i was surprised at bernie’s precipitous fall, since he was so popular there four years ago, but it was explained patiently to me that he is an Old White Man whose Time Has Come and Gone

personally i think they all have plusses and minuses and i’ll support anybody who is demonstrably not a (spit) republican

Personally I am delighted by Bernie’s fall from grace. The Bernie fanatics that I know are not people whose judgement I trust. I will certainly support anyone who gets the Democratic nomination against Trump (and Pence); of course if (ha ha!) William Weld got the Republican nomination, I might prefer him to some Democrats.
