Missouri’s Primary is next week and I know I’m gonna catch a huge ration of human waste, but I am still undecided. I know, I know, Hil is a a Goldwater girl corporatist unworthy to shine the brogans of the savior of the middle class and heir to FDR, Bernie, and Sanders is a gun-toting Bolshevik who will go down in defeat to whatever wacko the GOP pull out of it’s tinfoil hat in Cleveland… please save me from the histrionics….
Truth is after abandoning Hil in 2008 I feel like I owe her a vote. Her hawkishness bothers me but I realize that a lot of that is just posturing and she will show wisdom and restraint once actually sworn in. Similarly, I trust Bernie to temper his pro gun position once he gains a National constituency.
But I really feel that both have flaws as candidates. The GOP has weakened Hillary with their constant barrage of bloviating bullshit… but I also agree with my Senator, the much hated (in these parts) Claire McCaskill — whose 2012 re-election campaign in trending Red Missouri was brilliant and should be the subject of study by political campaigns for many years — that the GOP will pull out the hammer and sickle (along with archival footage of the storming of the Winter Palace) against the Bern.
And Trump scares me, he’s just the kind of idiot this country would elect.
So, the ball’s in ya’ll’s court.
Convince me.
