Re: Are Hillary supporters soon to be called "cult followers
by BP in NJ

Not all Clinton supporters are cult followers. I'm a former Clinton supporter and I can see some of the reasons there are still so many behind her; especially the older women. Older women (for arguments sake say, over 60) fought so hard against discrimination that this would be the crowning achievement in a struggle against sexism. Younger women don't see this as an insurmountable obstacle and can readily see another woman running for president one day.

Personally, I am in my 40's and while I clearly remember sexism as being more prominent once upon a time, I also see how much it has diminished.

As I said earlier, I used to like Clinton. Then I was undecided between the two democrats. The more I listened objectively the more I liked Obama. Then I lost respect for Clinton when she decided to go with the win at any cost program. Now the deceit, outright lying, and threatening to go to the convention to get the nomination is embarrassing. I don't think Hillary realizes how out of touch with reality she has now become. She rails against disenfranchising voters, but then threatens to overturn those same voters with the super delegates. She has become blinded by ambition and seems willing to destroy the party in the process. I am seriously starting to question her sanity. I know that's a horrible thing to say and I don't like saying it. But now I believe she will be pulled off the stage in a straight - jacket having finally lost it when she has to face reality.
