A lot of us have felt let down on a few issues and the "professional left" was thrown under the bus right away. It's hard to believe what anyone says after that. Some have regained hope because of Bernie. I have.

have realized the limited power of the Presidential office. Sure, they can set the tone for what they've campaigned on, but lawmaking comes from the members of Congress, and there's only so much a President can do to influence those folks.
The days of arm twisting and evening cocktails with the loyal opposition ended many years ago. Until we get a Congress that believes in Country first, things will remain as they are now, and whoever the President is, he or she will spend their time in office railing for things that others will gleefully block, kill or tie up till it's dead....just for sport and attention.

Sorry for the pessimism, but I've seen it both ways. America is in a very dark place at this time.

And so considering Hillary as president, I don't see any change in that situation. That's another reason I can't support her.

But if Bernie gets elected, it will be from a Tsunami wave of support of hard charging workers like me. Give us a chance with a leader we can all get behind, like Bernie, and the congress will have no choice but to do or die.

In fact, given the outcome of the vote counts it is a fact that a leader, such as we would have with Bernie, the coattails will be so long as to carry our congress into a democratic majority.

And I certainly won't try to change that, but I've seen this movie already and the cure is not based on one person. As long as the American public remains enthralled and captives of the 1% the only change will be for the worse. This country has taken on a pre civil war attitude and that can't change until the people themselves want it to.

And btw, I like Bernie a lot, and have great respect for Mrs. Clinton, but I don't see either of them as what's needed at this time in our history.

him because he knows without a congress on our side, we will have trouble. He has already said so. We are the change. All of us.

Having witnessed politics for 30 years, and having never seen anything like Bernie and the wave of support he has encouraged, the reality is we are going to change the course of this country. Really.

a Senator and she voted for WAR. That is the last time I thought she was on the side of the people.

When she ran in 2008, I supported Obama. We do not need any more War Hawks in the WH.

She supported one of the worst presidents EVER when she cast that vote and hedged a question on torture, something I will never forget or forgive. Why? Who was she worried about when she voted for Bush's authority to declare war? It surely could not have been the Dem base who were frantically trying to STOP the War criminals from committing that massive crime?

And on torture, who was she trying to impress when she said that under some circumstances she might condone it if elected? The Dem base? I don't think so.

She was not obviously concerned about what we thought, she was trying to impress those who have been pulling the strings of this government for far too long.

And if she could not say 'no' to the AUMF or make a difinitive statement 'No, I do NOT condone torture, torture is an International Crime' as a mere candidate, then how on earth can we trust her with the awesome powers of the presidency?

signs of entitlement in everything she does. The platitudes and poetry don't cover up her actions as a Senator, Secretary of state, and I doubt would improve as a President .

That's "HUGE" problem about her.
She took eons to admit she screwed up with the emails.
Meanwhile it's drip-drip-drip in the news every day.
That's why people don't trust her.

Just more of the same crap from establishment candidates.

but allegiance to your cause carries a $price$. All you need to do is be a high roller who can pony up the necessary cash. Political favors don't come free.

….and yet, if it comes down to it, it's one another time of having to vote against the worse horror—a Republican President and a Republican Supreme Court.

So if I have to vote for Clinton, it will be about the Court.

Please remember that.

The problem is that if she's the candidate, I don't know how I'll make calls for her, knock on doors, volunteer, attend rallies and in general argue for her.

If Debbie Wasserman Schultz prevents the usual number of debates and the Dems again squeeze out the base—the Party won't recover.

Please think before you vote.

Not being excited about the same old same old is not the same as voting R or refusing to vote at all.

Ugh.

She is for representing the corporations.

“found how Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me.”

Hillary Clinton.

It is not just the Congress which needs to be changed
for any democratic POTUS. The powers of the MIC, CIA,
NSA and their profiting corporations are an almost
unsurmountable problem, which most voters don't
understand.

If the people stand up for several years, and manage
to change the Congress we may see a little bit of
progress, but the "yoooge" powers will still rule the
POTUS.

Still, I am willing to fight for Bernie in spite of
the odds.

Bernie is just the leg up we need. His election will inspire many more like him to jump in and run for offices. Indeed, the odds are not good, but with Bernie in office the odds are much better. I don't see the odds changing with Hillary.

would have no chance against a real Democrat like Bernie.

I would love to vote for a female candidate but unfortunately Hillary Clinton does not stand for traditional female interests, like Peace over War. Her vote for the Iraq War proves to me that she is not what I would call a real woman. She was acting like a man with that vote and she sounds like way too tough and way too war like. Sad.

For it.

... he's the "real Obama". (The real Obama rarely showed up.)

Bernie is overtaking her one state at a time so pretty soon she will not be your party's leading candidate.

Oh yeah.

Which one you want, trump vs Hilary. I will take Hilary every frigging day, it is that simple!

On the other hand, if Mr. Sanders is gaining ground, I would prefer him. Put this in your pipe and smoke it, VP Biden is not running!

So you either vote for Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Sanders but please do not let a Republican get elected!

and withhold support and votes for those who do not.

For myself the choice is black and white, no gray area at all....If Bernie does not win the 1% win and the 99% lose, period end of story.

Money: Money never changes. To get it you have to pursue it, to pursue it you have to be "worthy" of it. It's a great racket that's been inflicted on us. Anyone wanting to get elected has to kneel down and pray for the "free speech" to rain down on them by the millions. To be President, you need billions of those free speech drops to rain down on you.

We need a game changer. And having found one, we should really consider doing what we can to elect that person. To me, this is a big part of what this election is about.

I would imagine that Bernie wishes Hillary was more attuned to the People, then he wouldn't have to do what he is doing. Instead he could just sit back and enjoy himself. As it is, he sees the void in the leadership and so he patriotically steps in to fill that void.
