least almost appears sane (except f/desire FL theocracy). But I don't think we can survive 8 yrs of Repub leadership considering the past 4 months.

Comey to be brutally honest. BUT - I think Pence is just as bad - big liar. Only one I could live with might be McCain. But would rather have Ryan than Pence.

But he's acting all sanctimonious like a national Daddy all the sudden? Sorry, but I very much expect the Democratic nominee to excite me. Even if they're not naturally good at it, I expect them to be a national leader and do everything in their power to excite and lead and rally the Democratic voting base and to draw in as many independent voters as possible.

The guy who made his living by putting out a Simpsons rip off is lecturing rank-and-file liberals and progressives about their duty to shut up and line up behind the party. This is exactly the opposite of how a democracy should work.
