I have to admit, I'm somewhat bewildered at the support Hillary Clinton has garnered. Of course I'm equally baffled by Trump and Cruz supporters. But the Hillary Clinton supporters seem completely willing to ignore her voting history as a Senator, her corporate involvement history (you don't get to be on Walmart's board of director's by being someone whose principles can't be bought), her history of speaking for and accepting Wall Street money, (and she's continuing to accept these moneys) her dismal record as Secretary of State (obviously, that is not all on her). One of her largest PACs, Priorities USA Action, has raised $11.5 million for her in the last month. The PAC's biggest contributors? Wall Street billionaires. This is less than a month from the PAC saying they were spending no more money on the primaries. The PAC is led by Clinton's 2008 campaign manager. Does anyone really believe that she is different now? What evidence do we have of that? Until Sanders started making her sweat, her campaign platform was basically maintain the status quo. To this day, her website is filled with "I believe"s and "I'm against"s with out really fleshing out ANY sort of economic OR foreign policy - except if you count "I will continue the fight", which isn't very meaningful. She clearly has not vowed to change anything. Does anyone really believe that things don't need to change? THAT'S what bewilders me.
