TODAY'S THE DAY.

Come on, New York, finish this thing off.

I started out this primary season feeling a vague fondness for Bernie Sanders, while still supporting Hillary wholeheartedly. I thought he was basically a good guy who was in over his head and had some good ideas that were impossible to execute, but still, yay for trying, right?

I no longer feel those warm feelings toward Senator Sanders.

He's an angry, self-righteous ideologue and his supporters are worse. I want this OVER now. If Hillary spanks him in New York, his candidacy becomes basically non-viable (even more so than it already is) and no matter what they say, I'd be very surprised if they carry on with this dead horse much longer.

MY HOPES LIE WITH YOU, NEW YORK (and also my home state of PA). BRING US HOME.

Even used to share his posts on FB. Then, the more I dug into his record, and watched his campaiugn, the less I saw anything likeable.

Years and years in Congress, and hardly anything to show for it. He hasn't even built a coalition or working relationship with other liberals! The silence, endorsement-wise, speaks volumes. The guy is an empty suit, and I'm tired of listening to him rant. I want Hillary strong and focused on the GE. It's time.

was two post office renaming, and one rubber stamp Vets bill. Poor record of bi-partisan bill sponsorship too. Absolutely zero evidence of leadership skills. And actual incompetence on his part, chairing the Veterans committee.

I cannot see how anyone supports him, if they have done any research on what he actually DID in congress. Slipping amendments into others bills isn't leadership. It's working pretty well within the system, but that is about it.
