Unless we get enough votes to take back the Senate and the House,

will it really matter whether it's Hillary or Bernie in the WH?

The issue of republican obstruction remains.

of consequence if the Senate continues to be moribund and won't hold hearings for at least four more years or whenever democrats have a filibuster majority.

that is why I think it would be better to face Trump than Cruz.

I believe more Republicans will stay homw and not vote for Trump, helping us on the other races.

to the bottom 90%.

You might be asking, "Will either candidate get anything accomplished in the next 4 years?"
