I'm a Hillary supporter. Voted for her in the primaries. I didn't dislike Bernie but questioned if his support would carry over to a general election.

But I thought the Dems put themselves into a bind by planning on her being the nominee as early as 2008. I thought when she ran this time it was partly out of obligation. As a candidate she wasn't flexible enough in style to adapt to a trump- like candidate.

We need to be more open to the possibility of someone we hadn't thought about stepping up.
