I am a white 65 year old white life-long Democrat who attended my local caucus here in Washington state.
The problem with Bernie is not his message. I agree with his message.
The problem is Bernie the person.
One: He has no track record of leading anything, no list of legislation he championed and passed, no organization he led. His skill is being an outsider who calls the “emperor” out for having no clothes.
Two: He is just to old. I know, every day I wake up and some small part of me has deteriorated. Bernie would take office at age 75.
The big message I hear about Hillary from the Saunders supporters is that she is not honest. An honest president is a fool.
Think of Game of Thrones and the Stark family ( Ned, Catelyn, and Jon ). Each is honest, and honorable, and in the process make foolishly bad choices that bring ruin on themselves and thousands of innocents.
I want a president that knows when to lie, who tells lies that help the nation. I am voting for Hillary Clinton, who has a long track record of getting things done and building coalitions.
