So really the answer to unelectable is apparently not as the GOP is doing more to make Hillary electable than Hillary is capable of by herself.

For real, the republicans are so bad at this point democrats will vote for whoever gets the nomination. I just hope its Bernie.

Cuz after Hillary gets elected who knows who will pay her to say or do who knows what? She is for hire to the highest bidder.

the super predatory theory has since been mostly disproven, but was advocated by a lot of respected criminologists and social scientists at a time when US violent crime rates were peaking... it's not like it's something Clinton pulled out of a hat, and it specifically referred to the perpetrators of youth violence/murders.

Innuendo as fact, huh?

If Repubs are as bad as you say (I won't argue) then why do you spend your time tearing down their adversary if not to drag them down to Repubs' level?

Are the Bernie bros intent on making a Naderesque statement or winning the election?

I think Bernie is the only liberal democrat running for president.

Hillary is a liberal republican or a conservative democrat. imo.

I think Bernie will beat Trump easily. He's no Nader.

In fact the only thing I think that separates Clinton from a republican is that she wants people to like her. She changes her tune so often because she is trying to mirror what she thinks voters want.

And I think that Clinton would make a far better president than Trump or Cruz or Rubio but I dont trust her at all. And its not like I know Sanders personally but I get a sense of his desire to do what HE THINKS is right rather than doing what he thinks voters want him to do.

I just feel like someone who wants to please everyone all the time is not a good choice for president.

All that said. I will vote for Hillary Clinton if she gets the nomination because a republican in the white house would be worse and Trump could LITTERALLY be the end of the world lol.

I would just prefer Sanders. In fact i would prefer Elizabeth Warren. But she isnt running. I hope that Sanders gets the nomination and asks her to be vice pres. If she will accept.

Or if Hillary were to make Sanders her vice pres if she gets the nomination that would make me feel slightly better about voting for her. And increase her chance of winning. imo.

I dont necessarily believe all the right wing spin about the "Clinton crime family" etc. I just dont think she'd be all that good of a president.

Also, the fact that all the criminal banks are her top supporters is very very worriesome.

edit: Plus I feel like the 3 GOP candidates have very little chance of winning a general election. So whoever the Dem nominee is will be president.

I think Repubs' only chance is a Dem candidate they can paint as a Commie, basically, somebody "too far left for America".

Not that I believe it but Bernie is open to a variety of attacks of that nature.

Repubs want to run against Bernie, not Clinton. I mean it'd be horrifying to run against a candidate who actually responds to the voters, huh?

I dont think most non republicans will fall for the whole, commie socialist thing.

I think that with how far right the right has gone that either dem candidate is an automatic win IF voters come out to vote. And I think Bernie is more likely to bring out the vote due to the perception that he will be more likely to instigate change than Clinton.

But like I said. If Clinton gets the nomination I'll vote for her as my duty to make sure the next Supreme Court justice is liberal, as will many and she will win. But I just think Bernie will bring out the excitement to the vote like Obama did, maybe not exactly, but more than her.

Shes not that terrible, just that when you are comparing something or someone that you want to something or someone you dont want, whatever you are against becomes the devil for the moment ya know lol.

It seems an anemic argument to say oh they are both good but i would prefer this one to the other.

Plus this is the internet.
Its much more fun to say MY PiCk iS THA Best he wiLL Save The WOrLD! and Yours IS GARBAGE she eats babies etc. :p

Something interesting I have noticed is:

While driving around the Western NY area. I would happen to notice roughly 2-4 cars per week with "I'M READY FOR HILLARY " bumper stickers on them. I would say in the last 2-1/2 months I haven't seen one. I have noticed a few "Feel the Bern" bumper stickers in the past couple weeks. Has anyone experienced the same thing in other areas?
