(6,073 posts)This is the year of the outsider. I liked Bernie but had no idea he would last long enough to make my Primary. My wife supported Hillary, as we both had in 2008. I told her that if he was viable when he reached our state, I would likely vote for him. By the time he reached our state she had switched to Bernie and suggested we donate. We were both able to vote for a candidate we never believed would make it this far because he actually did. We are both Democrats who were disillusioned by the Party's conduct against Hillary in the 2008 Primary. What irony, the people who slammed Hillary then, support her now. I supported her then even though she was a corporatist because I knew Obama was also. At least I felt that she was more open about it. Now we fight the same people for Bernie that we fought for her then. Politics is a strange game.
