I finally made up my mind who I will vote for in the Democratic presidential primary in New Jersey.

I am always shocked when I see people interviewed on the street and when asked about who they will vote for, they have no idea yet. It seems like a lot of Americans make their decision after the curtain closes. This, after a year-long process that sucks the life out of all of us. “So who will you be voting for tomorrow? I haven’t decided yet.” Sheesh.

Well, I have, and I am voting for Sen. Bernie Sanders. While I think Hillary Clinton will be the nominee and the one for whom I will vote in November, I want to add to the voices who believe that in the long run Sanders’ ideas are what is best for America. Unfortunately, I don’t expect him to be the nominee, but the more votes he gets the more political capital he will accrue.

Letter: Let voters have say in remaining primaries

Clinton is perhaps the most prepared individual we have had for this job in decades. She was a very involved First Lady. She has been a senator and a secretary of state. Nobody has had a resume like that.
