Thank you. While despise is a rather strong word, I really don’t like Hillary Clinton.

I think her ambitions were self-serving and detrimental to the Democratic Party. I believe the reporting about her inconsiderate treatment of her [staff](https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/hillary-clintons-strengths-and-anger-white-house-revealed-msna467166) and her [protection detail](https://www.historyonthenet.com/hillary-clinton-personality).

And I believe that she inappropriately protected Harvey Weinstein. Ronan Farrow claimed in his book on Weinstein that he was also working on a book about US Secretaries of State, and that Hillary pulled her cooperation because he was investigating Weinstein.

I generally like the policies she supports and I would’ve crawled over broken glass to vote for her over Trump, but I really don’t think I’d like her as a person.

Bernie is a useless politician. I don’t dislike him, but he’s about as effective as hydroxychloroquine is for Covid.

I would have eaten the broken glass, and I voted against her twice in her runs for the senate, and again in the 2008 primary.
