My decision to vote for Hillary Clinton is based on rational thought, or as much as can be extracted from the crazy world we live in.

Clinton has been held responsible for Benghazi, although she wasn’t; but media needs to sell their wares and that makes good reading, saves jobs and makes money. The blame game.

Emails. Absurd. Listen to the woman who is the only candidate making sense re: the future of this country.

Is she establishment? Yes, but she’s also pragmatic and will do her best to make her presidency and this country work.

She’s a worker; she’s strong; she has an independent mindset; she is extremely well-experienced to take the reins of the United States; she will not alienate the rest of the world with absurdities or embarrass us, as those of us who think know Trump would do. She doesn’t shoot from the lip; she has a fine, well-educated mind and is articulate, not a buffoon.

She will become our first woman president and I think she will want history to recognize her for who she is and how she succeeded. I think she knows, as the first woman president, that who she is and how she succeeds will reflect upon the women of this country.

Put emotions aside. She is a politician or she wouldn’t be giving and doing her best to become elected. Regardless of the “politician” moniker, I believe it is time to trust Hillary Clinton.

I do. She has my support and vote.
