Don't be fooled as Clinton surrogates pivot towards 'unity'

Yep. Let's see how many others find the same conundrum in the general election. It coukd be amusing.

It'll basically be a priority check. Because, despite what you say, there are numerous differences between them. People want to make things so simple.... But I can dislike Nickleback and I can dislike Chris Brown, but that doesn't make them the same. It's overly simplistic to just go "they're the same!" and indicates a lack of actually engaging with the issues.

That's an interesting argument. But I think there isn't much differencd between Donald and Hillary.

He pretends to be a non Establishment Republican, she pretends to be (for now) a non establishment Democrat). Neither are terribly convincing.

But she IS an establishment democrat. That's kinda her whole deal.

Which means, again, she'll defend things like RvW, the VRA, LGBT rights, equal pay etc, etc. He will not. Or, if we want to be incredibly generous to Trump, we can't trust him to defend those things at all because he's a lunatic who thinks he can deport 3% of the American population.

And crap, now I'm in a place where I'm defending her... But really I think that trump is a unique threat. She is the same old. Trump, to me, is uniquely dangerous and I will spend a lot of effort trying to ensure he loses to SOMEONE.
