    ‘I’m Sticking with Sanders – – and Voting for Clinton’

    Bernie Sanders has the best policies. But Hillary Clinton has the chops to advance a progressive agenda—if we make her.

    I see a possible scenario that can make a Clinton win a blessing. It is a long shot, but the logic is simple.

    1. Few, if any, Americans have the broad insider experience that prepares Clinton to carry out the basic duties of the presidency—and to advance a progressive agenda if forced to do so by the persistent demands of a powerful progressive political movement.

    2. Sanders has activated millennials and independents and energized a powerful progressive political movement with the potential to hold Clinton to a progressive agenda.

    3. Trump is fracturing the Republican party and energizing his opposition. These two factors could flip control of Congress. Combined with a Democrat in the White House, that would assure a progressive shift in control of the Supreme Court.

    4. These factors together create a moment of historic opportunity.

    We also know, of course, the Clinton family’s history of aligning with Wall Street and the corporate establishment. To win against Trump, Clinton will surely continue to run against the corporate establishment. Once in office, however, she could easily slip into her old ways.

    This is where the social movement that Sanders energized becomes so essential.
