After watching the Republicans: I am thankful for Hillary AND Bernie

Both of them, as individuals, have treated the other with respect and dignity - something that is clearly not visible on the other side of the political spectrum. I'm thankful that, regardless of whether it's Bernie or Hillary, the Democrats will be putting forth a candidate I will be PROUD to be voting for in November.

I've never seen anything like this Republican primary and I am really thankful that it's not the party or candidates I support.

There are fanatics behind every candidate; I think both Bernie and Hillary would make for a fantastic President. If these supporters are truly Democrats, however, they will support whomever is the nominee, which should lead to victory in November.

not a very good one, mind you, but he could act like he knew what he was talking about on stage.

This fustercluck can't even fake it decently. In the end, they're not even trying to act presidential.

Although I really can't stand Hillary and think she's only slightly better.

Told my husband earlier this week I think the first order of business at our next debate should be one of them asking the other if it's okay to start out with a nice friendly hug.

Truly, we ARE better.

This one is as relaxing as can be. No favorite. Like them both for different reasons. The GOP and what they've trotted out is frightening, on the other hand. We better be vigilant at all times.
