I concur wit you that it came down to a piss poor choice, or as I've frequently seen it phrased, the choice between shit soup and a shit sandwich when I really want PB&J.  

Where I differ is that I think HRC would have been an unmitigated disaster, but then I believe should she be spending the rest of her days wearing an orange jump suit.

I don't think she would have been the disaster that many think.  Her opponents just had years and years for ad hominem spin.  Lots of people eventually bought into the spin, started believing it. This leaves me as disappointed with the believers of the spin as the creators of the spin.

Doesn't mean I wouldn't have been more enthusiastic for Bernie.

Trump is being subjected to even worse ad hominem spin. The envelope for what is acceptable in the sensationalist, partisan, lying press and punditry is expanding. Now I'm no fan of Trump. Lack of people skills alone would make him a failed president, bad dated ideas aside. Still, the amount of partisan assassination being directed his way is amazing. I'll generally read any vaguely political reporting as spun. Lately, my spin-o-meter seems to be broken, spinning so wildly that it can't measure spin.
