16. A Clinton Admin will operate in the same fashion as the Obama Admin has.
Sun May 29, 2016, 01:33 AM
May 2016

Unforeseen events could alter the trajectory, of course, but they're cut from the same cloth policy-wise.

I'm not looking to piss anyone off. I'm just pointing out that people who didn't vote for Obama (and aren't going to vote for Trump) won't have much impact on Clinton's chances.

Ultimately, I think most Sanders supporters will vote for Clinton in November. I've seen polls that suggest as many as 1/3rd won't, but I suspect that number will come down somewhat in the months to come.

No never Trump for me. Who knows what he stands for, it changes every sentence. Thinkingabout May 2016 #1
