Hillary does not have a progressive agenda. Bernie is dragging hillary to the left. This is not in the center. The republicans have destroyed the middle. Noticed, ifve hillary gets in office and starts capitulating to the republicans, she will be a one term president. This is what i think she plans doing. Bernie will not cut social security. He will strengthen them. He will not agree in compromise with the republicans. That is not the compromise we want. He does faced a high bar to achieving the nomination.

We get selected because we are the very best at some aspect of the work that we have done. That work often includes public service. It means that there is not one of us who was unaware is unaware of political rights. We are aware. We read the newspapers. We listen to the news. Some of us are political junkies. Others are not. Being an informed citizen does not get translated into, now i am going to vote the way the public wants me to. The gift the Founding Fathers gave us is they gave us a lifetime job so that we would not feel pressure to do a decision based on Public Opinion from fear that somehow we would be driven from our work.
