I'm voting for Sanders in the primary and if he loses to Clinton then Ill vote for her in the general election. Absolutely no one int he Republican party is even worth half a moments consideration. They are all terrible choices with completely unrealistic policies. The Sanders economic vision is the brightest one we have for this country.

It is kind of ironic that you say this, because a Sanders presidency would be a matter of stalemate between he and his opposition (he even admitted as much in an interview regarding the difference between him and Obama.) This makes  his policies the "unrealistic" ones. Furthermore the levels of spending and tax increases (for all classes) are not in sync with a large number of Americans. This is not to say that certain Republicans, like Trump - for example, are better with their budget plans and views on economics, especially with their ridiculous amounts of defense spending, but they are more coherent and in line with what the economy is like now, and where American politics stands on average. Not that "realism" is a feature that should be solely or even greatly valued in a candidate (I personally think principle trumps "realistic policies"), but with the "unrealistic policies" comment you seemed to place value on it.
