Even if she wins the nomination, it will still be "Anyone But" or "Someone Else."

does. She comes with a lot of baggage and a long history of negative followers out to step on her every move. And you really can't be sure if negative comments come from who they say they come from. Sticking to the issues often involves motivation and character. Both candidates must get weary. I've known one for years and he has always been honest, sincere and dedicated. He never wanted to be a multimillionaire caring more deeply about the issues and the disappearance of the middle class and the increase of poverty. He has made Hillary and the entire democratic party move to become more like him. We ahve 2 good candidates. I just trust one to be more steadfast and consistent.

bail-out. Unfortunately he's not so perfect.

She's experienced, knowledgeable, has the temperament, and the perseverance to be the best POTUS.

Hillary won the night in spite of all the cross-over votes in Michigan.

It's interesting that you point this out. I've noticed that Clinton regularly congratulates Sanders on his victories in her post-primary speeches. She didn't last night, because MI hadn't been called when she spoke. I don't think he does that as much, but I might be mistaken. He might not, to avoid a loud and unseemly round of boos from his supporters, which is unfortunate.

I'm not going to get bent out of shape if they don't tweet each other with kudos after every state, however. They've both got bigger things to worry about. Several people here congratulated Sanders on his win last night, and have been civil and self-examining about the loss. I'd like to see a lot more civility between supporters, because we're all working for the same things ultimately, even if we disagree about the details or who best can achieve them.

When his movie about Flint was filmed four years before Clinton was even elected (movie filmed in 1988, released in 1989). It was dishonest, and he allowed the meme to stand. His supporters ate it up.

Sometimes he's right on target, other times he's a fucking schitzo.
