(13,877 posts)and I now mean IF...Hillary Clinton becomes the nominee, I'll vote for her.
However, if by some wave of sanity, the Democrats nominate Bernie Sanders, it will be by the power of his message and his nigh impeccable political record. He will gain much of the Independent vote and some of the Republican Right votes in the General. A lot of Hillary folk are reconsidering as he becomes more national in scope.
People underestimate the degree to which a lot of people don't much like Hillary. Unfairly, IMO, but she's not Bill in the charisma department. Bernie has the charisma of a wise Grandfather, he's not going negative (that will hurt Hillary)and I don't think either are a negative.
I think the word "Sage" should be interjected into our descriptions...that means Wisdom...and Bernie has that in spades.
