Remember, the Clintons have been the targets of a quarter-century-long campaign of Republican disinformation, propaganda, and lies, faithfully echoed by a media which has abandoned fact-checking for “he-said-she-said” under the guise of “objectivity.” The next time you find yourself thinking, “I don’t trust Hillary,” ask yourself, “Is my conclusion based on something she has done or on something Republicans have said?”

And remember, I don’t “like” Hillary and I certainly don’t want to have a beer with her–a Scotch maybe, not a beer. Furthermore, as my two or three regular readers know, I was not a fan of her tactics in the 2008 campaign for the nomination, but I think that, in her conduct since, she has redeemed herself. I find her competent, capable, trustworthy, and electable.

(I also like Bernie. I think he is competent, capable, trustworthy, and unelectable. An avowed socialist is not electable in this country, full stop, however benign his socialism may be.)

I like to vote in the real world. Electability matters.
