what percentage of the young vote, regardless of who is in the GE.

Will more young people vote than the last two elections? If so, that would be huge.

Doesn't that mean that Bernie is "Establishment", too??

I mean the story going around earlier today was that he's been in the government for 32 years.

The Super Delegate system was invented to protect the Establishment. The Super Delegates are all Part of the Establishment.

The thing more than any other that people find attractive about Trump is the perception that he's candid.

This is the primary thing that people dislike and distrust about Clinton. No one has the slightest idea what she'll do because the words that come out of her mouth are not highly correlated with what she actually does.

identified but not broadcast like Hillary's. Google "Michelle Goldberg", a frequent contributor to the Nation and other progressive publications, to see some still-obscure articles revealing devastating potential lines of Republican attack against Bernie that make Hillar's emails look like bad hair days. DUer wyldwolf extracted seven of these devastating potential attacks from a Goldberg Salon article this week. See his GDP post at http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511890988 and you'll understand why hagiography like the OP's could not withstand even cursory scrutiny.

I like to investigate both sides thoroughly.

You did not even click through my link to wyldwolf's eye-opening thread, did you?

All weak sauce stuff that won't play anymore than Jerrimiah Wright nonsense took down Obama.

And yes, I clicked through to the silly little list of things and not a single one of them would sway a single voter.

Speak for yourself, not every voter.

Unfortunately, since SBS would have to win more than 100 percent of remaining voters to overtake HRC, Bernie likely will continue to escape close examination of his opposition to K-12 public education, amber alerts etc.

Not a single one of those issues would sway a single solitary voter.

A self-proclaimed socialist and atheist who's never faced been attacked by the right on a national stage, has never been vetted, and has no interest in appealing to anyone outside the far left.

my A$$ you so funny

Sanders couldn't even win in the Democratic primary, where the electorate skews a long way to the left of what it will be in the general election.

free love, letting little children run naked and fondle each other, letting your 16 year old daughter run around having sex in your home (and you're a rotten prude if you want her to slow that roll), home schooling kids because schools suck and teachers are (expletive beginning with B deleted)s, that frigid women are the cause of their own cancer, etc., that smell of charring bread will be Bernie's Bernt Toast.

All this stuff is available online--and there's more out there that hasn't even been hauled in for examination. The VT FREEMAN is a treasure trove of "Bernie Musings" -- and boy, did he like to opine!

This guy is living in a dream world, but he has been for a long time, poor fellow. People don't know a damn thing about Bernie Sanders, and the more they learn, the less they like him.

same issue does not make two candidates qualified as much as a candidate with more qualifications.

Wasn't he screaming about all the Berniestans breaking off and forming a new party a couple of weeks ago? What happened to that?

Not exactly objective..........

I guess if that was true, he would have won the primary so useless polls notwithstanding...he lost.
