Policy.

Why would Bernie voters have any reason to believe anything she said? Seriously. peacebird Mar 2016 #55

That might depend, in part, on Bernie's attitude if Hillary is the nominee. Arkansas Granny Mar 2016 #26

I tried to explain in the OP why 2016 is very different from 2016. merrily Mar 2016 #27
