As a rule, I distrust any sort of “True Believer”. Religious, political, economical, it doesn’t matter to me. I prefer pragmatists. At the start, I didn’t have a preference between Hillary or Barack. They both struck me as pragmatists.

For me the deciding factor was the ability to put a ground game together, and I KNEW that there were so manyy people who would freak the fuck out if a BLACK MAN won the nomination, and even more who would go off the deep end if he won the Presidency. I have not been disappointed.
