In the 1970s when I attended college in the South, I was labeled a conservative Democrat. I believed in rights for all, a strong military because it is a f--king dangerous world, fiscal responsibility because we needed to invest more wisely in the American people and the right to own a gun.
I still believe in those things.
When the Clintons arrived at the White House in 1993 they were also conservative Democrats with a proven track record. Of course, Republicans painted them as flaming communist Liberals, flag burners, dirty hippies and much more. Stupid, destructive politics. But it worked.
This country can only change from within and both Democrats and Republicans know that.
Hillary Clinton is becoming more and more attractive to Republicans, and not only because of Trump, I think, but because they are actually listening to her. It is about time, as she has three decades of respect from world leaders and being the most admired woman in the world for almost two decades helps, too.
The die hard Bernie supporters that are Hillary haters are just a small fraction, polls show about 90% of Bernie supporters are voting for Hillary. When Hillary lost the nomination in 2008 to Obama, polls indicated as many as 28% of Hillary supporters would vote for McCain...well that didn't happen.
Bernie turned the Democratic Party to the left in the one year he was a member of the party, which was remarkable in itself. It saddens me he decided to return to being an Independent.
Thank you Bernie. You did make a difference.
The icing on the cake -- Republican voters and politicians are realizing that a President Clinton is better than a Dicktator Trump.
Who says Hillary isn't an uniter?

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.”
Donald Trump is living up to his reputation as thin-skinned bully.
At a Davenport, Iowa, rally on Thursday, Trump threatened to attack several of the Democratic National Convention’s speakers for their remarks against him.
“I was gonna hit one guy in particular, a very little guy,” Trump said at his rally. “I was gonna hit this guy so hard, his head would spin, he wouldn’t know what the hell happened.”

Hack The Voter
Following the hack of Democratic National Committee emails and reports of a new cyberattack against the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, worries abound that foreign nations may be clandestinely involved in the 2016 American presidential campaign. Allegations swirl that Russia, under the direction of President Vladimir Putin, is secretly working to undermine the U.S. Democratic Party. The apparent logic is that a Donald Trump presidency would result in more pro-Russian policies. At the moment, the FBI is investigating, but no U.S. government agency has yet made a formal accusation.
