If Bernie is our nominee, I will eagerly and enthusiastically support him. AND I WILL vote for him. Unless it's Hillary. Then I WILL vote for her. Eagerly and enthusiastically.

Our absolute WORST Democrat is still LIGHTYEARS better than the so-called "best" the other side's got. And remember - it's not just them, it's WHO THEY BRING IN WITH THEM. Remember that! jeb bush will be bringing in paul wolfowitz sitting on one shoulder, and his lame-ass war-criminal brother sitting on his other shoulder. And rand paul will bring all the flakes and dingdongs of his father's orbit, AND his flake dingdong dad in with him. He'd probably figure, like dubya did, that HE can avenge his dad's defeats. "Well, daddy, you didn't go all the way. I'M gonna try it and I'M gonna make it work (and show both you and Mom HOW IT'S DONE at the same time)."
