George Lakoff on Hillary Clinton

...Hillary Clinton also has deep progressive values. But she is a pragmatist who assumes we may not get all we want in this political climate and believes she can maximize what we can get. That is a credible sensibility I also respect. She is brilliant, impressive, and has an enormous range of practical experience.

"I’ve known Hillary Clinton since she was 19 years old, and have nothing but respect for her. In my view, she’s the most qualified candidate for president of the political system we now have.

But Bernie Sanders is the most qualified candidate to create the political system we should have, because he’s leading a political movement for change."
