In 2016, Bernie Sanders is not only today's Democratic "movement leader" (as exemplified by endorsements from The Nation and MoveOn.org), he's surpassed Hillary Clinton as the "inevitable" presidential candidate.
Sanders performs better than Clinton against Trump in a general election. Also, Bernie Sanders isn't linked to an expanded FBI investigation of emails (that could easily continue past Election Day) and he's raised more individual contributions than anyone in history. Finally, Vermont's Senator has already surpassed Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire polls; something deemed unthinkable to many observers several months ago.
Bernie Sanders is also the only leading presidential candidate with positive favorability ratings in 2016.
While the majority of Americans find both Clinton and Trump "not honest and trustworthy," only Sanders is trusted by the majority of Americans. Because of negative favorability ratings, I explain why Hillary Clinton is unelectable in this YouTube segment.

(23 posts)He will be the most respected journalist in the country after Bernie Sanders secures his nomination AND his seat behind the desk in the Oval Office. Other journalists will have to start doing actual journalism instead of puff pieces.

Welcome to DU! I think you are going to love the website!

GO BERNIE.

(11,945 posts)I always thought sarcasm was a feminine trait, but lately DU has been showing me how intensely, single-mindedly sarcastic angry men can be. I suppose this would be men who are in the habit of suppressing the violent or "losing it" side of their anger, which I would once have thought a good thing, but now am not so sure.
Why can't they just go for a run or throw something or play a round of racket ball? Or scream? Find a more direct way to deal with it -- without, of course, harming those around them.
This sarcasm thing is becoming gross and grotesque.
