6. OK I see, "woman president"

is the number one reason for the Indy endorsement. On all the other positive descriptors in this article I could plug in "Sanders."

She will "move the needle ever so slightly in the right direction"....wow what a statement! Ever so slightly as to be imperceptible.

I have come to the conclusion myself that as much as I would like to see a woman president--that cannot be the main factor at this critical time. We need real change. I strongly disagree with her candidacy for many reasons, not the least of which is that I don't believe she can beat Trump. She has too much baggage and will bring out the R vote in full force.

But thanks for posting riversedge. I appreciate your excerpt from the article.
