If HRC had Bernie Sander's record of consistency on the issues and done things like:

Support Gay Marriage vs DOMA
Voted against the Iraq War vs For it.
Voted against the Patriot Act instead of for it.
Come out against TPP more than just a few weeks ago without hedging by saying 'in its current form'
Come out against Keystone immediately.
Refused to take PAC money from Wall Street and everybody else for that matter.

Then yes, yes, I would happily vote for HRC.

End of thought experiment. I feel dirty.

Thanks ED!?!
