unfortunately I don't see either one being sleazy enough or willing to lick the behinds of the special interests, including corporations, to get the donations and support to win. In fact their policies are anathema to money interests.

I will vote for HC if she gets the nomination but we can expect more of the same - more corporatism, more outsourcing of American jobs and giveaways to corporations. She will do a much better job than any R candidate in terms of social issues but I don't see much daylight between her and the Rs on jobs.

That's where BS and EW are the best.
