I ain't impressed since Hispanics who CAN vote are less than 10 percent of all US voters and like YOU all but said; 1 "Hispanic" in 3 will probably vote Repub. Like I've said before: the REAL voters to be won over are us anglo white people since we're 6 to 1 in numbers against Blacks or Hispanics. Too; since the Dems ain't running a Black dude for 2016, many Black people probably WON'T vote.

To those saying Bernie would demolish the Republican nominee, I don't think so...he's like the Ron/Rand Paul of the left. Limited appeal to a minority of the party.

And politics aside, Hillary just seems like a miserable person. I'd much rather have Obama, Trump, Gore, etc. than Hillary. And I dislike all of those alternatives.

Clinton's scandals will just get worse.

She takes money from Saudi Arabia.

They behead women in public.

If she goes out old man Bernie won't be able to cope up.

Even Rubio can take him out.

Donald or even Bush would beat him.

Now they're evaluating other options but Biden or Al Gore won't do the job

Dead in the water.
Don't worry Biden will enter the race soon enough.

Can you imagine Trump vs. Biden? It'd be the race to see who can avoid foot-in-mouth statements.

Honestly, why should they have to. Why can't they just speak their mind...gaffes and all...like all of us do. That is human to me. And I would much rather vote for someone like that then a robot who is afraid of offending someone and who is polished and rehearsed.

Sanders beats Trump by a mile.

Bush is another story. Its 4 points now, but it comes down to electoral math.

It will be interesting come January when Quinnipiac does its regional break down of its polling. IF sanders is leading down the Atlantic and in the Midwest( as I expect he is), then the percentage doesnt matter, he will be President because of the map. Iowa, Ohio,New Hampshire and Virginia
You really think we(America) would elect a far-left socialist?

But then again they elected Obama.

I don't disagree with you. But they "have to" because much of the media and electorate feels differently.

Sanders is about as left as FDR or the republican Eisenhower.

A week ago I would have agreed with the OP. Clinton has very limited appeal.

But I like the idea of Biden/Warren.

Biden impressed me in the VP debates. He is quick on his feet and knowledgeable. And old school, Irish Catholic Democrat, with brains, heart, experience, and charm to burn. A vanishing breed. I was also impressed by how helpful he was to Obama, a real team player.

He will face concerns about his age, but if he has a younger, smart running mate, like Warren, it might work. I also liked Webb, but I have not heard much about him recently.
