And that I could vote for any of them...

But Bernie is my first choice because of the integrity and authenticity of him over 40 years.

Clinton is my second because she's always fought the right fights, but she hasn't stay consistent in her beliefs for as long, plus, she changes the way she acts based on where she campaigns. After seeing that video of her with the southern accent talking about hair coloring, I just... I just got a bad taste in my mouth about her you know? She's also got too many ties with Wall St for me to be as comfortable as I am with Bernie.

And O'Malley seems to me like he's stealing all of Bernie's lines, and hoping he can use that to get by, while being younger and more appealing to the average person. There's nothing that sets him apart, in my opinion.

All in all, YES, the Democratic party has much cleaner and better candidates than the clown car that is the Republican party.
