This is a country with horrible gerrymandering and we need Democratic presidents at least until we have five liberals on the Supreme Court to undo it. Vote the obvious.

Right now the obvious is named Hillary Clinton. Vote for Hillary. If she dies or goes to jail or gets drafted by the Broncos or something, the obvious is likely to be named Kristen Gillibrand, or Jerry Brown, or...well, not Martin O'Malley. Vote for whoever that obvious is. Bernie's chances, regardless of whether the obvious is Clinton, are crap, because he's not a Democrat. He can't say the party is not liberal enough and corrupted by campaign donations for twenty years and then show up and demand the presidential nomination just because it's convenient for him to be a Democrat now. There's no one who actually works in the party that wants to watch President Sanders become the first sitting president since Tyler to flip parties on the job. It says a lot about how the party feels that the only declared alternatives to the obvious are the self-declared Socialist and a moderate Republican who got chased out of the GOP and wishes he was home.

Yes, Sanders is a great guy, I like him too, but he should have been working on being president for longer than a month if he really wants the job. He's not the obvious choice unless the rest of the Democratic leadership dies like in the first few minutes of King Ralph. I don't want him running if it's going to distract from getting the Democrat elected past all the gerrymandering. Truth be told, I don't want him to be president.

I want him to be the next Supreme Court justice. He'd have the job for life and would never have to campaign again, and would do a lot more work than any president can.
