...for Hillary.

I was undecided until I stepped up to the booth. I settled on voting for the first woman President. I feel that she is more than qualified, and can effectively run the country. Hillary is a political opportunist, but that is not my greatest concern at this point in time. I want the country to move to the left, but I do not want to attempt a hard left to get there, as I believe that will backfire in the long run. IMO there are demographic and socioeconomic shifts that will bring the US to the to the left, and in the end, it doesn't have much to do with who decides to run. Most important to me right now, is executive competence, a more liberal Supreme Court, and a US where a woman has been President.

I have yet to be able to vote for a President that I am completely satisfied with.

I also do not buy that Bernie stands the best chance of winning against Trump. Sanders is a man of integrity, and his challenge has been a very positive thing. If he were younger, perhaps he could win the Presidency in 2024.
