Bernie Sanders - Hope?

[AFTT47]

Making a point is one thing. Demonstrating your point to your own detriment is entirely another.

I believe the term you're looking for is "biting off one's nose to spite one's own face."

I can't bring myself to vote for Clinton, but I damned sure will vote against Trump. If the race is close, that means I'll punch "Hilary" on the ballot and repent at leisure. If she's winning by a comfortable margin, I'll do as I normally do and vote Libertarian -- Gary Johnson again, this year.

That's how I felt voting for Obama. I did so twice, even though I had to hold my nose to do so. It's not that I don't like and admire the man - I do - but I like a stronger person as President because it's a brutal job. The oval office isn't a place for someone who is too nice, IMO. I want someone who's heart is in the right place but who is fully capable of playing hardball when needed. That's Hillary, IMO.
