Clinton or Sanders
February 24, 2016 at 5:26 pm
The Texas primaries are on Tuesday and so far my only criteria for choosing between these two is eemee meenee miney mo. Anybody here have something to say for or against them that I may have missed?

They are both flawed candidates. They are simply less flawed than any of the republicunt pieces of shit they will face.

I think Sanders is stronger on domestic issues, and Clinton is stronger on foreign policy issues.

Yes - that is I'll vote for whoever wins the nomination. Don't think I have anything to help you out though which you wouldn't have heard before. I'd love to see how well a Sanders presidency would go. But if Clinton wins the primary I will not have to hold my nose to vote for her. I'll do it with a big smile on my face .. just not quite as big as the one I'd be wearing while voting for the Bern.

Sanders is anti establishment. Clinton IS the establishment. 'nuff said, as far as I'm concerned.

If he can get the democratic party to really fight against the republicans, instead of bending so much, I'm sure he can get things done. The right wing has spent so much time dragging the left wing to the right, and that needs to stop. I trust Bernie to try harder than Hillary to change the system, and clean things up.

I could see Sanders getting some of his high cost programs through the congress, but there is ZERO chance congress will do ANYTHING to pay for them.
I am so disgusted with Hillary for the boneheaded crap she seems compelled to do (apparently she loves collaborating with that vast right wing conspiracy), with all her incredible talent, why the fuck cut corners and slouch through the Sec of State post ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
