5 Reasons Why #I'mWithHer

Just in case there was any doubt that I'm with Hillary Clinton for president ...

1. She's experienced.

Hillary's been Secretary of State, a U.S. Senator, first lady of the United States and first lady of Arkansas. She knows how governing works. She has the knowledge necessary to be an effective president. As a former secretary of state, I think we could all feel very comfortable about her interactions with other countries.
In the real world outside of politics, we don't like hiring people who don't have experience related to the job they are going to be doing for us. I don't like to hire a babysitter who has never been around toddlers before. We don't hire contractors who have never renovated a house. So why is the title of political "outsider" (aka no political experience) seen as a positive quality in a person running for the most powerful position in the world?
2. She has real, substantive policy proposals with the knowledge to back them up.
Her policy proposals are detailed and realistic. She has a large amount of knowledge on a wide range of issues. No one running for president on either side during this election has been able to match her in this area. (Check this out and laugh when you compare the two.)
3. She's a pragmatist.
Hillary isn't especially inspiring. She's not sexy. But she is practical. Related to points one and two above, she knows how things work, and she's focused on solutions. She's willing to reach across the aisle, compromise, and work with Republicans in order to make things happen. This is one of the things that Hillary gets criticized for the most by Bernie supporters, but it's one of the things I like most about her.
Bernie's impracticality is the reason I've chosen Hillary. Check out this quote from Michael Tomasky at The Daily Beast comparing the two:

"What Sanders does is that he stakes out moral positions that are laudable abstract goals. But I've been shocked sometimes by how little thought he seems to have given to how to get to these goals...Now, to Clinton. What she offers are solutions."

4. She cares about the rights of women and children.
Hillary has been a lifelong supporter of women's rights. (Perhaps not surprising as she is a woman herself.) In 1995, during a speech at the United Nations Fourth World Congress on Women, she famously said "Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights." Her main proposals as a presidential candidate related to women's issues are ensuring equal pay for women and fighting for paid family leave and affordable child care.
One of Hillary's consistent priorities throughout her career has been early childhood education, particularly for poor children. All the way back as First Lady of Arkansas, she introduced a home visiting Family Literacy program for the parents of young children called Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters. As a senator, she called for increased funding to states to establish free pre-k programs for low-income and limited-English proficient children. One of her highest-profile presidential proposals is to create universal, free pre-k for 4-year olds.
5. She will preserve the legacy of the Obama administration.
I don't understand at all how people complain about how Obama has been the "worst president in history."  Really? REALLY?? Let's look at some facts, shall we? As of January 2016, unemployment in the U.S. is down to 5%, the lowest it's been in seven years. Obama's job approval rating is currently at 50%. He has run "an amazingly scandal-free administration" during his time in office. Osama Bin Laden is dead. We are no longer involved in the war in Iraq.
Through the Affordable Care Act, 18 million Americans have health insurance now who didn't before. This has affected my family personally--when Jonathan was unemployed last year and couldn't be added to my health insurance, he was able to get affordable health insurance through the ACA. And because I work at a small non-profit now, we purchase our own health insurance and get partially reimbursed for my individual coverage. I'm not sure if we would have been able to afford that without the ACA.
So when Hillary says she is going to defend President Obama's accomplishments and build upon them, that means something to me. I think we've seen a lot of good things happen in the last eight years, and for the country to continue to go in the right direction the new President will need to build on that positive momentum, not tear it down.
Also, one last thing: There is no conceivable reality in which I would vote for Donald Trump for President. 
So there's that.
