First of all the Daily Kos reminds me every other day that I should write a dairy. They are beginning to be annoying about it, but now I will write my albeit short diary.
I live in New Hampshire. I have 5 registered voters living with me in New Hampshire. I can not wait to vote in the primary in 6 months and vote for Hillary Clinton. Some of you Kossites are really scaring me. Why?? Why are you thinking of punting away a VERY WINNABLE election by electing a Socialist from Vermont? Now, I would say I like Bernie Sanders. I love Bernie Sanders. He is the most authentic politician in the field. But I have a tremendous lack of confidence you can take a old ... white .. Socialist ... man and win the White House.
I can't wait to go to a Bernie rally... applaud loudly, shake his hand. But in the ballot box I intend to vote for Hillary. I desperately want to keep the White House. Get a few more seats on the Supreme Court and not have to sweat out the decisions. Lock in ACA, so that it stays in place. As Repugs will either control Congress or be close enough that no major legislation will get thru, the Bernie' agenda would have virtually no chance of passing if he pulled the upset and got elected.
How small is Vermont? Well you know what a small population is in NH, correct? Well, NH is double the population of the Vermont hamlet. Easy to be authentic when your state is so small.
I am so glad my votes count 100x of some of yours, because there is no way I am going to push away an extremely competent YOUNGER woman and to make gender history to just repeat the Republican pattern of choosing an old white guy.
