If Clinton wins we will have another eight years of you lot feeling disappointed and behaving spitefully and self destructively while the country does OK.
If Sanders wins we will have six months of you lot gloating followed by another seven and a half years of you lot feeling disappointed and behaving spitefully and self destructively while the country does not quite as well due to a chronic lack of executive talent. Do you remember Vinnie Piro and Sal Albano of Somerville, or was that before your time?
All things considered, I prefer to skip the self righteous bleating and go with the proven leadership. Bear in mind that, despite your pretensions, you and your buddies are not the Base of the Party.
“You lot” — there’s a terrific team-building expression. Thanks for reaching out!
HRC’s tenure reflects a lot of things, but “executive talent” is not among them.
