HRC - guilty of political ineptitude

UPDATE - since actually researching Dr. Stein (a wonderful, reputable woman) & the Green Party, after listening to Eliz Warren & Bernie Sanders & Michelle Obama, after realizing that HRC is no worse today than I thought her two weeks ago, will still support the Democratic Platform with my vote.  07/26/16

What cosmic forces conspired to get the USA in such a sorry state of affairs?

Pretty powerful, if they have ME planning on casting my precious presidential vote for Jill Stein, of the Green Party, basically clearing the decks for Donald Trump to win.  As shocking as this is to write - anyone but Hillary.

Hillary Clinton blew my vote yesterday with the announcement that the disgraced & departing DNC Chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, would be named an honorary chair to the Clinton campaign.  It was the final CLICK in my brain that the woman lacks the political instincts to be president.

DWS was forced out of DNC leadership because it became public knowledge that the DNC was taking an active role in defeating a surging Bernie Sanders.  Small wonder the revered iconoclast received little press coverage & what little he got tended to be openly scoffing. 

Instead of distancing herself, HRC did just the opposite, saying to the world (& Bernie's millions of supporters), "This is MY sidekick, amigo, unabashed supporter." 

The Democratic Convention starts today.  The wisest thing for the PARTY would be for DWS to leave NOW.  If her belief is, as reported, that convention is a big part of what will be her legacy, she seems hell-bent on blackening what shred of credibility she has left.  How right for someone so self-absorbed to be so politically clueless that she leaves herself wide open to cat calls & derision.  Ineptitude attracts ineptitude.  

Fortune reports that Hillary wants her BFF to help with the 50-state campaign to win down ticket races, a flagrantly bold build off her role during the primaries for her gal pal. 

As for Bernie supporters, if they weren't already riled at how their candidate was treated, if they weren't fired up after  the e-mail was revealed, this stupid stunt is going to drive them away in droves. 

I'm not even a Bernie supporter & she lost my vote for the cavalier way she's treated him & the MILLIONS of true believers who are already seriously pissed at HRC. 

Hillary Rodham Clinton has no political instincts.  She will lose thanks to apparently going out of her way to alienate Bernie Sanders' supporters.  She will lose because she talks policy policy policy, while Donald Trump speaks to the nation's emotions, ripped raw since 9/11; instead of soothing healing salve on our wounds, he makes folks feel perversely better by picking at the scab, re-inflaming the wounds.  She will lose because she feels entitled to be POTUS, not because she ever should be. 

Mrs. Clinton, I was a grudging supporter because the alternative seemed so unthinkable.  You lost me this past weekend.  I'd decided not to get the Giant Meteor 2016 bumper sticker because it sends a negative message - your invitation to DWS to make obvious the alliance that was apparently always in place is political malpractice at its worse & we cannot afford it in the Whiten House. ' You are the dumbest smart person on the face of the planet.
