“”I do not understand why anyone would still be giving money to this crooked has-been.””
Same here. People just don’t want to be convinced how crooked/rotten she is...
I think a lot of people decide - just from tradition or mindlessly - that they belong to a ‘party’; and they identify with and become deeply invested in that, and will vote for whomever the party puts out there.
The fact that Bernie made a real dent in the party ‘hive-mind’ last year may prove to be a Very Good Thing - just as Trump coming along was a Very Good Thing for those of us disgusted with the moribund Republican party.
(I’m more grateful all the time that I’ve never been a ‘signed-up’ anything. If you don’t buy into a hive-mind, at least the only mistakes/poor judgment you have to live down are your personal ones. It seems that you take it all more responsibly, then ;-)
