(33 posts)First of all, Hillary will not win in the fall...she doesn't bring out the vote nor do independents vote for her. For those who are old enough to remember 1968...all of us young'uns, who weren't allowed to vote until we were 21, campaigned and worked for either Eugene McCarthy or Bobby Kennedy...and who actually got the nomination (chosen and engineered by the Dem Party)...LBJ's vp HHH. As I said, we couldn't vote yet, but lots of older young'uns who could stayed away (tune in, turn on, drop out) and we got RICHARD NIXON. And, this year, we will get the Donald or some other Republican just as scarey. Bernie is the only authentic candidate out there who is not owned by corporate America. And, btw, if you haven't read Robert Reich's post about NYT and Bernie be sure you do!
Brace yourselves, the next 4 years aren't going to be pretty.
