Now that Scalia is gone..you have nowhere to go but Hillary...

The New Dem/ Third Way will be channeling Chicken Little for the umpteenth time in the past few decades.
The sky is falling, to save the Supreme Court you must support the establishment and Hillary. They will do their best to threaten us to herd us into line. Time for the lesser of evils..how dare you stand up for your beliefs and support a democratic socialist..

Well not this time.. Time to get the wallet out for Bernie! I am going with the one that walks the walk...and doesn't just talk the talk for the primaries...

Not this time...

Luckily for me, he is also the one known for his honesty rather than the opposite, has a record of not changing views so often you need a scorecard to keep up with it (quite the opposite in fact).

I'd rather go with the one most likely via polls to win the GE and also has a much higher favorability rating than unfavorability rating rather than the one whose unfavorables on the other hand are well above 50% already and climbing.

I would rather go with the guy that will have record turn out providing coattails for other Dems rather than Hillary that will have a tepid Dem turnout but will by golly bring Republicans out in droves due to pure generation hatred of her (justified or not, it is true) the Republicans don't need the coattails that Hillary will provide them.

So I guess I must respectfully decline the Third Ways advice and disappoint DWS because quite frankly, I want the Democratic party to win the white house. I truly apologize to those whose corporate positions or donations my choice may damage in any way, I know how hard it must be to have most of all the money, but be denied the chance to have it all and finally win their little game of monopoly.
