Looks like the Queen is now acknowledging that the throne is not hers to take!

Hillary Clinton increasingly anxious on Bernie Sanders - CNNPolitics.com

If she can't handle Sanders, how does she expect to handle Trump?

For Democrats, Sanders is their Trump. I watched several of his youtube videos and he knows what is going on and is speaking about it. He comes up short for me on illegal immigration but in the past, he had a different stand so maybe he would be "negotiable".

For Sanders, getting his ideas out there is helping him in the polls as is the disgust with Hillary. The man is very intelligent and patriotic.

Just like with Trump, everything is going to cost too much that Sanders is proposing but if you look closely I think a combination of what they are talking about is more than feasible. Too many people can't get past the media thinking for them thus our present disaster in the White House.

My top three candidates: Carson, Trump and Sanders.

The wicked witch had the same problem "I'm melting! I'm melting." Yes, Hillary, you are melting.

Hillary might be seeing another Obama type loss in the making.

Sanders vs. Trump?

Oddly I've seen polling that suggests Sanders would do better than Hillary against Trump.

I think Cruz has a better chance of being nominated than Trump the Birther....I just can't see Republican voters actually voting for Trump when it comes time to make that decision. But either way, both would be crushed by Sanders, especially if he makes a smart VP pick.

That might be viable imo IF Cruz gets past this where he was born and a citizen of issue if it is one as well as if the GOPe gives Trump the boot and let Cruz be their POTUS candidate.

It could be:

Sanders or Clinton verses Cruz "R" and Trump "I" in that scenario imo.

I really wonder who Sanders would choose as VP.

If Tulsi Gabbard had been a few years older, she would have been perfect in every way. Very smart, well spoken woman from Hawaii with a strong military background and impressive resume for her age and is always out there defending Bernie from the DNC establishment! But she's just too darn young!

Hypothetically, if both Sanders and Trump ran as independents as a result of both the DNC and RNC supedelegates tip the scale and pick their establishment candidate after Sanders and Trump get the majority of the votes, an independent would become president and the two party system would collapse.

Yeah that would actually be good only if the correct "I" candidate was elected POTUS imo.
