I'm heading to vote with my whole family at 2:00 pm.
I'm honest to goodness torn between Clinton and Sanders. I had been an ardent Clinton supporter because I think she has the gravitas and fortitude to win in the general. However, in recent weeks, I've discovered how much I really like Sanders' policies.
Then again, Sanders said in an interview, that he ran as a Democrat for media coverage. I'm a Democrat through and through. I want to vote for one.
Then again, I really did not like Clinton's answer on the death penalty at the last town hall and the money from big corporations does make me wonder.
However, I do think her college plan is much more realistic than Sanders. Sanders likely won't get any of the things he is promising done.
Also, Hillary is a little younger, and that makes a full 8 years more likely and I admire that she had a solid stance on healthcare as far back as the 90's.
But, if we look at someone's past. Sanders was a civil rights protester and Clinton was a Goldwater girl in her teens.
This is the first time I have ever been in the so-called "undecided" category. Even in a primary, I've always known who I wanted. I voted for Clinton last time in the primaries after attending stump speeches from both. But now, I don't know.
Hmm... this was a long and pointless stream of consciousness rant. Sorry about that!
How did it go? I agree with most of this. Don't like Hillary's death penalty stance at all! I voted Hillary. She's more experienced, more realistic, has more ability to get things done, and she works within the system, which is why she's perceived as being a bit all over the map, too conservative at times, changing positions to suit current politics - all usually considered bad things, but it's not necessarily. Being a legislator representing a state or a constituency requires compromise, as does passing legislation. Also she generates money for the party helping other candidates get elected which Bernie does none of. A Sanders presidency with a Republican Congress and tons of Republican governors is not necessarily going to produce a great deal of positive government.
