Trump went after both our leading candidates last week

By holding a "over sold" rally in Bernie's backyard and going after "the big dog" Bill Clinton.
To my mind Trump started to "feel the Bern" while Bill tucked his tail between his legs backed down. Our party needs a canadate who will be able to take on whom ever the Republicans finally go with and from what I have seen Bernie will have the least "baggage" which the Republicans can use against because his stand has not changed for 40 years where there are too many issues where Hillary has changed on she becomes open to being call a flip/flower.

I stopped thinking it was a joke when he got elected. Trump is a real danger to our country and we need the best candidate we have to beat him, and it seem like Bernie may be our best choice.

me that Hillary will do better against the vicious racists.

At this point in time I am trying to ascertain, for myself, which of our two has a better chance of winning, because winning is ALL that matters right now.

for weeks now,not that I blame him,that's good campaign strategy as free publicity.Sanders has gone largely ignored by Trump and he barely mentioned him in Vermont. Where you got Bill Clinton running away with his tail between his legs is beyond me.
