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.

Thanks for your reply.


As to the first reason, I get it. Wether it's the right wa to choose a president or not. I can understand how some democrats would be comfortable with familiarity.


2. I don't mind a female president at all. Just not Hillary. I'm sure there are some that'll vote for her for that reason though.


3. I guess number three was what I was really getting at. Of course I understand different people have different values, but setting all that aside, I don't see, with what's she's shown thus far, how people would actually believe that.
