I'll Just Say It Now -- Hillary Can't Win

[Dems2002]

135. Which candidate did I actually suggest?

While i love and adore Bernie, the best thing I can see him doing is throwing his hat into the ring in order to become part of the debate process. I'd like to get his message out to a wider audience.

In terms of the best candidate -- my ideal ticket is probably Warren/Schweitzer although climate change issues may not be addressed if Schweitzer is on the ticket, so that's a definite issue/problem. I'm welcome to other suggestions and people I am not yet familiar with, including outsiders with some successful governing experience.

In terms of the demographics of this country, that's a very interesting thing to poll. People hate corporations. They feel like they're getting screwed. They don't trust government. But conservative states just voted to raise their minimum wages and both parties wanted to see Wall Street held accountable.

One of the reasons that Republicans have been successful against Democrats is that social welfare programs are deemed for others and not for thee. The more you can campaign on the programs that benefit everyone, like SS and Medicare, the stronger the support. One of the ways to strengthen support for additional programs is to do away with means testing for as many as possible.
