If You Can't Say Anything Nice . . .

. . . then you're probably Donald Trump.  Or a Trump supporter.

"Yes, Dave," I hear you reply --- or at any rate, I would if anyone read this blog --- "But what about YOU? It seems like all you can do is call Trump a bully and an asshole.  Tell us something we don't already know!  Tell us something positive and uplifting!"

That's fair.  I don't want this blog to be a place where I do nothing but complain.  So instead I'll talk about Hillary Clinton.

Why should you like Hillary?  I'm glad you asked!  Hillary provides 112 Reasons (and counting!) why she should be president.  There's a lot of rhetoric, and a lot of repetition, but there are actually at least 30 good, solid ideas in there.  Here are a few of my favorites:

• She’s set another big goal: To generate enough renewable energy to power every home in America within 10 years of her taking office.
• The economy is stronger when a Democrat is in the White House.
• Hillary will defend Planned Parenthood and women’s health care from Republican attacks.
• Hillary believes that raising middle-class incomes is the defining economic challenge of our time—and she has a plan to do just that.
• Because every 4-year-old in America should be able to go to a high-quality preschool in the next 10 years.
• We need to invest in infrastructure and rebuild or expand our roads, bridges, rail, broadband, public transit, and water and energy infrastructure.
• Because we should hold corporations and individuals on Wall Street accountable—and prosecute them when they break the law.
• It’s time to end for-profit private prisons in America.
• Hillary will put a stop to Republicans’ systematic efforts to stop millions of people from voting.
• She will provide funding to make sure body cameras are available to every police department in America to increase accountability on both sides of the lens.
• She has called out the Republicans’ offensive, inflammatory anti-Muslim rhetoric because she knows it’s against our values as Americans—and our national security.

Of course, there are a lot of details to be filled in, but all of these ideas/plans/reasons at least sound (a) Like good ideas, and (b) Like plausible ideas.  Unlike Trump's plan to build a 2000-mile-long wall on the Mexican border and make Mexico pay for it.  Or any of his other plans.
