Deluded hashtag Democrats cheerily joining a disturbing coalition of gay men, beer-swilling crackers and dowdy soccer moms. At least the latter two groups know that Clinton is temperamentally and philosophically a Republican.

I assume you're being partially facetious. 

But, for one thing, I resent the implication that gay men don't even need a derisive epithet attached to their identity.  Do you have a problem with gay men?  Do you think gay men are going to support Hillary Clinton because they're like superficial club-kids who are going to watch the Presidential debates while drinking wine coolers and screaming "you go girl!!!" every time Hillary opens her mouth?  Is it like too feminine and "faggy" to support a female candidate and not a "serious" Paul Tsongas/John Huntsman type?

Personally, I don't know why you think Hillary Clinton is a Republican.  Hillary Clinton has essentially the same policy views as Barack Obama.  She's qualified to be President.  She seems like a hard-working, smart, caring person.  And, she has the political base to win and cut deals in office.  So, if you want the basic Democratic Party Agenda enacted, she seems like a good candidate.  That's what I care about personally, I don't want destructive, dumb Republican policies to ruin the United States.  So, forgive me if your mental image of Hillary Clinton is associated with too many ugly Americans and fags or whatever.  If you win the Presidency in 2016, you're going to need like 70 million votes.

You read a little too much into that. My only point was to highlight the strange nature of the PUMA/#ReadyForHillary coalition, who are the only people who seem to be enthusiastic about the prospect of President Hillary Clinton as opposed to a grudging acceptance of the (supposed) inevitability thereof.
