If Sanders doesn't win the nomination (and I say he might not), then there are no coattails, just a poisoned well and possibly an evangelical, anti-choice, gay-bashing, science-denying, GOP president with a unified GOP congress to approve his dogmatic judicial and administrative appointees and cheer him on while tears up the agreement with Iran, rolls back progress on our relationship with Cuba, kills the Affordable Care Act with a thousand cuts, and who knows what else.
So I won't join you, or anyone else, in perpetuating a damaging and unnecessary slur against the person who just might be the Democratic nominee.
For all her faults and conservative tendencies, she's secular, fiercely pro-choice, pro-science, modestly pro-environment, would appoint some moderately liberal judges to the federal bench, would most likely honor the agreement with Iran and continue rapprochement with Cuba, and she ostensibly believes in the need for functioning government institutions.
