Let it be said I'm not solid on Hillary Clinton at this point and I hope Sanders runs (and may back off of defending Hillary so much; just dislike the undeserved hate). Warren would actually be even more amazing, but I don't see that happening.

I just refuse to bash Democrats because we need them, my mom needs them, even if she's conservative on a lot of issues. And we won't win unless the Democratic candidate embraces Obama's policies (which HRC is doing so far).

Obama has laid the foundation for health care (ACA) and foreign policy (Iran, Cuba) and even arguably economics (Dodd-Frank) for the next few decades. I consider him a great President and I know historians will as well. The pundits are just out of touch. So out of touch.
