Obama’s supporters may lose the White House for their guy

As a life-long democrat (well, like Hillary, I was raised republican but saw the light in college and switched parties before my first presidential election), I am desperately looking forward to a Democratic Party administration after 8 years of George W’s idiotic foreign and domestic policy.

That scares me; but not for the reason you may think.

I’m afraid of Obama’s supporters. Not the man himself. Many – and perhaps most – of those supporters are newcomers to politics. And of them, a very vocal few are pulling no stops in belittling and demonizing Hillary Clinton and her supporters.
