The thing that gets me behind Bernie at this stage is that the right-wing very effectively hung the Pocohontas monicker onto Warren, and it stuck very well - even if there is more to it than meets the eye. I'd support her if she gets the nomination, but I'd be very nervous about it.

Plus, Bernie came out earlier and more decisive with his message. He actually almost took the nomination away from Clinton. 47% by the finish of the primaries. That's got to count for something.

Negatives are the things driving me to Bernie, not necessarily Bernie himself.

And I don't care about winning.

Young people support Bernie. Young people tend to be lower income because they are either students with part time jobs or very early in their careers and have not yet reached their earning potential.

Also many Bernie supporters are still in college and not yet earned their degree. Even some high school seniors. So on paper they could skew heavy in the category of under educated because they are so young that they haven't yet completed their education.

Bernie's been 'coming out earlier and more decisive' for several years and this will be his 3rd run. Bernie is a SOCIALIST, always has been, and favors Russia. Pathetic Bernie has been banging his drum for more than 12 years. You would think he'd get the message by now.

Some things take more, way more, than 12 years to get into the public consciousness. All the right's movements in our history, for instance. Same with environmental awareness. BTW, that also includes women's right to vote. Even to this day, certain people don't think a woman's places is "that kind of (high) place" - yes, 40 years after Women's Lib. So in this context, 12 years is barely drive time across town.

BTW, where does Bernie favor Russia? If in right-wingers eyes he supposedly favored Russia, it was when the USSR was still a going concern. That's about 30 years out of date.

Wait?


Didn't Hillary say that Bernie's supporters were children living in their parents basement?

If American women came together they could elect a woman. That woman being Elizabeth Warren.

I'd also like to see Bernie as VP.

I think both Bernie and Warren have been very positive in addressing their messages instead of focusing on the negative.

This is very important to me. While Warren attracts the academic elite to her policy oriented campaign, Bernie attracts people who were never very political.

People who are very political are often those who want to change the world in their vision, they want to better the lives for everyone.

They are the utopian globalists.

Bernie has support of common folk who don't want their candidate to curry favors from the proper power brokers or gain allies in DC friendly think tanks.


Our politics value experience over morals, and that is why we are doomed.



Sanders supporters for the most part are Baskets of Deplorables.
