I'd be happy to vote for either, but right now, I'm leaning strongly toward Hillary.
My change (I was leaning toward Sanders until very recently) is that Sanders's supporters keep repeating lies about Hillary. No, she did not win the "six coin flips in a row" in Iowa (That was cherry picked: there were about a dozen delegates chosen that way, and she got six of them). No, she's not being supported by the big banks (small donors who were employees of the banks were grouped by employer).
Her comment about not getting single payer is pure realism -- Sander's has no chance of it happening until someone manages to convince doctors, hospitals, drug companies, and insurers to go along. Bernie ain't gonna do that unless he sets himself up as a dictator (which he wouldn't do).
She also seems to know more about foreign policy.
What really turned me off was that Sanders' supporters sound like Republicans (or Communists): We have a party line and if you aren't 110% ideologically pure, you're a traitor. I find that sort of attitude stupid and very immature. The very nature of politics in a democracy is that you won't get everything you want.
Much of Hillary's "history," BTW, is just a fabrication of the right wing. It's like thinking she had Vince Foster killed.
