I do not trust Hillary's ability to deal with people who disagree with her, her ability to control her temper or her ability to listen and learn and change her mind and investigate when confronted with new information. I don't think she is very careful in reaching decisions. Specifically, she was warned by Code Pink not to vote for the Iraq War and she brusquely and peevishly and rudely ignored the warnings. Her conduct in the following video reminds me a bit of John McCain's behavior. She is beter than he is, but . . . .
Obama is really cool when confronted with what he considers to be hecklers or people with opinions or experience different from his own. He does not just dismiss them or their ideas. That's what we need in a president.
Hillary does not have that kind of temperament. Bernie Sanders does. And Elizabeth Warren although very passionate also does. She genuinely listens to the opinions and ideas of others. She has a hotter temper than Bernie does, but her temper arises when she sees injustice, not when someone disagrees with her mindset or opinions.
It is not a matter of guilt by association in my view. It is a matter of choosing the best candidate, one who will best serve the country.
In my view, Hillary has two good traits. First she speaks strongly on the rights of women and children. And second, I think she is not afraid of bullies. Those are her two good traits. But she just does not have the cool judgment that I want my president to have. There are lots of other reasons that I don't want her in the White House.
Hillary has a lot of baggage because of the mistakes Bill made as president. And the two of them are Third Way Democrats, meaning that they think it is positive to rely on corporate money, advocate for corporate policies and interests and then accept the kinds of speaking engagements and for their charity donations that do have the appearance if not the reality of corruption.
