Support (tr. verb) – To provide monetary assistance to a political campaign under the guise that it represents a shared commitment to the candidate’s policies, when in fact, it is simply an investment for political favors. Senator Hillary Clinton has received widespread support from large and small donors in favor of her campaign for the Democratic nomination.

Uniting (adj) – Way to describe someone whose personality and policies are agreeable enough for widespread plurality of the population to coalesce around that person. Hillary Clinton is not a uniting candidate; enough people hate her guts to predict another evenly-split general election.

Bill Clinton (noun) – Forty-second president of the United States. Plays saxophone, writes books, enjoys the ladies. Pundits speculate on the impact that Bill Clinton would play in a Hillary Clinton White House, questioning if a vote for her would actually be a vote for him.
