11. I always hoped it would go down differently.

I hoped the Republican Party would go the way of the Whigs and that the Democratic Party, after a period of hegemony, would split. I would then be a member of the more liberal party, no mater which one kept the Democratic Party label.

If the Bernie supporters are right, they're right. We shall see what we see, but, to me, it doesn't look like the revolution has gotten started quite yet.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
