My Choice for President

"SNIP............


I like Bernie’s ideas (and share his outrage), and I like Hillary’s experience.


What I don’t like is the passionate denunciation of one or the other of them, by them or by their partisans.


The overwhelming majority of denunciations are directed at Hillary. Some of our readers are as vicious towards her as Donald Trump is. If you read the comments, you would think that Donald Trump is much to be preferred over Hillary because she is allegedly dishonest, corrupt, a war-monger, a tool of Wall Street, etc. The demonization of Hillary is often times over-the-top, angry, and hateful.


This internecine warfare is not admirable. It should stop. It helps Trump. One candidate will emerge from the Democratic convention in Philadelphia. It will be the candidate who gets the requisite number of delegates. It will be either Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. When the convention chooses the candidate, I will support that candidate.


I will not sit home. I will not vote for a third party candidate. I will not write in the name of someone else. That is irresponsible. Throwing your vote away is a vote for Donald Trump.

1. "This internecine warfare is not admirable.

It should stop." Couldn't agree more.

Regardless of whether or not it may help Trump (I can't really tell whether it does or doesn't) I think it's sad that so many of our friends and allies don't understand Clinton's liberal record as a Senator of New York, or the liberal policies she's proposing now.

Hope you're enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend.
