Bernie Sanders Defeats Trump By a Wider Margin Than Clinton in a General ElectionAs a lifelong Democrat against perpetual American counterinsurgency wars in the Middle East, the prospect of a hawkish Democrat or Donald Trump as Commander in Chief isn't acceptable to me, especially when America has a candidate for president who says "I'll be damned" if we send more ground troops back to failed wars.
There are many reasons I'm voting for Bernie Sanders over Trump or Clinton, and I explain these reasons in a recent YouTube segment, however Vermont's Senator will win the Democratic nomination because he's the only chance Democrats have in 2016. I highlight why only Bernie Sanders can defeat Donald Trump in my latest YouTube segment, in addition to why Clinton would have a difficult time against the billionaire.
So why is Bernie our only hope in preventing Trump from ever having a catastrophic encounter with Putin?
First, Real Clear Politics states definitively that polls show Bernie Sanders winning by a wider margin than Clinton over Trump:

better than anything Hillary could do.
