23. Bottom line

May 2016

If the Dems want people to vote Blue no matter Who, then they had better produce a nominee who is not tied into Goldman Sacs, does not have a history of foreign policy blunders (Iraq and Libya), does not have a history of flip flopping and pandering, and is actually a candidate people can get behind in a big way.
Sorry but, this argument that people should vote against their own principles and self interest just because there is a big scary Trump out there, does not wash.
Trump can be big and scary, but if he doesn't have Congress and the Senate behind him, he'll be mostly bluster.

No, I'm not saying I would vote Trump, but it doesn't mean I would vote Clinton.
