We have a Phenomenal candidate in Bernie Sanders who unlike his "Frontrunning" opponent, is free from the potential General Election scourge of SCANDAL.

There is not even the slightest potential hint of impropriety in Bernie, so why risk massive defeat with a candidate who is so undeniably fatally flawed in the eyes of a solid majority of Americans... even as the so called "Lesser Evil" candidate which is so often the Establishment "Engineered" case.

Just ONCE it would be nice for the voters to choose their preferred candidate rather than have it "selected" for us by the unholy alliance of the Corporatist Oligarchy and their MSM mouthpieces.
