Monday letters: Clinton and Sanders would make a great ticket

I feel more strongly than I did even 18 months ago that the finest ticket we could have would be Hillary Clinton for president and Bernie Sanders for vice president. I believe they combine all the ingredients we need to grow in a healthy way as a world leader. More unites them than divides them, and though they currently show areas of disagreement, I believe they respect each other. I like and respect them both and am grateful they each feel strongly about our welfare and are willing to put their lives on the line for us.

Just ask yourself: Would I, could I live in the limelight and be a strong leader? Let’s stop criticizing. Let’s support people who are willing to spend years being brutalized by the public.

And how dare we ever criticize Barack Obama, who will live in history as one of the finest, if not the finest president we could ever possibly have?
