49. I'm rather a large fan of the progressive Democrat Hillary Clinton myself.

It saddens me that our nation missed a great opportunity.

Bass is a loyal Democratic and a progressive in a similar mode to HRC, and you rightfully point out who Bass endorsed for president.

She is the type of candidate who has earned my support.

I will admit I had apprehensions that Caruso's media blitz might lead to a win (over 50%) in the primary.

But when Bass has the opportunity to counter message in the General, I think she will prevail. This was Caruso's big opportunity. And it looks like he's coming up short.

We have work to do.
