(7,759 posts)Divide and conquer...ancient strategy. It has to be either Bernie or Hillary...before the split HRC was way out in front. When the opposition can sow seeds of doubt, fear, and indifference they win. I would be satisfied with Bernie but I think he would lose to the GOP candidate unless it was Trump. HrC is a fighter so I won't give up on her. She has been fighting since her college day...not always on the side I would choose but nonetheless she has been a fighter. She has made mistakes along the way but I believe she has learned from all of them and that makes her a better candidate.
Bernie is a fighting voice but without actual public battles. I think he would stack up all the big money and corporate pigs against his economic stances.
Whatever happens, I hope we all can get TOGETHER behind one candidate and work to energize our base and the Independents.
