I've been saying all along that I will vote for whomever is best primed to beat the Republicans at primary time. But I am right now officially changing my stance. I am for Hillary.
It isn't because of any of the DU infighting, of course. DU has nothing to do with the real world.
It is because I think she's the candidate who will be able to actually do things given the way the government is structured right now, and the things she wants to do are things I want to see done.
I like Bernie. I really do. I think he is making a major contribution and pushing the party left, and that is a good thing. I just don't think he would be able to materialize many of the great things he is advocating. That's based on his past record and an examination of what details of his plans that he has made public.
I don't like the nastiness of Bernie's supporters. That is not in any way a major part of my decision, but I do think his supporters would be a significant liability for Bernie if he did become the candidate. (Can you see it now?: "I reject your vote for Bernie because you are not one of the elect who supported him from the beginning! You do not agree with every last thing he says, so we are kicking you off the island!"
Not sure why I am putting this into this thread. But I feel like I should say it out loud and be official.
Another benefit of this is that I get to stand shoulder to shoulder with William769!
