Hey at least youre admitting now she stayed in to help the establishment.

The establishment was going to win no matter what she did. She hoped otherwise, obviously. That's why she stayed in. But dropping out and supporting Bernie, while it would have looked very good, wouldn't have accomplished much except upsetting the establishment. She was pragmatic in withholding her endorsement.

I understand not liking the pragmatism, but in our political system it's the difference between getting something done, even if its imperfect (Obamacare) and getting nothing done.

One day hopefully we'll move past the imperfect Obamacare. I'm sure whatever it is, will also be imperfect. Then maybe candidates like Bernie Sanders won't seem so out there, while candidates like Paul Ryan will look like lunatics for wanting to change a system that Works.

The fact is, Obamacare is what it is in large part because a few blue dog democrats couldn't go along with his original and better plan. All it takes to stop a good effort, are a few who refuse to do the right thing. And that's rather unfortunate in our system.
