I do now wish to insult you. I do not understand how you can listen to Hillary and Bernie but then choose to back Bernie.

Hillary's solid progressive agenda, experience, and dedication to women and children goes back decades. Bernie's does not.

I am truly confused as to why Bernie supporters are not on the Hillary bandwagon.
