With respect to you Bernie fans, if your candidate loses and Hillary gets the Democratic Party nomination, the Repugs are going to have a much harder time using their "Clintons are crooked" meme if their golden Cheese-headed boy is grubby around the edges.

A mental exercise for stimulating the imagination and happy thoughts of schadenfreude: Let us pretend in some alternate universe, Scott Walker was a Democrat. Can you imagine what the right-wing political and propaganda machine would already be doing to him this far out from the Republican national convention?

This is a serious time for ourselves and the world and we need thoughtful leadership. I don't think the oligarchs care about very much beyond the bottom line and their profits.

If Hillary loses the Democratic nomination, I will do what I did seven years ago and fall into line behind the Democratic nominee. No Naderite third-party, no PUMA BS, I will support my party's candidate.
