I strongly support Senator Sanders policies and programs. I am aware that the Chosen Bi**h Queen of Political Manipulation and High Priced Speeches will likely be nominated. Then I will support her in the Presidential election because compared to any of the leading Republicans she is at least sane. Maybe a bit unethical but SANE.

Your insistence that Democrats should choose the candidate that independents want more hasn't and won't be what convinces Democrats how to vote.
electability is a huge issue for most democrats. I hardly ever hear people disagreeing with Bernie on the issues. Its all about that electability.

In your Bernie echo chamber? Yes, I'm sure you hardly ever hear people disagreeing. I'll admit that I spend time in my own Hillary echo chamber and I can report that there are plenty of people who disagree with him on policy and who support Hillary because they think she's right and has a better track record, and he's wrong and not as equipped to be president, not because they don't think he can win a general election. But they are, what's that word, oh yes, DEMOCRATS, not independents who are supporting someone who joined the Democratic party 3 months ago because he knew it would be a lost cause to run as the Independent he's proudly proclaimed himself to be for decades.

That's a big fat lie. Sanders ads have been playing here in the Austin market on CNN and our local NBC affiliate for almost a week straight now.

And that's going to get him not just a win in California, but a big enough win to take so many delegates it can start erasing a delegate majority?

All I hear is how much money Bernie is raising, $27 at a time. Millions of donations. He says so all the time. And now he's going to claim he can't afford to run ads? He just spent $2 million on ads in South Carolina and while I don't know the numbers, he's spending a pretty penny in Colorado. He even ran an ad during the Oscars last night.

I talk to ALOT of voters. I have phonebanked more than 3000 people so far this campaign. People I talk to focus on electability and experience and other non-policy stuff. Overall, the DO NOT disagree with him on the issues.

Democrats are overwhelmingly New Dealers, not neo-liberals.

You'll be voting for a Democrat that you fully understand is a psychopath. Simply because you can't break your mind control, your progressive leftist conditioning.

Bernie's not broke. Like every other candidate he's picking and choosing where to spend his millions:
Quote:
In Colorado, Sanders is outpacing Clinton, $739,000 to $401,000. In Minnesota, another caucus state, Sanders’ $883,000 beats Clinton’s $470,000.
The Vermont senator has a similar advantage in neighboring Massachusetts: $1.35 million, to Clinton’s $547,000. And he’s also outspending her in Oklahoma: $443,000 to $241,000.

Trump is the bona fide psychopath. Several mental health professionals have said as much after watching extensive videos of him.


Hillary is the most sane politican out there. Cruz want a theocracy; Rubio is out there talking now about the size of Trump's penis and Trump is just bat shyte crazy.


So, Hillary, yeah.


Bernie if he gets the nomination.
