21. I will be very happy with Hillary as president

I won't necessarily always agree with her, but I know that she is smart and capable and understands how government works. I think she's going to surprise a lot of her detractors.

That said, I was an Obama supporter in 2008 and will always be. Yes, if he could run again, I would support him. I think he is absolutely always the smartest person in the room, and I think he and his family are very classy. I don't necessarily always like every decision he makes, but I know he's been up against a bunch of obstructionist lunatics, and I generally trust his instincts.

Bernie I would only vote for if I had no choice. I like him fine enough, but I think he's not enough of a team player to get anything done, and I'm not very comfortable with the anger I see in him.

The idea of Trump or Cruz in the White House would pretty much make we want to vote for anyone on the Dem ticket. Those two scare the living daylights out of me. The idea of one of them following Obama's presidency makes me want to vomit.
