(4,558 posts)President. I will agree that they likely hate her more than Senator Sanders.. for now. If he gets the nomination, that's pretty certain to change.
As has been pointed out MANY times right here on this board.. Senator Sanders is a political outsider. It's your side that's said that and what they've tried to sell people on from the beginning.
As I've told people in other threads, i'm more focused on the House and senate races, especially in the battleground states, than I am for the Presidency.
If the House or Senate remains Republican majority, neither Sanders NOR Clinton will get much progress done. I feel Clinton may actually get a few things done, because she is more willing to compromise than Sanders. She'll likely be despised for the compromise by some (much like President Obama got a lot of heartburn because he had to sacrifice single payer to get the ACA passed).
In the highly Unlikely event that the Senate and House goes back into Democrat control, I do feel we'd see some great things come out of either Clinton or Sanders. This is likely where we diverge in belief. Because there is no filibuster proof list of liberal Democrats that's even possible coming out of the 115th congress... many of these bills will still require some compromise because, as we all know too well, not ALL people in either the senate or house with a (D) by their name is liberal or progressive. That, again is where I think Clinton, being the political insider, will have an additional edge over Senator Sanders.
If we ever actually get a Progressive Democrat majority in the House, and a filibuster proof progressive Democrat majority in the Senate.. I absolutely believe either of these candidates would be INCREDIBLE successes.
