Quote: I'm a Conservative Republican, hence I'm not answering your question from the perspective of a Democrat. The impression/ gut feeling I have though is a large number of Democrats that support Hillary Clinton support her for the following three reasons despite all of her baggage:


1. She's the wife of former President Bill Clinton, who is still very popular with many Democrats.

2. Hillary Clinton would be the first woman President, which is something that appears very meaningful to many Democrats.

3. Throughout this election cycle, a large number of Democrats believe Hillary Clinton is the best hope for the Democrats to remain in power in the executive branch of the government.

As a registered member of the democratic party, the reason I'm voting for her is that she's the lesser evil of the 2 main candidates.


All my friends and family that are also voting democratic are voting based on the lesser of two evils.


The woman thing hasn't even been discussed in the conversations I've had with my friends.


It's funny, until you mentioned the gender thing, I don't even look at Hillary as the first woman...


I look at her has the last gasps of an elitist dynasty that is the only defence against an megalomaniac that could end this nation. At least with Hillary, the status quo will remain with maybe some movement on social issues.
