Exactly my thoughts. "Political purity". Clinton had all sorts of flaws, and most of the criticisms aimed at her were valid.  But even if she was every bit as bad as her critics accused her of being, her flaws pale in comparison to what we're currently getting.  We should have elected her then tossed her out in four years for a better model.

Our immediate focus should be on congress where we can affect change more readily, similar to what the tea party did.  2018 is coming.  Sullivan is up.  He's been a Trump enabler and Koch puppet from day one.  And of course Young is up.  21 months to get ready.  

Who'll toss their hats in the ring?
Begich, Margaret Stock, Forrest Dunbar...here's a long shot: Jason Grenn - the young legislator who just proposed the new conflict of interest ethics bill.  A refreshing change.  And he'll be around a long time so he has a direct stake in where the country/world goes.
