(975 posts)People know Bernie is honest because he's the only candidate in your lifetime that will look you in the eyes and tell you "the rich are screwing you." When he says that you know he's honest. Add in that he doesn't take campaign contributions from pacs or corporations and he may be the ONLY honest man is politics.
Clinton on the other hand? She has boxed herself into a corner and she's in serious trouble. She's still a powerful opponent but she likely won't be elected after what we've seen this week. Very disgraceful for a Democrat.

Happened during her book tour.
Happening now.
Will happen even more in the general.
Will she lose the general if she is the nominee? I hope not, but I am far from sanguine about it.
Contradistinctively, the more people see of Bernie, the more his numbers go up.

(975 posts)What we're beginning to see is stage 5 of grief. They're moving into the acceptance stage. I've read or seen at least a half dozen people who gave him no chance come out and say that Bernie will probably win the WH. It's bandwagon time and there will be rush of people if voters believe Clinton can't win.
Bernie Sanders is a power house in American politics. He won his last election with 71% of the vote. I don't care what state you're in that's a titanic amount in today's divided political system. Well done Bernie.

(6,994 posts)especially Bill and knowing this is a real problem for them and especially after the Iowa loss
(yes loss because the Iowa Democratic Party only recounted 14 precincts out of 1680 and Bernie gained yes Hillary lost by the Democrats refusing to recount all)
this is the reason for the Karl Rove campaign tactics and Bill, the wind up toy, trashing Bernie.
