Bernie comes off as a genuine human being who really means what he says

Hillary comes off as a typical politician who will say anything to get elected. She seems to wait to see which way the wind blows to take a position, and even then it is not a firm position.

Even last night at the CNN town hall, she seems to have been told by her handlers to mind the volume of her voice and sounded a whole lot quieter than her normal tone of speech. She just does anything to get votes. Bernie is always himself.

Democrats will be committing electoral suicide if Hillary gets the nomination with all her baggage and sky high negatives with the general public. She just comes off as a used car sales man turned politician and that never sells with the majority of general election voters among whom, independents who determine who wins or loses in swing states. She just is not presidential material.

I feel like Hillary continues to pander too much and also use tactics that are not very genuine. As I stated yesterday, I was very disappointed and today faired much worse for her. The lies from this past month and the disappointing views on policies had done me in when it came to giving her support. I've always had the heart's desire to support Bernie but kept thinking that Hillary will be the nominee, so it'll be best to support her in the long run. Now, it's time to stop thinking and start believing!

that they now give to Trump, the points of your OP would be self-evident.
