"Settle for Hillary" is bullshit. I'm fired up for Hillary! [View all]

She won't just be a good president, she'll be great. I get that for unification, we need to talk to Berners about the similarities between them, and there are a lot, but clearly, in my view, the person you want to run the country right now is Hillary. I'll admit that she doesn't orate as well as Obama, and the email thing is a bit of political mess, but none of that has anything to do with actually being president. In terms of actually being president, leading foreign policy, setting a domestic agenda, running the executive branch, she will be simply great.

She's the most qualified person to run for president in maybe 100 years or more, and probably the smartest. In terms of policy in general, she's like a savant genius, everyone who has worked with her says this. In terms of foreign policy, she has very personal experience with two administrations, and has learned from the successes and failures of both. Contrary to what many Berners say, foreign policy is hard, sometimes there are only difficult choices, and I would not feel especially comfortable with Bernie making them. Trump is just frightening.

I like Obama a lot, would be fine with a third Obama term, which is what Hillary would sort of be, they are a lot the same. I think Obama came in a bit green and naive as to what the GOP is really like. Hillary is not green and naive. She knows from day 1 what she will be up against.

I'm sure some people will be settling for her, that's what I'd be doing if Bernie won. But I'm sure as hell not settling for Hillary. I'm excited for a Hillary presidency.
