MoveOn says Clinton should be nominee

64. Reality

Reality is that Bernie didn't make the cut. I'm very sad about that, because I'm not enthusiastic about Hillary, but that's the fact. She's very good at machine politics, and she's in effect been running for a lot longer than Bernie was. Maybe if he'd gotten a start a year earlier, and not had to concede the entire South to Hillary. But that's not what happened.

We'll survive Hillary (well, those of us who aren't the target of military attacks and/or renditions). We wouldn't survive Trump.

Bernie could have beaten Trump (maybe the only Repub candidate he'd have had a serious advantage over). But Hillary probably can, too. There's still hope for the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party some day. Maybe when Elizabeth Warren has a shot. If she chooses to go that route, she'll start earlier, and she won't have the potential baggage that Bernie had, and the older generation will have thinned out. I'm hoping that in my lifetime, I'll yet see a progressive in the White House. I don't want to wait another 8 years, I'll be getting pretty old by then, but that's life.

So now the time to fight Hillary is AFTER she gets elected. Let's elect enough progressive senators and congresscritters so that we can win some of those battles.
