Ready for Hillary 2016

You’re either with her or with Trump. And I’m with her!

hillary-clinton-2016-president-electionI campaigned for Hillary in 2008 and very much looking forward to her locking in the nomination. I had quite a bit of anxiety yesterday, waiting for the New York primary results to pour in, but it went as predicted and that was a relief.

Here in San Francisco, a George Clooney-hosted fundraiser for Hillary Clinton at the home of venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar attracted protestors. Pishevar responded, “Only in America would an Iranian-born immigrant son of a taxi driver and maid trying to help elect our first woman president be protested at his home. I welcome nonviolent protests as an exercise of our great democracy.” LOVE THAT!

As for feeling the Bern: Bernie, you and I share alma maters, but that is pretty much all we share. Your ideas are intriguing, but also quite aloof. Free college education? Who is going to pay for that? I surely will not!

Lastly, lest you think I have been a life-long Democrat. A donkey–I am not. I registered Republican at 18 and became an Independent in ’08 to campaign for Hillary. So yeah I voted for Bush and McCain.

I repeat: I’m with her. LET’S DO THIS!

    I am not a Hillary fan but she is better than the alternatives out there.

    Hillary is, without a doubt, the most qualified candidate. The idea of any of the other candidates becoming our president scares me to death.

      It makes me sad that people do not like her. I think she isn’t given a fair chance. She has worked in support of people her whole life.

    I’m ready for Hillary. This election is crazy; I just want it to be over and move on. My daughter is voting for the first time – what a year to start off with!

      I have read that more people are voting in the current election than any other in history…probably because of how zany it has become.
