I've put a lot of thought into it and I've made my decision.

I am officially supporting Bernie Sanders in the primary. Of course if Hillary gets the nomination I will gladly support her, but at this point, Bernie is the best fit for me.

P.S. I don't care if he doesn't comb his hair.

I don't get the hair problem or people who say he doesn't comb it. I have wild and crazy naturally curly, thick hair and was constantly told to comb it...it was never that kind of hair...so what's the problem? We all have to look alike? WTF! My hair has a life of it's own and I finally learned to just work with it and love it...I like Bernies hair, just the way it is!

Go Bernie! GO!

I have some qualms with some of her more conservative stances, but overall, I could still vote for her. Bernie, on the other hand, I agree with more up and down on the issues. I'm leaning strongly Bernie, but who I even vote for in the primaries is going to depend on what other states vote and decide beforehand. If it works out like it has in other elections, the most liberal candidates will be weeded out before my state even holds its primary elections. So, I will vote for whoever the early primary states leaves me to vote for, as usual. In the general election, I'm voting for whichever Democrat wins the nomination for our party, end of story, because the last thing I want to see is another Republican in the White House, especially another fucking Bush. Anything but that.

Bernie is speaking to me and for me right now. I agree if Hillary is the nominee I will support her including beating the streets for her but until then I am in Senator Sanders corner.

Living in religeonutcrazy Arizonaee my vote will probably not make any difference either in the primaries or in the general. If Sanders is still in the race when it's primary day in Arizona I will vote for him.

If Clinton is the nominee however, I'm not sure that my vote will make any difference. Arizona is still a red state even though I live in a pocket of sanity in Flagstaff (we have a democratic representative) but the bulk of the Arizona vote is in knuckle drag Phoenix which means republicans will cast our electoral votes for the puke, no matter who it is. On the other hand given the current make up of the republican clown car, perhaps there is an outside chance that a democrat could pick up those electoral votes after all. We'll see what happens.

As I see it, if Sanders is the nominee I will vote for him. If Clinton is the nominee I feel I have 3 choices; don't vote, vote for the Green party (if they make the ballot) or other third party or vote for Clinton. I get the feeling that if Clinton is the nominee and the pukes actually picks someone released from the mental health facility then there is virtually no way Clinton can win Arizonaees electoral votes.

It is so great to hear Bernie's common sense instead of non-stop platitudes.

He is awesome!
