He thinks we should care about others and despises those who buy their way to power. What a fool....

What is not true about what he is saying?
When it comes to 'likeability', 'compassion', 'trustworthiness' and 'most likely to represent me' Bernie Sanders is beating Clinton nationally.
Bernie Sanders is the only candidate, Republican or Democrat, with positive 'Trustworthiness' numbers nationally.
Bernie Sanders is the only Democrat that beats all teapublicans in a General Election contest.
Bernie Sanders is considered 'electable' by over 70% of voters nationally.
Bernie Sanders has received more individual donations than any presidential candidate in history.
He out fundraised, from individual donors, every candidate running for president in January.

no Democratic Party presidential candidate has ever won the presidency negative on these numbers.

Hillary Clinton is negative, nationally, on these key numbers of 'likeability', 'compassion', 'trustworthiness' and 'most likely to represent me'.

Per analysis from Lawrence O'Donnell, she has never managed to turn a negative into a positive.

All these things are true MohRokTah. They are not outlier polls. They have been the results in poll after poll.

Exit polls from every state so far stated the same thing. Sanders as won those items every time.
She lost Independents by 3 to 1. You don't win national elections without independents.

Your only hope, in a General Election, is people hate tRump more than Hillary. So far, in one-on-one match up polling she is losing to tRump (fyi...Sanders is beating all match ups).
