What is it with the Hillary cult?
As a lifelong Democrat who will be enthusiastically voting for Bernie Sanders in next week’s Pennsylvania primary, I have trouble understanding the fuzzy rosy filter through which Hillary fans see their champion. So much must be overlooked or discounted—from Hillary’s compulsive money-lust and her brazen indifference to normal rules to her conspiratorial use of shadowy surrogates and her sociopathic shape-shifting in policy positions for momentary expedience.
Hillary’s breathtaking lack of concrete achievements or even minimal initiatives over her long public career doesn’t faze her admirers a whit. They have a religious conviction of her essential goodness and blame her blank track record on diabolical sexist obstructionists. When at last week’s debate Hillary crassly blamed President Obama for the disastrous Libyan incursion that she had pushed him into, her acolytes hardly noticed. They don’t give a damn about international affairs—all that matters is transgender bathrooms and instant access to abortion.

WOW! Don't think much of Hillary, do you. Can't say I agree with almost anything you wrote.

Flowergirl,
Those aren't my words, but the words of the author who wrote the article that I linked. I find it interesting it was written by a Democrat for a publication that has a decidedly liberal bent.
I will that I agree that I am not sure what her real accomplishments have been and she does tend to pick her political positions based on what she thinks will get her elected.
I did think the article was thought provoking and would generate a good discussion. It is these Bernie supporters that dispise Hillary and I wonder what they will do come November, will they vote for her or stay home?

Looking at the articles CAMILLE PAGLIA has authored in the past it certainly appears she has had it in for Hillary for quite a while (along with many current day feminists).
Not sure what criteria is most important to being POTUS but at least her credentials in understanding world political dynamics is way above all the other contenders in either party that are currently in the race.

She probably does understand world dynamics better than anyone, but I dont trust hr decision making.
She has shown that she will do what she thinks is best for her at the time and in the future, not what is best for the country. Hillary is all about Hillary (as are most candidates)

So far I believe Trump is much scarier especially when it comes to world relationships and the stances he has at least espoused so far.
