I do think Bernie deserves the nomination if Hillary is unable to continue, but I highly doubt that is the case and I am not hoping for it.

(11,605 posts)I don't think it's unreasonable to say that if Hillary needs to be replaced, which I think is highly unlikely, Bernie should be the person who replaces her. Not Biden or Tim Kaine or Elizabeth Warren or anyone else who did not run and endure the grueling 18-month primary and face scrutiny from the media and the voters.
But I am very much hoping that Hillary is fine and no replacement is needed.

One cause of Clintons reputation is the Democratic primary, which subjected her to an extended character indictment. Bernie Sanders has spent a career lacerating mainstream politics as grotesquely tilted toward the interests of the rich and powerful. To him, Clinton served primarily as a useful stand-in for the failings and compromises of a system he regards as rotten. But many voters who lack a deep familiarity with the assumptions and terminology Sanders uses may not have understand his criticism in this context. When he used terms like corrupt and rigged and bought and paid for, they understood these in a much sharper way. Younger voters, who did not form clear views of Clinton in the 1990s, were introduced to her as a literally criminal figure. Clinton is actually viewed less favorably by voters under 30 than the population as a whole an astonishing data point in a country where young voters skew far more Democratic than their elders.
