(8,541 posts)"The problem with this decision is that its becoming clear that Hillary Clinton is a really bad candidate. I say that not as a Bernie Sanders supporter: my attitude toward the Democratic primary has been that just about the only relevant consideration is the question of whether Clinton or Sanders would be more likely to win the general election, given how catastrophic a GOP win would be.
Until recently, I was assuming that Clinton would be a stronger challenger to either Trump or Cruz, so I was hoping she would win out against Sanders. But Ive changed my mind about that. Clinton keeps making serious mistakes and these mistakes follow a pattern that reveal why shes making it increasingly difficult for even mildly progressive voters to support her. "
That's then thing, you don't have to be a Bernie supporter to understand that she's a very flawed candidate. Hillary had to abandon all her supposed strengths and clone Bernie's positions to even get this far.
Hopefully Bernie will make some strong gains today!
