I am so dismayed at the constant barrage of negativity toward Hillary Clinton in the national press and, especially, by members (or so-called members) of the Democratic Party. They are saying that she has no original thoughts, that she’s uninspiring, that she’s not exciting, not electrifying. What if this war-torn country, torn from inside and […]

I live on the […]
