At 93% for me Bernie is my first choice (but I knew that beforehand). At 85% Clinton makes an acceptable fallback. If they were to team up to campaign together I would be extremely happy.
I have that "you gave me chocolate when I wanted vanilla" vibe when I think of Clinton as president. I don't dislike vanilla, it's perfectly good, just a "not quite what I was looking for" sort of feel. Looks like I should grab that Bernie related link and read a bit more.
I know what you mean. Hillary Clinton isn't my ideal candidate as she's moved too far to the right for me to be really happy with her. But she's still more of a liberal/progressive than someone like Mallory or Obama. If she can fight for us like she once did rather than try to pivot the way she and Bill did in the 90s then I'll be happy.
Still, Bernie is and has been the better candidate for me. I'm pleasantly surprised that he's done so well so far and I hope it can keep building momentum. They're talking about having primaries in Colorado so if they do I'll be voting for him.
I'm with you. I'm much more on board with Sanders' stances, but I was the same with 2008 Obama. Hillary can get shit done in Washington, weaseling her way through that machine the way Obama cannot. While she's way too pro-establishment, I think she will be able to effect change toward a populist agenda.

I feel Bernie would not promise things and do too many 180 on them.
Obama has been bad on my cynicism.
