When I discuss my dislike of the idea of Hillary Clinton as  our next President, some people who have my same distaste say to me something like, “If she is the Democratic candidate in the election, of course you will vote for her because of her power to appoint Supreme Court Justices.”

I keep forgetting the answer that Michael Kinnucan posted on Facebook. Since I live in Massachusetts, it is unlikely that if I don’t vote for Hillary Clinton that it will make much difference on the outcome of the election.  If she can’t win Massachusetts without my vote, then she and Martha Coakley ought to get together and commiserate.  (Democrat Martha Coakley actually got my vote both times she ran for statewide office and lost.  One of those times gave us Senator Scott Brown, and the other time gave us Governor Charlie Baker.)

So, as a Massachusetts resident, I am free to vote my conscience.  If I had to cast my vote tomorrow, my conscience tells me to vote for Bernie Sanders.
