Answer for Bernie Supporters, from a Clinton Supporter

[JDPriestly]

9. Thank you for your excellent post.

The only answers I have had from Hillary supporters boil down to she is experienced. Well she is, but not as experienced as Bernie. Hillary's experience is a few years in Congress.

Bernie was the mayor of a city -- executive experience -- and a member of Congress since 1992. He has far more experience than Hillary and knows the members of Congress very well.

The other answer I get from Hillary supporters is that she is a woman. I'm a woman. That does not qualify me to be president. It also doesn't mean I would be a good president. In other words, I would love to see a woman become president before I die. But I am chastened by the memory of Maggie Thatcher. I cannot vote for someone just because or primarily because she is a woman. That is not enough.

Hilary's dependency on the money of the oligarchs disqualifies her in my view. We simply cannot afford a president who relies on very wealthy people for her campaign financing. One superpac is not the same as all others. The nurses superpac consists of money from working people -- namely and mostly nurses. I respect them. They earn their money. I have met some of these hardworking Bernie supporters who are nurses. They are mostly but not all women. They know why they support Bernie. I love them. They are an inspiration. Somehow I just don't find much inspiration from the thought of campaign donations from Goldman Sachs or George Soros. I'm sure they are nice people. And George Soros has done a lot to promote democracy in other countries. But his generosity to Hillary is, in my view, misplaced.

Thank God for Bernie Sanders.

He is my hero. He is talking about the damage that these trade agreements do to our economy. He is talking about the unlivably low wages so many Americans are earning today. He is being creative about how to make sure we can continue to have a just society, a society that is economically viable for our citizens. Hillary has no clue as to how hard it is for people today.,

And the Republicans are living in a cocoon of their own imaginations.

Bernie it is. There really isn't any alternative for ordinary, working people.

Thank God for Bernie Sanders.
