Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    To the INTELLIGENT, RATIONAL, HONORABLE HILLARY SUPPORTERS **

    Do you really want these MESSAGES to be HRC's LEGACY -

    1. RULES are for suckers - agreeing to them and then changing them mid-game is the NEW WAY.

    2. If you cannot win on merit, whine, backstab, spread rumors / untruths until victory is yours.

    3. Threaten to scuttle the ship if you are not made captain. That shows your deep love for the ship.

    Imagine how these precepts (and I could go on) will affect our lives, our society and economy.

    SO PLEASE think about it and DO THE RIGHT THING. I started out with a lot of admiration for Bill and Hillary - but gradually I have had to see (and weigh) the pluses and minuses.

    Life will go on ... there won't be any miraculous improvements - no matter who is the candidate! Once we jettison our ethics, civility, rational cooperative problem-solving, focus on real issues - this country is toast - no matter who is the leader.

    Let's UNITE behind a candidate before it is too late!

    ** There will always be a "passionate" few who are unable to separate emotional attachment from rational thinking - but I hope that most of you are indeed honorable, fair minded folks!
