It's kind of sad when the only requirements out of a politician is to have the proper letter after their name.
Not really, because those "proper letters" after a name stand for a litany of issues and political philosophies that the respective parties stand in fundamental opposition to one another, after all isn't that the very reason for having opposing political parties?
You know, I find your statement rather puzzling because for some reason I can't imagine that you or any other Republican would consider a Republican candidate who philosophically agreed with my world view as being a proper Republican, so why would my adherence to "the proper letter behind the name" be inconsistent with what virtually every Republican I can think of adheres to when it comes to supporting or not supporting a political candidate?

The difference between Sanders and Hillary is as big of a chasm as any two politicans could be.

I'm voting for Sanders and by you stating what you did you are only making my argument stronger.
I notice especially that many women I talk to about the upcoming election say that, "He looks like a slimeball." This is without me bringing up anything about the guy.
That's funny, because my 15-year old daughter and I think that, and it makes my husband mad because he wants him to be the next president. Do women have a sixth sense about him? He just seems like the boss who would constantly find a reason to touch you, or the guy who gets caught in a police sting operation to catch pedophiles that surprises no one who knows him. I feel bad for thinking this if he's really a nice guy, but I can't help it.

I understand this but it seems that so many who hold this idea had no problem with a president that liked to touch the help.
When I think of warmonger, I think of the neo-conservative cabal that was part of Bush II's administration. If I had to rank the administrations by war-mongering, I'd rate them Bush II, Bush I, Reagan, Obama. What exactly leads you to believe that Hillary Clinton would be a war-monger?
Are you aware that it was Hillary as Secretary of State that pushed Obama to intervene in Libya? It was her and Samantha Powers, because Hillary and Bill's biggest regret was not doing something in Rwanda and Powers' big cause is stopping genocide. Noble reasons, but possibly misguided in that instance. Though I do remember he was doing horrible things at the end, so maybe she was right. It's just that Obama did the straddle the middle thing where he didn't commit properly and it turned into a cluster. Then again, I agree with Rand Paul that even if we did the thing properly, it would have still turned into a cluster.
