So, if Sanders actually were permitted to win the nomination and was running
against Paul Ryan, wouldn't you feel tempted to vote for him? I certainly
would, even with all that I know.

and There's No Point Denying It
It seems to me, the older I become, that voting for the lessor of two evils,
or voting for one person out of fear that another will get the position, is
simply a waste of our time. It's a negative. And negative seems to be
driving our People lately. Maybe for longer than just for a while. We need
a positive. I am positive that none of the people I vote for, will win.
Last presidential election I voted for Jill Stein of the Green Party. I
knew Jill had no chance of winning the election. But my vote was a positive
statement that I was not pleased with the man I'd voted for in 2008. After
going up and down the see saw, and all around the mulberry bush, I am back
to deciding that I can not support Hillary Clinton. Hell, I might as well
have voted for Obama again. I might as well have voted for George Bush, if
I decide to support Hillary. But as I have said before, this election is
not Our election. We are not the people in, "We, the People".
When I vote for Bernie Sanders, it will be like picking a horse at the race
track. I like the black one. But I had no hand in breeding or training
this horse. And if he wins, the purse goes to the owner.
But I would be betting just for the fun of "Playing the Ponies".

Hi Miriam,
Do you think that reading My Turn will influence your vote this fall?
In other words, will it make you less likely to vote for Clinton out
of fear of Trump?
Seems the more I read lately, the less I'm inclined to use fear of
Trump as an excuse to vote for Clinton.
