I personally feel both of our declared candidates are great candidates. [View all]

I believe either will be able to represent democratic values well in the general election.
I do not look on either as an enemy. Our enemy is the crazy Republican Party and their values that favor money (money, money) over people.
I am not going to engage in trashing our candidates or do anything that will give the likes of Brother JEB or Koch head Walker or for gawd's sake the crazy from Kentucky anything that can be used against our eventual nominee.

Some may think one or the other of our candidates are odious. Before you come to that conclusion, please, please think of the possibility of another Bush or perhaps the oligarchs having a direct puppet in the White House.

Hillary Clinton is not the enemy. Bernie Sanders is not the enemy. For that matter, neither are Martin O'Malley or Jim Webb. Our enemy and in my view, America's enemies lie in the Republican Party and what they stand for.

There, I got it out.
