May 2016

I liked Bernie at one time. As I have stated I voted for him in Ohio.I kind of liked the pushing the party left idea. I knew Bernie would not win Ohio even though it is an open primary. But now after he has lost the primary and refuses to concede...no. I am done with Bernie. I can't stand him. Should he manage to steal the primary which is the only way he could win...IE has fewer delegates than Hillary...I would not vote. He would lose anyway so I don't have to vote for a cheater and overall bad person. I don't vote for people who are selected rather than elected. The only way Bernie would get my vote is to win the delegates. At that point, I would hold my nose and vote for him. In my opinion, he has no shot of winning the GE after the swiftboating coming his way, but if he had the most delegates, I would do my part to stop the horror of a Trump presidency. If he overturned the will of the voters...never.
