Involved in town and county Dem. activities. There are many good things about Bernie. First time he ran I supported him for several reasons pretty much knowing that Hilary would get the nomination and that I would volunteer for her campaign. I was less than thrilled that he ran a second time.
While I support a lot of what he stands for, and he caucuses with the Dems, his weak, last minute support of HRC and sometimes balking at various Dem initiatives have not always been helpful.
