Agree or disagree: time for us here in the HRC group to follow Clinton's lead and pivot to the GE

5. I agree.

It is clear that Sanders and his supporters are more concerned with attacking the Democratic party than they are with the Republicans. I know that the Democratic party is more mature than that. The last time some people didn't care about beating the Republicans, but instead focused on purity tests and voting out of spite, we got Bush and all the world suffered for it. Obama has used the last 8 years to rebuild the country, and he has managed a fragile progress. Now we need to make sure that Trump doesn't get elected by angry voters who'd cut off their noses to spite their faces.

So, lets start focusing on teaching independents the positive sides of Clinton - we are experts there, after all, and also contrasting her experience, her stateswomanship, her ability to focus under fire with Trump's petulant, self-interested, boorish lack of substance.
