.... so I'm deleting my comment.
However, i will leave you with some interesting assessments from today's wapo concerning Hillary's ability to govern vs sander's .
Sanderss all-purpose argument is to call for a political revolution that will vanquish the dark interests standing between the nation and his vision. His campaign is not about governing in the real world of trade-offs and constraints. Which is to say, it is not about governing at all. It is increasingly worrying that large numbers of Democrats appear to believe otherwise.
Bernie Sanderss angry, unrealistic call for revolution http://wapo.st/1SrBsg5
On issue after issue, Clinton proposes incremental solutions that take into account our political system as it is: sharply divided along ideological lines and warped by gerrymandering and virtually unfettered campaign contributions. Sanders proposes dramatic solutions that will only be possible when power is wrested from big money interests that refuse to do what the American people want them to.
Will Democrats choose evolution or revolution? http://wapo.st/1P0LceT
Mostly, though, /Clinton is/ the classic one-eyed person in the land of the blind: Who else is there? Pray, not Bernie Sanders. If he played Capt. Renault in Casablanca, he would have said, Break up the big banks instead of Round up the usual suspects. To him, its the same thing.
Hillary Clinton, enough with your plans already http://wapo.st/1SsFKE4

OP
I disagree. Saying that is like saying Bernie wants to be the oldest President to take office.

Enough times to fully understand the job of President and be successful at it. She has a coalition

You are sadly mistaken: Hillary has a radical agenda that is far worse than "status quo"

Dear sir or madame, can you please disabuse me of the notion your premise has sexist overtones?
