ECLECTIC RANT: Clinton is the presumptive Democratic nominee--what's next?

Now that Hillary Clinton is the Democratic Party's presumptive presidential candidate, the Democratic Party must open the Convention to at least some of Sanders’ progressive ideas and give him a meaningful say in the Party's platform. If Sanders’ supporters are satisfied at the Convention, there is plenty of time between July and November for Sanders to play a unifying role to help beat Donald Trump. The alternative is a Trump presidency with Sanders relegated to a footnote in history. I doubt Sanders' movement could survive a four or eight year Trump presidency.  

True for some, it will be choosing the lesser of two evils in November. But God help us if that choice is Donald Trump.  

I am voting for Hillary Clinton in November.
