He's not getting my vote because I can see a ton of bullshit that I've heard for decades...
It's not even about the "1st woman" at this point...it's about toughness against the GOP, common sense,
and wide and deep experience...It's the realization that we are in a fight to win STABILIZATION against the onslaught of right wing
degradation of our progress....it's not about huge revolution, it's about trying to keep what we've won and trying to recapture what we've lost...

Malcolm Gladwell was on Bloomberg's Studio 1.0 today....the had a few quotes in a non-political context that do apply to the way I feel about things re: the campaign...

""If you hold onto things you believed 15 years ago, then you're a joke, you're a fossil"....
"You have have a responsibility as a thinking person to re-visit the things you have thought...otherwise, you are not a thinking person."

Malcolm Gladwell
