In reply to the discussion: Poll: For Sanders Supporters ONLY: What should Bernie do now? [View all]quaker bill
(8,225 posts)I am no Hillary fan, but am far less a Donald fan. I would like some good stuff in the platform and a favorable VP pick, sure, but mostly want to see Trump beaten, badly. I do not mean by 3%, I mean McGovern style beaten. Something north of 400 EV would make me smile. The entire line of thought that got the Donald nominated needs to end up in the trashbin of history. A near miss will not accomplish that, taking the Whitehouse and both houses of congress might flush this out of our system.
Hillary isn't getting this sort of thing done on her own. As even she says, she "is not a natural born politician". This is an "all hands on deck" sort of election, where Hillary needs everybody, including Bernie pulling their weight and throwing their punches.
