Right now I lean a bit towards Bernie, but like you I've been appalled at the lack of civility on the part of fellow Democrats and the entrenched hostility toward Clinton. Will these folks not regret some of the things they've said should Hillary Clinton get the nomination? I hate to think that so much ugliness generated here could come back around and be used by the opposition to elect someone like Donald Trump. Surely, THAT is the greatest evil! I fear that a house so divided could fall.
