Some still think that they have a chance of getting in that club and they want it in place when they finally get there.

Others, are are happy with the rung on the ladder that they've climbed and are afraid they'll be knocked off. That's a big fear.

The argument in favor of Clinton goes omething like, "Argle blurp bustooknit hwrtuious".

Palin delivers more coherent arguments.

He also says it's time for a woman president.

I am supporting Bernie but we don't argue over it. We are both very progressive Dems. He is very active in local politics which I am happy to leave to him. I prefer focusing on the national political scene. He used to work for the state government and for our local government.

And here's the thing: we never argue about Bernie versus Hillary. So it's all good!

Most Bernie supporters, at least me, know exactly why, in terms of issues, we're supporting Bernie. For me it is single payer healthcare, stronger Social Security and free tuition at state colleges.Those three things would a) help me and my family substantially, b) be better for the American people in general, and c) stimulate the economy to create millions of jobs (when you add in his opposition to the TPP, his desire for massive public infrastructure projects and his proposed raise in minimum wage to $15/hr.

Here's a great link to a study done on Sanders' single payer proposal by an economist that spells out some of these benefits.
