personally, and this may be overly cynical, i think there's a strong need to identify with victims in a portion of the population. we're a culture of victimization and we love nothing more than to back someone whose injustice we feel we can partake of. i honestly and truly believe that the most vehemently outspoken hillary supporters are more driven by their perception of her persecution-by-media than actual qualifications. it's not that they ignore the faults, it's that they don't believe in them. hillary is a victim, and they can participate in that victimization by proxy by supporting her until the bitter end.
and there you have it. my elitist view of the idiocracy of america.
