qualified and experienced for the job than Sanders.

I remember thinking that Sanders had some good progressive ideas, but would not be able to govern by them without Congressional support, which he was not going to get with his belligerent, insulting manner.

Hillary did do better than Sanders would have. She got the majority of the popular vote. Sanders would not have done that and I do not believe he would have got all the electoral votes that Hillary missed. Some, maybe, but not all.

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