Does anyone really believe Bernie Sanders could win a general national election?
From my view point Webb would be the most worrisome for the Republicans.
I would love to see Sanders get in... If not just to keep Clinton honest.

If Biden ran for president the media might actually have to report some of the racist stuff he says. Personally, I don't think he means anything by it, but as much as he does it I doubt the Democratic machine and left wing media could keep circling the wagons around him the whole lectionaries.

Right you are Al, Biden would be hugely entertaining, but.... don't think for a minute that you wouldn't see the biggest change in coverage since Bubba won the primary if Joe won the nomination. They have nothing to lose right now showing him for the dip sh*t that he is. If he were to win the primary , you would see major league resurrection going on!

Sanders hands down and yes I believe he can win especially with the far right candidates the clown car conservatives are running. Sanders ideology is aimed at working class people aka the ones getting the biggest shaft.

Well, when a Socialist calls some one far right, I think we can all discern the reality.
Sanders is Socialist!! In most of America that is still a bad thing (rightly so)no matter how you try to dress it up in all the "man of the working people" rhetoric.

Sanders and Biden are honestly too old to run.

By the time November 30, 2016 rolls around, they will be 75 and 74. Biden isn't mature enough -- amazingly -- to run an effective campaign, and Sanders is kind of like the crazy relative that you secretly hope doesn't show up for Thanksgiving. We've seen what 6+ years of not working has done to age Obama -- these two would probably just shrivel up and die like the Nazis in the Indiana Jones movies.

American politics have honestly hit rock bottom.

Without seeing anyone's platform or campaigns, O'Malley has a good chance of getting my vote in the primary....though being in Oregon, we vote late in the season, so by the time it gets to us, we tend to have a good idea who will win the primary. I do like the idea of electing governors for presidents most of the time. I feel like governors tend to be less DC Beltway feeling.

Reagan was older than that in his FIRST term.

Bernie's my man, but I do think O'Malley and Webb have a better chance of winning a national election , especially Webb.

You realize Mrs Clinton would be the second oldest if elected President.
