Independents are the voters that can make or break an election. 42% of voters in this country identify as Independent. That's almost half of the voters in the country.

Bernie is winning in states where Trump can hammer Hillary on trade deals and Wall Street.

Bernie is the obvious choice for electability.

It confirms what I posted earlier. People who said they were independents voted 71-28 for Bernie, self described Democrats were 57-41 for Hillary.

He is drawing people not just based on his racism but based on his stance on trade and other similar economic issues.

Hillary will just fail against Hillary.

Out of Democrats irrationally bound to Hillary. Yes she can easily win the Democratic nomination but the General is another story.
