Election: Clinton didn't seem very presidential

As a life long Democrat I have said I would support and vote for either candidate, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Sen. Bernie Sanders. Thursday’s debate made very clear to me that if Clinton is our candidate, I will not vote for president for the first time in my life.

My reason? She appeared defiant and smug. Her talk was much too shrill, and she would continue her rant when her time was up. She did not present as the most powerful person (president) in the world, and I am very dubious she would be able to negotiate with other countries as President Obama has.

My vote is for Sanders for president
