We are all able to see exactly what we wish to see in a presidential candidate.

In a quote like this: "Democratic environmental values are more closely representative of my own."

I see: The dams were built by Democrats, the NW states have long been controlled by Democrats, the local loggers and commercial netters are represented and protected by Democrats, the US House and Senate have been controlled by Democrats until very recently.....

And yet, the Republicans are the cause of all environmental destruction and the Democrats the source of all conservation efforts.....Hogwash!

We all see it as we wish to. Rose-colored glasses!
