Oh, you're going to sit this one out if HRC is the nominee? Or going to vote for a third-party candidate?

Fine, you have that right.

And I have the right to call you a shortsighted fool.

I don't care who the Dem nominee is. I care about WINNING.

And I will vote for the Dem nominee come hell or high water so that the Republicans, who are holding on to the USSC by the old, white skin of their teeth and doing immeasurable damage, will not be able to keep their dark cloud over my children's future.
