General Discussion

that I was a longtime admirer of Sen Sanders. I listened to him weekly on Thom Hartmann's "Brunch With Bernie" segment for many years, and liked a lot of what I heard. Also, I was not a particular supporter of Sec'y Clinton in the 2008 cycle.

The events of the 2016 electoral cycle, and how Sen Sanders handled and spoke about them, is what changed my mind about him. He never disowned the "Operation Chaos 2016" BernieBros, who were never Democrats nor actual supporters of Sen Sanders in the first place. What I saw was a man who enjoyed getting his ego stroked more than he cared about the Democratic Party and the democratic process. I'm not going to go any further on my opinion on this since we (DU) are supposed to be moving on from primary divisions. But suffice it to say that I was VERY disappointed in what Sen Sanders showed himself to be during the primary process.

Also would like to say that the events of the 2016 electoral cycle, and how Sec'y Clinton handled and spoke about them, is what changed my mind about HER. I changed from a hold-my-nose-and-pull-the-lever voter, to fully supporting her and her candidacy.
