If Bernie makes it as far as the Ohio primaries, I'm gonna vote for him.

I'm still pretty sure though, its gonna come down to voting for Hillary Clinton in the general election. And I'm at peace with that for the moment. Is there anything wrong with that?

Make your voices heard, the primary is the time to hit hard on principles, dream big.

After this, then we go after the GOP with whatever we get in the primaries.

I think Hillary has it.

Hehe, now thats not the actual words used when the conversation went down, but that was a very brief summary. She was backing Kucinich, I voted for Obama though, even though at the time, I doubted he was gonna win even the nomination, let alone the Presidency.

So yea, I still have that same feeling with Bernie, but who knows. I know this much. I'll be proud to vote for Bernie Sanders as a Democratic nominee for President. But if it turns out like I think it will and its Hillary vs Jeb, I'll be proud to vote for Hillary anyday, against any given Republican running, but especially a Bush.

Bernie is where my heart is though.
