Hal, just FYI  it wasn't the picture I was responding to.  After all the negative screeds around here  I was just happy to see something positive about our next President.  You feel as though no one heeds your laments about Hillary's past actions, but you won't allow that she has done good things for women, children, and families.  We have listed them, but you are unimpressed. 

Yes, those of us who are HILLARY supporters do realize she isn't perfect. But a felon? No.  A Wall Street whore? No.  And on and on... Shillary?  No.  For me it comes down to who I think can do the most of what I think matters. She understands that incremental change is the way to get things done, and she has no illusions that the GOP will be her friend. She is far more prepared and experienced that's Bernie, who has a short list of interests, and has no comprehension of how to accomplish any of them, as shown by his lack of any accomplishments in 25+ years on Congress.  And other than his very narrow focus, no ideas or even thoughts about the many other myriad things that our president needs to be good at.

Synch said elsewhere they she doesn't have time for incremental change, sounding just like my adolescent niece, who doesn't have time for anything except what she wants right now.  

I said it wasn't about the picture, but actually the one you posted of Nixon with his family is very telling.  There are those who only care about their own families, and then there are those, like Hillary who have worked for the betterment of other people's families.  Thanks for helping to illustrate that.

Hal, nothing said about Sanders lack of depth on the issues and his uncanny ability to alienate minority groups makes an impression on you.

Hal even Tricky Dick Nixon makes Bernie look like a failure.

While Sanders was taking his new wife to a dirt floored shack in the hills of New England,  Nixon created the EPA, OSHA to protect workers, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, employment quotas and affirmative action, added Social Security SSI for the disabled, and expanded food stamps by a factor of 5.... Nuts as he was, and as much as the right wing wanted to get rid of him, Nixon had a record of doing some lasting good, with progressive/liberal legislation.

Sanders? A champion at finger wagging.

Hal,

It´s too soon for either side to stop treating  Bernie and Hillary as contestants in a zero sum game. Giving  Hillary credit , for example , for her 20  year involvement with Marian Wright Edelman takes nothing away from Bernie. 

BTW something was responsible for Bernie 's victory margin increasing  each time he ran for mayor of Burlington. And  criticizing him  for not  compiling a more extensive DC  legislative record always seemed  like criticizing Pedro Martinez´ batting average. Not his game.  And in any event the voters in Vermont had the  responsibility  for evaluating his performance . As they did.

As to his endorsing Hillary. He can and should do that at the Convention. Not before. As I occasionally repeat here Leo Durocher had it right ,saying,

¨Show me a good loser and I´ll show you a loser¨

As was true 8 years ago we were lucky to have had the chance to choose between two such highly qualified,if contrasting candidates ,. There are lots of ways to San Jose.

Consummate professionals as they are , my guess Bernie and Hillary aren´t a fraction as antagonistic as their impassioned dagblogger supporters.

When he finally retires maybe Hillary will  put Bernie  in charge of the SEC. That would put the cat among the pigeons .

 No more fraudulent  Trump Universities .And maybe he´d be invited to address Goldman Sachs!
