The same could be said of the Republican winner. If they face off, one of them has to win (unless Bloomberg does).

Such an important time and decision for the future of this country and this is what we get to choose from to take responsibility.
It is such a crying shame but Clinton, Trump, Cruz and Sanders......NONE of them are really "electable"!!

Same was said of JFK. America would NEVER elect a Catholic. Times are changing my friend.

Sanders is a straight shooter who runs on the same political platform as FDR and Truman, two of the most popular presidents in history, is just what the country wants. He'll get the Democrat vote, but he is CRUSHING Hillary among independents in both polls and elections and is bringing thousands upon thousands of non-traditional voters out to vote for the first time for a candidate who actually cares and is beholden to no one but the people who voted for him. Sanders is the real deal. The very bad anti-worker trade deals and the corrupt campaign finance system is turning the US into a country for the economic royalists while the working class suffers. We are voting for a candidate who will at least acknowledge the issues with the current system and put up a fight for the working class of this country. Not just a candidate who throws the hands up in the air and declares defeat.

Interesting fact. During Sanders' 15 minute victory speech, he got more than $250 000 in donations. More than Goldman Sachs would have given!

I'm all for him except for a few issues like free college education--that's impossibly expensive and not necessary because there are already too many college grads. Also, illegal immigration.

But he is for the people. Government by and for the people. How refreshing.

His speech tonight reminded me a little bit of JFK's inaugural speech the way he appealed to the youth of America and the future. The way he appealed to the ordinary people, not the entitled rich people who have more money than they know what to do with.

Admitted "democratic socialist" NOT a socialist. We've had other past presidents that ALSO could be identified that way. 2 of them were Republicans in fact.

You really don't know this stuff do you?

You are delusional lol. Are you popping those pills Big Pharma forces on you? But, I agree, its a great thing for the country that the Democrats are apparently hell bent on nominating someone who is unelectable.
