very strong words, from someone who vows to support her if....

For me, I would add, and runs the campaign with Progressive values she has promised to run. Veering back rightwards, as in days of old, to appeal to those little Ronny Reaganites just isn't going to cut it with me. I mean, even Trump knows this is a bad policy, and I ain't voting for Trump.

Hillary and the Democratic Party will be wise to stay with the Progressive/Populist/Liberal principles that Bernie's campaign has shown are so popular and that Hillary has joined in so far - that is if they hope to retain and even add to their coalition.

The American public, thwarted so long by triangulation and b.s. like that, is thirsty for a party that actually proves that it works for the people. No more bait and switch, no more waffling. Just put that Progressive message out there, and we will run roughshod over the Republicans this Fall, and what's more - WE WILL DO IT TOGETHER!

Failing that, we've got 1968 all over again.
