Fratricide

Because my instinct is to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, I have not previously bought into the "Hillary will do anything even if it destroys the party" talk. However, columns like this have nudged an evolution of my opinion in a direction that is not favorable to Mrs. Clinton.

Hillary Clinton, you sure don't make it easy.

Since 2005, I've written $7,100 worth of checks to the person I considered most qualified to be the junior senator from New York and, later, president of the United States. In February, I was elected a Clinton delegate in the neighborhood-level caucuses, and looked forward to trying to be appointed a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. . .

Sen. Clinton, I can no longer count myself in your ranks. . .

When people who have made this kind of financial and emotional investment in Hillary start defecting, it speaks volumes.
