It would probably take years of Freudian analysis to unravel why I have waited this long to declare my support for Hillary Rodham Clinton for President in 2016. Maybe I don't want to acknowledge how much alike we are so I don't have to own up to the baggage in my life. She certainly has more baggage, but she has been in the spotlight so much more.
Whatever my hang-ups, I will vote for her in the Florida Presidential Primary next month, and I will work hard in support of her election. The way I see it, our basic values overlap almost perfectly. Has she made choices that I would not have made? Maybe I have played it too safe.
Is she a pragmatist? That is essential for getting things done in today's world. She has learned a lot since her healthcare reform fiasco when Bill was President.
One thing is certain: she can take a lot of punishment and come up ready for the next fight.
