1. Howard Dean also said...

That this primary was a choice between a visionary (Bernie) and a Pragmatist (Hillary), and that he was supporting the Pragmatist. I was a Deaniac, but I'm going with the Visionary.

2. But why can't we just vote for a caretaker POTUS?

Fer golly, it's her turn.

3. She is NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING PROGRESSIVE. She's RW Third Way and would

fit comfortably in the Repub Party.


She's not going to get away with calling herself Progressive. That's just pure bullshit.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE
