Try to imagine if Hillary and Bill Clinton’s lives were switched. Hillary manages to get elected president in 1992 and Bill becomes First Gentleman.

Eight years later, Bill carpetbags it to New York to run for the Senate there and wins.

It’s nice to see many people are giving the Democratic establishment the middle finger by declaring that they won't vote for Hillary in November if she gets the nomination. However, it's almost May, and six months is a long time from now. Will the Bernie or Bust movement be able to hold strong until then? If Hillary gets the nomination, it’ll be the beginning of the long walk.

Forgive me if this has already been posted. I signed it. I think it's right on. I especially like the suggestion to withhold Bernie's mailing list from the DNC. Unless the Sanders movement evolves from a presidential campaign into a real democratic organization, it will be extremely short lived.

So this is my first diary ever on the Internet.

I have lurked here and commented a bit a TOP. First off, I am a Millennial Latina living in Texas. I was raised in a poor but loving family. I got a scholarship to a top university and was sure that it was my ticket to a middle class lifestyle. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I spent most of my 20s being poor. It wasn't until my late 20s that I finally started living a middle class lifestyle. So that is a little about me.

…where is fancy bred. In the heart or in the head? ….

It is engendered in the eyes, with gazing fed, and fancy dies in the cradle where it lies. Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 3. Also Willie Wonka with Gene Wilder.

We are concerned right now with electing Bernie, but we are also aware of the much larger issue of climate change and of how the results of this election will affect our nation's response to the peril.

This series explores the outlines of democratic socialism...um, snooooooozzzze...too academic, too dry, and relevance, please. "G, your planned series needs a makeover and fast." Well, resilient people are good at troubleshooting, so here goes.

Would you like to find ways to make your local community more resilient, more viable, more self-sufficient? Have you thought about how to develop your local community more organically? Consider banning the corporation within your local jurisdiction. Seriously :=)> More below.

Polls show Bernie's challenges in NY are those over 45 and people of color. Here's a super positive Bernie video that appeals to those voters: Welcome Back, Bernie! Please share! And watch for Bernie kissing Jane! How many ads show that??

So, on T-3 HuffPo Pollster averaged polls has Clinton 53-43; a 10-point lead. Heh, heh, heh. Some digging into the numbers below.
