Bernie does not have all of her bagagge for another.

More people think he is trustworthy than any other candidate.
Republicans will get off of their death bed to vote against HRC while Bernie brings many Republicans to his cause.
HRC numbers continue to drop while Bernie's rise.
This election cycle has proven that Americans are tired of the "Establishment" representing Donors. HRC is onthe wrong end of this trend, while Bernie has always been against the establishment way of doing things.
I don't know where you are getting that I am being "silly"? I am excited that we finally have someone honest and principled enough not to sell us out to donors and is for fighting for Publicly Funded Elections to put an end to the legalized bribery that HRC is the poster child for! But, I am not naive enough to ignore what is really going on here. I recognize that in trying to restore Representative Democracy, TPTB will use and try EVERYTHING to stop Bernie. He is a threat to their control over our government. They WANT HRC to win, that tells me all I need to know!
