Can't be Obama or Bill Clinton.. they are too "corporate". Carter?? I dont think so. I guess we may have to go all way back to Kennedy or maybe for some Roosevelt. Seems there are few who would measure up the standards the Bernie people have set.
Many argue that the party no longer represents being Democratic. Seems to me the party has been like this ever since I can remember and I suspect I am quite a bit older than the typical Bernie supporter. So I don't get it... most of them haven't even experienced a "real Democrat" in the White House.
I think its more likely they are simply angry, they want to shake up the system, make some serious changes.. and they think Hillary wont do that. That may or may not be true.. but its not correct, in my opinion, to say the Democratic Party no longer represents Democratic ideals. That's simply ridiculous.
