From the page: "Now let me qualify everything I've just written. Jason Zengerle wrote an article for New York Magazine on the "pseudoscience of electability" and concluded that "the whole exercise of backing a candidate because of his or her supposed electability is a fool's errand." That's why, in the end, even if you're not for Hillary, what Bill Clinton says about choosing a nominee makes sense. "This electability thing is a canard; it doesn't amount to a hill of beans," Clinton told voters in Iowa. "What you need to figure out is, who would be the best president."" ~~~~~~~~~Oh boy do I have the answer to that, and it isn't her.
