Just as with Obama. If you can beat the Clinton Machine, you can beat the Republicans

The Clinton Machine is unmatched in its competitiveness, ambition and willingness to smear it's opponent into the ground.

If a candidate can win the national primary against the Clinton Machine, they can handle the general election and the Republican Machine.

All the lamenting that Sanders is un-electable in the general are moot points. If he wins this primary, he can win the general. If he loses the primary, he won't be a candidate in the fall.

There is a lot of Clinton fatigue and their desperation has become palpable.

Bernie will prevail.
