    Nothing wrong with self-restraint, but I'd rather deny myself the junk food and go for the real nutrition.

    I certainly agree that Bernie Sanders is more nutritious (in this metaphorical context) than Clinton. But I question whether writing him in in November will get me much metaphorical nutrition. The heartburn of a Trump presidency might outweigh that Bernie nutrition. Unplanned revolutions rarely end the way the participants expect, and trying to win the Bernie revolution with a Trump presidency is about as unplanned as one can get.

    It seems nobody will have much by way of happy choices this year. Except perhaps stakeholders in the Clinton Foundation.

    How did that Cruz-Kasich Alliance pan out?

    And to carry this food metaphor to its end, Hillary is like a big mac. (it was, after all, Bill's favorite food for years) Everyone knows what's inside. No surprise. Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun. Not at all inspiring or new or interesting. Bernie is like a good Neiman Ranch burger. Medium rare. Not overdone. I would certianly rather have the second, but if too many people in November vote for the Bernie burger, not only will we not get Bernie burgers, but we won't get the Big Mac either. Instead the whole country will be stuck with a nasty steaming pack of White Castle sliders. Greasy and vile and sending us all running for the bathroom with a big case of the sh**s.

    Well, Trump won all five states with 50-60% of the vote, so I'm inclined to think it didn't.

    California may actually matter this year. That's how bleak things are.

    haha... good points. In any case, this menu calls for a change of restaurant management...
