    Think about this every time you disparage the only candidate standing in the way of this potentiality.

    There are many of us who would love to see a true progressive social democratic firebrand ascend to the presidency and bring about our Utopian idyllic dreams of equality and kumbaya but unfortunately that is just not a reality that will soon come to pass in the USA. For good or bad, there are only two possible choices in any US election: Democrats or Republicans.

    I admire your ideals, but personally, I have always been willing to compromise on an issue here and there in order to support the last Democratic candidate standing. Regardless of my agreement with them on every issue, I know that by default, their stance will be closer to mine than the alternative GOP drivel.

    Standing on ceremony like some of these Bernie or Bust folks may have us all missing both like crazy if Trump wins.

    Sorry for the rant, no offense.

    Edwards "2 Americas" message in 2004 would have been perfectly attuned to today - of course, then we found out he was terrible.

    when Trump says he is the the worst president in US history I wonder how many people really believe him.

    I'm watching the Obama press conference. Trump rants and raves like a nut and Obama just picks apart Trump's BS like a teacher with a junior high kid. No comparison.

    Worst president since Carter, but I'd take 4 more years of Obama over Hillary or Trump. The bar just keeps getting lower and lower.

    President Obama is the worst president since George W. Bush.
