On his worse day, Bernie is way better than Hilary Clinton

Triangulation. It is the famous tactic used an associated with the Clintons. They are "Masters of Triangulation and Manipulation." Reminder: Here is what Obama said about Hillary's ambition: Not exactly the kind of president we need. Clinton is constantly shifting, dodging and changing positions to satisfy the politics of the moment." (2008 Obama Team memo)

Hillary may have the experience to be president but lacks responsible judgment and common sense when making decisions. Poor decisions and judgment have serious consequences. For me, character trumps experience. Hillary is too slippery. She brings baggage to the campaign and I am concerned how she will stand up in the general election if she is our nominee.

On his worst day, Bernie Sanders is better than Hillary Clinton to be our president.

while yelling about how bad those hard-right positions are, blaming the liberal factions for them when they pass, and both chasing the GOP rightwards and encouraging that rightward swing

Goldwater or no, Clintonism defines itself as the leftmost policy that's really possible, allowing no leverage from anywhere further left
