Now that the clown car is empty, and the man with tiny hands is the last clown standing, I will give 2 reasons that I will vote for Hillary.
1. She was instrumental in securing equal rights to education for children with disabilities. I have a grandchild who has special needs, and those rights are priceless to me. Here from the organization that she began work with:
| Quote: | Washington, DC -The Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) celebrated forty years of changing the odds for children and honored Former Secretary of State and CDF alumna Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday, September 30, 2013. Secretary Clinton was recognized for her dedication and contributions to child advocacy.
“CDF is pleased to recognize Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been a tireless voice for children. She’s brilliant. She cares deeply about children. She perseveres. She’s an incredibly hard worker, and she stays with it. She’s done extraordinarily well in everything she’s ever done. and I’m just so proud of her,” said Marian Wright Edelman, President of the Children’s Defense Fund.
In a video tribute Clinton, said “It’s the mission that CDF has stood for that I’m proud that I was a small part of promoting…We worked hard in the White House. We certainly appreciated the efforts of organizations like CDF kind of, you know, charging ahead.”
Hillary Rodham Clinton was with CDF from the beginning. Rodham joined CDF as a young staff attorney right out of law school and knocked on doors to research and help prepare CDF’s first landmark report, Children Out of School in America – a major catalyst for the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, now the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. She became a CDF board member and ultimately board chair until she became First Lady.

2. She was instrumental in providing health care for poor children--the Children's Health Insurance Program, CHIP. Here from 2008 is a fact check article establishing her role: http://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/giving-hillary-credit-for-schip/
While the initial passage of the CHIP program was bi-partisan, with 85 Senators voting in favor, Republicans have steadily opposed expansion of the program. Bush vetoed 2 bills in 2007, and the expansion of the program had to wait until Obama took office and the Democrats had majorities in both teh House and Senate. CHIP provides health care to about 8 million children whose parents cannot afford it.
During that time Trump's public service record consisted of stiffing the government on taxes and contractors on payment for their efforts. He was, of course, pursuing the high social values of trying to line his pockets by extracting money from those addicted to gambling. In the process he left local contractors, the City of Atlantic City, and the Federal government holding the bag. The choice could not possibly be clearer. |

As if Mac would vote for anyone but a Democrat. PLEASE!
At least the republicans had a Car(choices) unlike the dems who sent their anointed pick on a unicycle.
Apparently democracy is something democrats only talk about.. |

| As expected, a little misogyny from NW and nothing of substance from Matty that extols the merits of little hands. |

| Remind me how many more votes than Hillary Bernie got? And remind me what he accomplished? And JB--you should be ashamed. If you have no valid criticism except a misogynist slur, just shut up. |

From her defense of a rapist who brutalized a 12 year old girl, to the DNC fix of the election, Hillary Clinton should be charged with treason.
Had Bernie been promoted like she was, had the debates been held earlier at prime times, Bernie would have been the nominee. She is s vile slithering worm. |
