24. The problem is there really isn't a good replacement right now

At least none besides Bernie who are working to get the message out right now. Maybe this is because HRC is standing in the way, and maybe it's not.

I'd like to see HRC use her fundraising abilities and PAC to get behind someone who has potential. I don't want to see her ride off into the sunset, but neither do I want her to continue to be the face of the party. It's time for her to move into more of a backseat role. She is part of the past and someone else needs to be the future.
