@Olivier5,
I think the Sanders/Clinton race has been very enlightening for me. It has changed some of my overall views.
- I think "socialist" Sanders could be elected nationally. I really didn't think he had a chance at the start.
- I think that Sanders has forced Clinton to clarify some of her positions and move to the left. I also think that Sanders has shown Clinton that it is ok to move left and that those aren't losing positions.
- I was luke warm about Clinton, but doing more research on her, I am very impressed. The woman knows her stuff, not just the big vision, but all the details. This was especially clear during the debates. Clinton has a path to the changes she wants to make, they aren't just ideas. I've gone from "meh" to hell yes on Clinton.
