19. Sure as hell won't

…be the reason I vote for her.

It's all about the issues and policy for me.

Will vote for her purely to vote against her Republican opponent. Not a very exciting reason.

Everyone sees her as courageous and such a fighter. But I don't. Oh—she'll fight tenaciously about protecting the Clinton name, or her place in history, or power, but she's kind of cowardly when it comes to standing up to Wall Street or big money or AIPAC. She's just another pol to me.
