He got my vote in the NH primary, Reg. I must concede however that economists from both ends of the political spectrum have determined that his budget numbers don't add up. I also disagree with his "free tuition for state colleges" plan as I think it's essential that students have some skin in the game. And on the foreign policy front, he hasn't yet fully explained how he'd deal with the aggressive moves of Putin, China, and radical Islam. Still, he's the only candidate with the integrity that matters so much to me. The only one who truly cares about those on the fringe, be they women, minorities, the LGBT community, the powerless, and the poor. But he's 75, and he hasn't felt the effects of a billion dollar GOP advertising campaign that would paint him as a radical commie, hopelessly naive and unfit to lead us. They'd just love him to beat HRC and then unleash their blitzkrieg of a campaign against him.So, part of me, the pragmatic part that thinks HRC has the best chance to beat the GOP, wants the primaries to end and let HRC, warts and all, so many warts and all, get on with the slog and take the general election in November.
