Hello HRC group.

I took a hiatus from DU for awhile. I'm done thinking about this and decided that "I'm with her". Honestly it wasn't that hard a decision because unlike a lot of his groupies I knew Sanders from the Lunch with Bernie series on the TH show and I was never a big fan. I always thought how nice it must be to caucus with the Dems and then be able to throw up your hands when things get tough and say, "don't look at me, I'm not a Democrat!" I gave him a chance though but nope, in my opinion he's not the better choice.

I'm donating $ today and on a monthly basis until the election. She can win this. Sanders can't. He'd get clobbered by the GOP on every level and he'll fold.

The primaries from here on out look good for HRC in NY, Conn, Maryland, Penn, Calif, NJ.

You look like a fine bunch of hospitable people. I hope I am welcome here in the HRC.

Total cop out. Trying to have his cake and gooble it down, too.

And, just like you, I was never impressed by his haranguing, self-righteous rants on "Brunch With Bernie".

Great group of folks here. They talk me off the bridge periodically when I get too stressed out with all the noise.

And welcome. You're right; she can win this.

Just an aside: I was drinking in my favorite bar tonight, and the bartender said in the course of conversation that she's voting for Hillary "because she's a gangster! She'll kill 'em! She'll get it done!" I wouldn't go THAT far, but as president she can and will push things through with a combination of diplomacy and pushing hard.

I can't wait until the primaries are over. If either Trump or Cruz is the Republican nominee, she'll stuff him into a blender and set it on "puree."
