In my opinion Hillary Clinton is the best choice for the Democrats this election. Yes, I said it!

Since politicians left and right have been entering the race, I have been disappointed with most the Democratic candidates. I don't see the appeal for Bernie Sanders at all; he's another Ron and Rand Paul with "progressive" flavoring. Like Sanders, O'Malley is a coward. When the Black Lives Matter moment interrupted their speeches, they backed down with their tale between their legs and kissed ass to the media so they wouldn't come out as negative. I lost all my respect for those two.

So Hillary would have eaten BLM with her tenacious lizard teeth? There really is no reason to call Sanders or O'Malley a coward... The job of politicians is to listen to others ideas and help better represent them. Listen I really hate the way the BLM supporters got up on stage and stole Sanders' mic but, in the end he is now incorporating a lot of new police brutality language into his speeches. On to your point of them kissing the Media's ass. I don't follow O'Malley, but I have seen most of Bernie's moments on air and I really do not see what you are getting at.

I know this rant seems like a mad Sanders supporter getting upset at any Hillary poster, but when you attack someone for "kissing ass" and being a "coward" for listening to ideas and being part of our democracy that crosses the line to me.

No, I see where you're coming from in your reply. While I don't always follow the news, I feel both Sanders and O'Malley were cowards because they're not very confrontational and just backed down.  I feel that's a bad weakness if they want to become President.

While I don't know how it has affect Sander's campaign, when it happened to O'Malley, he commented that "all lives matter; including black lives" but he soon backtracked and regretted saying "all lives matter". To me it was wrong of him to backtracked. Like he was wrong for saying all lives mattered.

While I know Hillary isn't perfect as a candidate either, I love that she's more confident that the rest of the Democratic candidates. Just wish other than Sanders someone was willing to call her out and challenge her, make them both look good in the progress.

Hillary is the weak one with all of her focus groups telling her what to say. Sanders has taken strong stands, whether it was for gay pride in 1985 as mayor, one of the few elected white politicians for Jesse Jackson in 1988, one of the few to vote against the Glass Steagall in 1999, or the Patriot Act in 2001. He strongly opposed the Iraq war in 2002. His votes show a courage, which Hillary does not.

That will be a great campaign slogan for Bernie Sanders. No, I understand Hillary is nowhere near perfect, nor is anyone else and I understand a lot of voters would find her history, views, and stances unfavorably.

This might sound bias, but I love that she's a woman. She does break down the glass ceiling and influences future woman leaders. No, I'm not a "PUMA" someone who thinks just because Hillary is a woman, therefore she's better than the men. No, that's wrong! I hated when many where upset just because Barack Obama got the nomination, only to be elected soon afterword.

For me Hillary's character is what I'm attracted to. But I need to learn more about her and the other candidates before I participate in voting. I want the best  candidate for my choice
