With the primaries effectively concluded, it looks like it will now be Hillary versus Trump in the 2016 general election. While I personally prefer Bernie over Hillary, and thus voted for him in the primaries, Hillary is certainly way better than Chump and I will thus vote for her in November. Though not quite as progressive as Bernie, and leaves quite a bit to be desired, she is still far less less regressive, reactionary, racist, and hawkish than Chump, and having her at the nuclear button is far less horrifying than him. People are starting to take a hint that the Donald is really not all he is cracked up to be, and he is crashing and burning in the polls while Hillary is rising. He literally needs no help from anyone to dig his own grave, as he is doing a great job of that himself.
Most importantly, as Hillary herself would say, this is about something far bigger than just one election, it is about smashing the highest and tallest glass ceiling in the world. If she becomes President, it will be a HUGE symbolic victory for the better half of humanity, particularly when running against a (pathetic straw) man who is in many ways the very symbol of the patriarchy. And the eventual transition to Matriarchy will no doubt be accelerated by such a victory, God willing. Besides, if Bernie (or Marianne) had eventually become President, the banksters would surely have had him (or her) whacked within the first hundred days in office. So to the "Bernie or Bust" crowd, let's NOT make the perfect the enemy of the good this time. Otherwise, we may very well see the lights go out on Broadway (or worse) in 2017 after President Chump (shudder) messes things up.
Remember, the distinguished Guru Rasa von Werder had originally predicted that Hillary would become President in 2008. Looks like her prediction was off by only eight years, and the gist of it was still correct.
VIVE LA FEMME! VIVE LE DIFFERENCE!
