“We are not thinking machines. We are feeling machines that think.” — Christopher Graves.

You aren’t going to be able to change people so that they suddenly become thinking machines. A leader of people has to be able to speak to their hearts, guts, instincts, emotions, etc.

I voted for Hillary Clinton and I would do it again. But, early on in the primary process, I realized she was some kind of risk. Like everyone else, as the process went forward, I figured she would win. Now, in retrospect again, I feel, and I think, she was a mistake.

And it’s not necessarily that Bernie would have been sure to win. We’ll never know. But, I had a feeling there would be a lot of otherwise reliable people, otherwise good people, who would refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton.

I don’t presume to know how to fix the Democratic Party’s system for choosing a candidate, but with Hillary Clinton, I think it showed a flaw.

I will never accept the charge that Bernie or his supporters did it. Hillary Clinton simply lacked the appeal necessary to get people out for her. Bernie nor his supporters created that problem. It existed before Bernie’s hat was in the ring. That problem was inherent in the candidate herself.
