Is this the best Democrats can do?

Bill Greener writes at Newsday,

After being part of demonizing the near countless number of women who more than credibly accused her own husband of sexual abuse, Hillary Clinton recently admonished: “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed and supported.”

It is just a matter of time until Mrs. Clinton is forced to have more to say on this subject than her recent dismissive comments.

Americans seem to think fiddling around with national security when you are secretary of state by granting yourself the privilege of your own email server is not a trifling matter, at least according to survey data. After claiming no classified material was involved, we now learn it is 999 and counting.

The mingling of her family’s trust with donations from individuals and countries with specific interests involving the State Department when Mrs. Clinton was secretary also does not seem to be a minor affair. Try keeping a straight face when you hear that Hillary Clinton insists she tried to join the Marines while in law school.

Her inability to even attempt to be consistent on matters of policy is constant and obvious to those not dedicated to seeing any Democrat occupy the White House.

In 2008, her comments about strongly believing in traditional marriage were supposed to be taken quite seriously. Now, without so much as a blink of the eye, she is righteously indignant anyone would oppose gay marriage.

On immigration, it used to be “I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants.” Now, to even use the term illegal immigrant is a bad thing. Now, sanctuary cities are wonderful.

Running against Barack Obama, she attacked him on the matter of gun control. Now, no restrictive measure seems to be too extreme to impose.

NAFTA, raising the debt ceiling, arming the Syrian rebels, ethanol, the list of flip-flops goes on and on and on. Americans understand what this represents. It is the lurching of a person concerned about only winning, an individual with no real set of principles to guide them.

Americans obviously want Democrats to put forth a candidate who can honorably represent the legacy a great party should offer the public come election time. It is also obvious that at this point, Democrats seem more interested in sticking one of their own in the face of widespread opposition, an opposition borne of rejecting a terribly flawed and unprincipled individual, Hillary Clinton.

Democrats can do better. America is depending on it.
