As a lifelong socialist, my preference would be for the Bern, but Hil has the better chance of defeating whomever the GOPs run, at least that was my reasoning.

Since I bailed out on the Republican party this year, I don't get to vote until November. I will likely just vote for whoever the Dems come up with, at this point.

Hope you vote for Tammy Duckworth for Senator in Illinois.

The Wyoming, Illinois city cemetery is loaded with Duckworths, including some relatives of mine.

Nope. Her Father was a Duckworth.

He probably has buddies in the Police.

I dare say it would play right in to his hands anyway.

I respect your opinion, but that's why Bernie Sanders is not getting more support. If your true preference is Bernie, vote for him in the primary.

A Clinton-Sanders ticket would be a BIG vote-getter and likely to beat any combination that the GOP could muster. That is, of course, barring any scandal or unforeseen problem that might arise.

With the possible exception of Kasich, whose name I probably misspelled, the GOP hopefuls are not very attractive to the general public, the "unwashed masses" if you'll pardon the expression.

It's all about the vote count.

This election, all bets are off. The anti-establishment crowd is running amok on both ends of the spectrum. It is starting to look like Bernie or the Donald will be the choice.

The DNC is not going to be able to control this, any better than the Republican committee.

It's gonna be a bumpy ride.
