Hillary can say whatever she wants now

Contrary to what Christian Schneider writes in his column, “Time for Democrats to dump Hillary,” what Hillary Clinton said in India represents the views of mainstream Democrats. Clinton clobbered President Trump by 3 million votes. If the U.S. was a true democracy, Clinton would be president. Trump was appointed president by the unelected Electoral College.

Trump and his supporters represent America at its worst. They truly are de- plorable. The only Democrats who oppose Clinton are Democrats like apparently newly elected Conor Lamb of Pennsylvania, Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota who come from conservative areas that supported Trump. Clinton is a brilliant and well-informed woman who adds to the dialogue when she expresses her well-informed opinions. I want to hear what she has to say, and she should not shut up and go away.
