If I tell you a pear is an apple does that make it true?

29. I'd like to add a few things too:

President Obama is a progressive. In my opinion he's the best progressive President in the history of the United States.

Hillary Clinton is a progressive and is very popular among progressives.

Martin O'Malley is a progressive and his policy proposals, which are in writing at his web site, are more progressive than Hillary Clinton's on some matters, and more progressive than Bernie Sanders' on some matter too.

Bernie Sanders is a progressive, to the left on economic matters of Clinton. He's a democratic socialist, not a Socialist with a capital S.

Even Bernie Sanders, who in his stated positions on economic matters is to the left of Hillary Clinton, is probably in the mainstream of liberal thought in Western Europe.

Some people will be voting in the primaries not just on a candidate's stated positions. They also may be voting on how much they think that person can accomplish for progressive causes. That is okay.

I'm still undecided. I think all three of these candidates would make an outstanding President, especially with a much more liberal Congress.
