I like Hillary and I like Bernie.

But one thing I noticed. Bernie is talking about what he would like to see happen and Hillary is talking about what is likely to happen.
That is the difference to me. Hillary supporters seem grounded and see themselves as change agents. Bernie supporters seem to be helpless and drifting and hope Bernie gets in office to put some ground under their feet.
That's one reason why I support Hillary.

not one hope of implementing any of them.

'tis what it is.

Remember the ideas that Obama mentioned on the campaign trail but hasn't been able to implement?....and you see the same pro Bernie crowd bludgeoning Obama about those.

Hillary is running a strong campaign. Just as I thought answering questions from the press does not present her agenda, she should continue to meet with the citizens.
