To which I commented, saying that she was unlikely to stop that as well. That said, your response made no reference to the numerous other issues mentioned, all of which the GOP candidates are very vocally against.
Again, I am not a Hillary supporter, when it comes to Wall Street connections she's in the same ballpark as these GOP candidates, but on other issues that matter to me--healthcare, social issues like marriage/LGBT/race/gender equity, etc, she's still far better, also her choices for the Supreme court are far less likely to replace Antonin Scalia with a younger version of himself.
I plan to vote Sanders in the primary, but the bottom line is, come November, I'm voting Democrat no matter who wins the races (unless Trump comes out ahead for the GOP and magically starts laying out progressive policies), because a Wall Street democrat still lines up with my personal values better than does someone who believes their religious beliefs trump a gay person's right to marry, that women don't deserve the right to choose, that access to healthcare is a privilege, or that climate change is a hoax.
I don't love Hillary, and I'm voting against her in the primary, but she's still far less scary to me than any of the GOP field.
