The yoga teacher (29, Tennessee)
Dont publish my name. It would ruin my progressive image
Barack Obama talked about hope and change, but I believe he failed to deliver on his promises. His record with drone strikes and prosecutions of whistleblowers are especially troubling (not to mention he didnt follow-through with prosecutions of those who caused the financial crisis).
As far as Obamacare goes, Im not buying it, because it seems ignorant to throw money at a problem and hope it will get better. Im glad more people are covered, but the plans arent worth shit, as many of them dont kick in until you spend thousands on a co-pay. No thanks.
Bernie is a breath of fresh air, but Im not sure he can beat Hillary. In a match between Bernie and Donald, Id vote for the former. In a match between Hillary and Donald, Id vote for the latter. It isnt a vote for Trump, but rather a vote against the political establishment (which must be removed from office at any cost even if it means electing a reality TV star for president). The stakes are too high. Hillary cannot win or the oligarchy will continue unabated.
And please dont publish my name, it would ruin the whole progressive image (and my girlfriend might kill me).

(7,107 posts)1. I don't buy there is really a large group of "secret Trump voters"
Trump actually performed worse than his poll numbers during Super Tuesday.
If anything, I think his popularity is exaggerated.
Now, I want him to win the GOP nomination more than anything as he will be the easiest to beat in November.
