healthcare policy is the defining factor for where a party falls on the political spectrum?
Look, the point I am making is that my country is polarized. It really doesn't matter whether one group is more responsible for it than another. Give me people who are interested in reversing that. Hillary isn't. Where is the Brad Treliving of American politics? A bit of a silly analogy but it illustrates how I feel about Clinton as a leader moving forward.
