Now that the g--- is all here, I think it's time to discuss how incredible the Obama presidency has been!!!!!!!

I actually think Biden would be a fine, if not great President, but I have this intuitive feeling that he would have a much greater chance of losing in the general than Hillary. No candidate is perfect, but my interest is in the likeliest to win, and thus solidify the Obama legacy. Throughout history, Presidencies defined as "transformative" have depended on their successors to uphold and/or expand about their achievements (i.e. FDR --> Truman; Reagan --> Bush). It is vital for a Dem to get elected next year, and that is precisely why the thought of Bernie winning the nomination terrifies me, although I am a fan and think he could be great for the country. I am definitely frustrated with the conduct of the Clinton campaign so far, as she appears stiff and out of touch at times on the trail, and arrogant and misleading in the handling of the e-mail "scandal." Short of criminal indictment or revelations about serious conflicts of interest regarding the Clinton Global Initiative, I am pretty confident the "scandal" will dwindle and her favorability will recover as the campaign heats up. If I am correct about that, winning the electoral college should be cake for her given the mathematical and demographic advantages Dem's currently have during Presidential cycles. My hope for some key appointments if she does win are:

Treasury Secretary: Elizabeth Warren
Labor Secretary: Bernie Sanders
SCOTUS: Barack Obama (the confirmation hearings would be GOAT television).

This is going to be such a weird election. Yet, it's the first one that I will be able to vote for which is very exciting.
