In reply to the discussion: Bernie just proved [View all]larkrake
(1,674 posts)which make up 1/3rd of the electorate by the way, will be forced to choose.They cannot vote in closed primaries, so do not be saying Hillary has more votes-she does not. Indies are folks who are not reactionary, rather they do their homework, are thinkers and are neither blue nor red so are our revolution voters, the future. The "Partys" are just the corrupt teams filled with dominant liars, users and takers(Congress) and the Indies have only two reps in the senate.Both are really well liked as humans.
The DNC will be stupid and will let Hillary take the nom, But she is handicapped.
Hillary does not inspire enthusiasm, in fact she inspires nausea,because;
She did nothing in the senate but name a post office, a street and a school. She is only known for corruption and corporate loyalties, a bad marriage and a shady Foundation. No one has faith in her decision making or leadership abilities.Congress will not support her ideas or legislation any more than Obama's, in fact, most of the Dems wont support her.World leaders consider her a non-entity.
She cannot defend herself against Trumps exaggerations. He is a master at creating doubt. She is a master of only revenge.Her lies are sooooo obvious, Trump lies plant seeds of doubt.
Trump has a record of successes when Hillary has known so many defeats.
No, I do not admire Trump- hes a sick man who hates women, minorities and equality. Yet the hard fact is he inspires voters to show up- Hillary doesn't.
Bernie is a good man, has no criminal past, inspires men, women, minorities, reasonable repubs, dems and most of the Independents. He can defend against anything Trump throws at him, cant be baited, and isnt unknown. Congress will listen because he knows their skeletons. Even if he just gets the ball rolling on his issues, its better than Hillary's corporate loyalties, and general ignorance of reality.
I have lived all over the world. With either Hill or Trump, I see the US becoming even more of a tar pit, dragging everyone down, infrastructure and environment wont be addressed, it will bring the extinction of mankind over the edge
