Borstalboy,
This election reminds me of the JVC VHS vs Sony Betamax videotape format war that consumers were locked into 40 years ago. Betamax yielded a better picture quality that pleased broadcasters and was the toast of European and Asia'n up-market consumers. Initially, Sony refused to compromise on video quality a technical requirement to surpass the 60-minute recording time threshold. JVC's VHS tape yielded the longest recording time ultimately gaining the support of American football fans. The rest is history.
To me, both Hillary and Bernie are politicos in every sense of the word. There's nothing shocking about such a statement as it relates to her. But, the moment he elected to run as a Democrat seeking the office of POTUS, he lost whatever moral high ground he had claimed over the field. There are simply too many quotes out there in the ethers of him berating the Democratic party. And then there's his record of running against them to win lower offices as well as contravening their will on key legislation. To some, party loyalty ranks right up there with idealogical purity. As an outsider, my immediate interest is which of the two convinces me that they'll lead the team to victory over the GOP up-and-down ballot and who'll hit the ground running after taking the oath of office. That would be Hillary.
#FactsMatter...your feelings not so much.
