BTW, anyone who believes everything they read on Google, Yahoo or wherever needs to get a life. And yes, you did say one rally: You said lots of rallies you saw support for Sanders, but only referred to one where young people were involved. It really doesn't make any difference who said what though. Wouldn't you agree? It gets very childish to be saying you said, I said.

Really sounds like a wish by OP only hope for a democratic win; they are doing so poorly ever since Obama was elected.

Hillary Clinton is the Democratic John McCain. Old, washed up, and uninspiring, yet inevitable. Like McCain, she is very beatible running against the right candidate. The big difference is the Republicans seem to be doubling down on the religious right rhetoric this cycle, which energizes a small number of rapidly aging people but won't generate the enthusiasm that Obama did on the left in 2008 and will completely turn off independents. Therefore, Hillary will coast to the Presidency.

The Democratic Party will win no matter what. The Republicantwins have no one who will even come close to beating our admittedly mediocre candidate. At what point does a party realize it has become a side circus and should call it a day? When a reality tv star declares his candidacy? When an inarticulate, illiterate celibutard uses it to promote her celebrity and land a tv gig? When a host of obstructionist back benchers who poll about as well Ebola bum rush the primaries trying to get the nominee? When a group of senile racists in silly hats hijack it? Conservatives deserve better than this. At the moment, their only serious choice is a moderate Democrat - hence the reason you'll be saying President Clinton again real soon.

The election will be boring even with a Republican candidate. The Republicans have absolutely no chance to win in 2016. They should just sit it out and save money for the next election instead of spending billions on a failed campaign.

How many ways can we say: partican? You are so sure of yourself, manily as in elections past you can never imagine a Republican winning any election. I believe you said about the same thing in 2014.

It worked for RFK in 68, which would have made for a more interesting election that Noxon vs Humphrey was. Maybe 2008 and 2012 were signs of the future with millennials being courted by politicians rather forgotten about because young people dont vote. I voted R on both but looking at Sanders as the only candidate I'd vote for and even writing in, my brother too...

I am extremely partisan because on one hand there is a serious, legitimate party; on the other, there is a sideshow circus of kooks, narcissists, cranks and demagogues. Yes, I side with the former unequivocally.

As a independent, I see the circus on both sides... Different shows in the rings, but still a circus. Neither political party is too terribly impressive and your mediocre candidate is probably one of the most corrupt politicians I have seen in my lifetime.
