The last thing America needs now is a new president with the same last name as a former president. The whole "Hillary is going to be the presumptive democratic nominee" is a republican scare strategy designed to, along with the smears and character assasination by the right wing, drive voters away from the Democratic party. If you check in with the progressive community, you find out she has VERY LITTLE GRASS ROOTS SUPPORT. I do not support her, and will vote for the most qualified "other" candidate. That said, I agree with Curefiend that ones opinion of any candidate should be informed by their political policies and record of votes etc. instead of what their so called "friends" said about them. It is like being in high school, the way the media operates in the political arena nowadays. "I'd vote for Jimmy, but he broke up with my friend Betty, and Mary says he is icky and smells bad" Grow up, people. All politicians are somewhere between a bit corrupt and totally, hellishly craven. Get over it. It is all a matter of degree, AND,.......SOMEBODY is gonna get to control our civic lives. Let's judge them on the nuts and bolts of their policies, not on heresay and gossip. What we REALLY need in this country is a total demolition of bi-partisan politics, dismantling of the two existing parties, and an open playing field. There should be 20 political parties. Not 2. There are certainly more than two viewpoints, right?
