What derailed him for me personally was (not in any particular order)
1. Debates/town halls no real plan no answer
2. Revolution?
3. Supporters attitudes towards HRC & HRC supporters/surrogates/endorsers/voters (made me double down)
4. BS dog whistles about HRC (again made me double down)
5. I have been on HRC's camp since 2008
6. HRC is amazing and qualified and more than ready from day 1.
