As a Democrat I'd vote for HRC, but that's not the problem.

Sure, I'd vote for Hillary Clinton if she was the nominee. I'm confident she'd make a pretty good President. But the problem isn't whether or not I would vote for her.

The problem is that she's the Democratic nominee most likely to put a Republican in office.

With stakes this high, is it worth the risk? To me, not even close. Not when we've got other candidates out there that would be equally (if not more) outstanding in the White House.

There's no denying that she's a polarizing figure. She's been "battling the Republicans" for years, right? Good for her. But that also means, if she's nominated, we're looking at another sharply divided election, one with very few voters crossing party lines. With stakes this high, I want a candidate with the ability to bring in the independent vote.
