking about the kind of individual who would support such a heinous montser known to the world as Hilldog!

Christ I had hoped that after the whole America's first "black" president marketing campaign, that people would wise up to the next marketing campaign of America's first "woman" president.

Gotta give it up to the social engineers!

Well you can elect a dishonest woman with experience in foreign diplomacy, or you can elect the crazy billionaire intern who has no experience whatsoever and wants to build walls.

Experience should negate popularity, and therefore Hilliary should win.

If you call Benghazi "foreign policy experience" then I guess you're right. If you call a private server to circumvent FOIA and distributing your classified emails to just about anyone around you, then I guess you're right. If you call overseeing the "Arab Spring" fiasco "foreign policy experience," then I guess you're right. If you call declaring you were under sniper fire when you were nowhere near it "foreign policy experience," then I guess you are right.

Trump is not going to build a wall any more than Sanders is going to turn America pure socialist. But both these guys are considered "outsiders" (even though Sanders has been in Congress a bazillion years) and what people are saying is that they are tired of Washington insiders, like Clinton, giving us the same old same old term after term.

Clinton has LIV voters: Low Information Voters, the low-IQ, do-what-I-am-told voters that can be relied on to vote Dem: Yellow Dog Democrats and others. So she has a chance.

I don't support HIllary, but I can turn the question around and ask why would anyone support an arrogant, mean obnoxious bully, and Narcissist like Donald Trump? I'm sure he has skeletons in his own closet.

It's just the sad state of affairs among American voters and how they ignore the 800lb gorilla in the room when they choose a candidate. If we look back at current and past presidents, most of them have had scandals or impeachable offenses.

Politics is a self-serving and dirty business.

Maybe because evil people are lying about her being evil and lying?

Anybody who would consider voting for Hillary should have their brain weighed.

Obviously.

I think she has great taste in fall colors, her talent for pandering to blacks, gays and women shows a level of talent unseen before. She was bill Clintons wife, what more could you want ?

A fully functionally working brain!

She's a woman and we need a woman president.

Identity politics trumps all in the eyes of "progressive" democrats.

I am canadian and i ask myself the same question everytime i see hillary having high number in polls, she is an evil witch plain and simple.

There is a large segment of the population that votes Democrat because it is a family tradition, under threat of family excommunication. The Dems could prop a broom up to a podium and they would vote for it.
When they leave the home they go to college and have their bias supported by liberal professors. They turn the TV on and their bias is supported by liberal media. They watch movies and their bias is supported by liberal producers, directors, and actors. They cannot find jobs so they depend on govt. welfare becoming dependent on the State. If a few slip through the cracks and make any money and become successful, it is their only chance at freedom of choice.

I've been wondering about Hilary as President along much the same lines as your question. You ask why anyone would support Hilary and I've been researching what a Hilary Presidency will mean to the US.

Who will vote for Hilary?
Basically, if you look at her website, she's appealing to the "Us v. Them" crowd where the US is anyone not white and not male and "Them" is the avg. white, middle class white guy who hunts and fishes and serves in the US military. She's appealing to the US that identifies as victim, as "Progressive", as "Liberal", as "oppressed", as "LGBT", etc....the usual suspects actually and Obama's base in particular. She's of course appealing to the Immigrant and Latino voter claiming she'll grant amnesty and pursue the "Dream" act.

To get a flavor of how Hilary appeals to these various groups see these bullet points from her economic plans:
*Expand employment Opportunities (I have no idea what that means unless she's saying "increase federal jobs")
*Provide tax relief for Small business and the middle class
*Enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform (Why is that in the Economics bullet points)
*Make America the world's clean energy super power. (This is important if your an investor That means more free gov't investment money to Tesla, First Solar etc. and it means hardship for Oil & Gas and Coal. It'll also probably mean ever increasing energy taxes and Electric rates across the US.
*Fund breakthroughs in Medical and scientific research (Everyone says that; its a sop to Big Pharma that feeds her campaign funds.)
*Increase private and public investment (she doesn't say in what......probably Abortion Clinics)
For the rest you can see: www.hillaryclinton.com...

Her social justice initiatives are pretty much what you'd expect; she wants to federalize local police forces by forcing down Federal regs on them; she wants to let crooks out of prison and to integrate them into middle class communities where the profits from crime will be higher and violent assaults will be more rewarding. And of course, I'm sure she's all for TPP.

Her anti-gun proposals are interesting. She proposes to "Repeal the gun industry’s unique immunity protection. Hillary believes the gun industry must be held accountable for violence perpetrated with their guns. Hillary will lead the charge to repeal the so-called “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act,” a dangerous law that prevents victims of gun violence from holding negligent manufacturers and dealers accountable for violence perpetrated with their guns." And of course she supports the assault weapons ban. All this to make people "feel" safer because her base is all about "feelings" and not reality. Whatever, nothing really new there except wanting to repeal the gun industry's immunity protection. That could well dry up manufacturing which then only leaves the problem of how to get existing firearms out of circulation. My guess is she'll take the approach of outlawing sale and ownership of any weapon "capable" of accepting a magazine that holds more than ten rounds.

There you have it; for more check the website.

So,we need a woman president? I am a woman,would you vote for me to
become president? I am already the Queen of ATS,I could lower my standards
and become president if you really want that!

You know, I don't get why people say, "well I voted for so and so because she/he was the lesser of two evils." Evil is still evil. Why would you vote at all. Never vote for evil, lesser or greater.
