Regardless of your true political beliefs or affiliations, if faced with choosing between Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, who would you choose?

the real question here is how can anyone who swore an oath to the constitution vote for a liberal or a socialist? do they not teach the definition of words in school anymore?

Apparently not. I don't think you understand what a democratic socialist is.

You are the one claiming a socialist economy is unconstitutional. The burden of proof is on you. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to be validated.

If this is for the Democrat nominee, and if I was a Democrat, then I'd vote for Hillary since she is the most corrupt.

Sometimes, I struggle with sarcasm. Are you insinuating that only Democrats are corrupt?

Sanders is winning polls by a landslide so there's the choice.

I would just rather not vote because neither of them have the countries best interests at heart.

Hillary is not qualified for high office.

This no-fly zone thing -- it has gotten some play but it needs a lot more. How could a former SecState be so idiotic? "Oh, we'll do it in a coalition," she said in the debate.

It is as if saying martial terms like 'coalition' and 'no-fly zone' stokes something deep inside her thoroughly mean personality.

Nader called it:

"As an embedded militarist, during her tenure as Senator and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton never saw a boondoggle, obsolete weapons system, or boomeranging war she didn't like. She delivered belligerent speeches against China, and scared Secretary of Defense Robert Gates by overruling his opposition through her White House contracts to overthrow the Libyan dictator. This illegal war opened up the savage chaos, bloodshed, and havoc in Libya that continued to spread into huge areas of central Africa."

But I digress.

A no-fly zone with US vs Russian aircraft that is bound to go better if we add in aircraft from other nations.

That was bullshit too.

A no-fly zone when you have Assad, our allies (whoever -they- are), and ISIS all in the mix-- that seriously sounds like a lead in to a Tom Clancy novel that devolves into WORLD WAR THREE.

Geez. NO WAY should Clinton be the president of this country.

You look at the nominees - all the nominees from either party -- and the only one with any foreign policy expertise -at all- is Jim Webb.

Sir, you are the first to answer this candidate. Just to satisfy my own curiosity, can I ask what issues influence you to choose Hillary Clinton?

SFC (Join to see) - I believe Sanders is too far left to govern, which is the exact same problem I have with GOP candidates like Cruz, Huckabee and Santorum who are too far to the right.

It is my opinion that unless we have a moderate (either direction of center) in the White House that nothing will get done, and the same goes for Speaker of the House and Senate Majority Leader. These far-left and far-right extremists have hijacked their respective parties and are responsible for the gridlock we have today.

All the silliness about threatening government shutdown because you don't like this (Obamacare) or that (Planned Parenthood) is just a bunch of crybaby extremists in the GOP crying when they don't get their way. The way it is supposed to work when you feel strongly about an issue and your party lacks the power to change it is to win more seats in the next election, not shutting down the government.

Hillary Clinton is probably the last moderate standing, though O'Malley comes close, only he lacks the recognition to win. Hillary is very smart, very experienced, and like all career politicians she has some dirty laundry (name one who doesn't).

My choice on the GOP side is probably just as surprising. Senator Graham is my pick as the only real moderate in the bunch, in his case right of center.

That is a realistic and well thought argument. I can appreciate your sentiments. I personally lean towards Sanders, but I recognize that the issues you mentioned may prevent him from being an effective leader, and may even prevent him from winning the primary race. Good analysis, sir.
