Even though I supported Hillary Clinton in 2008, I was on the fence until February 19th. I could have gone either way, but the more I looked at Sanders' supporters - their nastiness, their outright lies about Secretary Clinton's progressive credentials, the bullying of people who didn't agree with them, the all or nothing attitude - compounded with his lack of details for his plans, his recent conversion to being a Democrat seemed a move of opportunism, saying the same thing for 40 years without evolving or adapting, no money donated to down ticket Democrats, bashing our party for years, and I couldn't support him. Ever insult hurled on social media, every hide made here, every bit of snark lacking in substance or details, every hysterical posting, the comparisons to Jesus Christ (whom I have a close relationship with but neglect to mention 99% of the time), the defense of everything the candidate does and says... Well, that's very strange to me and doesn't seem to be grounded in reality.
