It would be a catastrophe if we lost this general election. And we'll be up against a natural headwind. So we can't afford to play games.

Hillary isn't a perfect candidate, but I don't have anything particularly against her. And I don't mean that negatively. I think her presidency would be nearly identical, in all ways that matter, to Obama's, and I'm very happy with the Obama Presidency. Sometimes I wonder how happy the Sanders supporters are with the Obama Presidency.

I don't have much against Bernie either, though. I'd happily vote for him in a general election, if it came to that. My criticisms of him specifically are relatively minor. I'm far more offended by his supporters than I am by him (though as an avowed technocrat, I really do wish he'd flesh out a few of his proposals).
