(23,156 posts)then not only is the GE in danger, but more to the point you won't have them voting down ticket.
One of the claims of the Hillary crowd all along has been how much better she will be able to work with Congress than Bernie would, as if her eight years (one and a half terms, like another woman politician we all know she quite midway through a term) counts a whole lot more than Bernie's 25 years in both the House and the Senate.
She is not going to magically bring about a kumbaya moment with Congress, especially if it remains in the hands of Republicans. Of course, she'll probably be able to do a lot of distracting with invasions and drone strikes, so that people will be persuaded that the only possible way to balance the budget will be to cut Medicare and Social Security.
This country needs the change that Bernie could bring about. Hillary will be same-old same-old, and I'm depressed just anticipating it.
