what do you think? Does Sanders have a chance?
 
No and I'm sure he knows he can't.

Still, Hillary as the democratic nom. :(
 
CAN he? I don't know, but I hope he does. It would be entertaining to see Her Majesty foaming at the mouth in anger.
 
I don't think this country is ready for a socialist for president but he sure could take some votes away from ther "Iron Maiden." Hillary

He is running as a Democrat. He won't be taking any votes from Hillary.
 
Can he? Yes. At this point not knowing who else will run, yes. I would vote for him. I'll never vote for Hillary.
 
Nope. As much as I would love to see it, it just wont happen. Most likely gonna end up voting 3rd party this election when it comes to the general
.
 
Sanders is running for one reason. He's got something to say. What he has to say won't be heard otherwise. If this is what he has to do...more power to him. I think some will be surprised at the number of people who are really sick of the Clintons and would vote for Bernie...if nothing else but to make a collective political statement that enough is enough of the Clinton Dynasty.
 
You ever heard of the nomination process?

Sure. But the people who would vote for Bernie in the primaries would not likely vote for Hillary in the primaries. They are nowhere near each other on the political spectrum. The people who would consider voting for Sanders, such as I, wouldn't even bother voting in the primaries if someone like him wasn't in it. It isn't like if he wasn't running we would just vote for Hillary.

In short, I think Hillary has just as much chance of winning the nomination with Bernie in it as she has without him. I am still glad he is in it, though. It will make the primary debates more interesting and he will at least try to keep Clinton honest.

He could win if he got the nomination, but that is not very likely to happen. His presence in the race will make Hillary a much better candidate.
 
Hillary could crash and burn just as she did in 08, but it's hers to lose given current evidence.

I agree, but I worry she'll be just like Obama was in '08, where he was a great candidate, and then DINO'd on us in office, and in '12 rinse repeat.

Sanders is literally running as a DINO.;)

Maybe so, but the real prize for the next president is the nomination of maybe 3 Supreme Court justices. We don't want a Republican picking them.

Well that' true enough, though his platform is more in line with what Democrats expect than the corporate lapdogs known as BlueDogs which Hillary has been and Obama became.
 
what do you think? Does Sanders have a chance?

No, I do not think he has a chance to get a nomination that has already been negotiated, however
he can certainly bring forth discussion on all the issues that Big Money does not want in the Media.
He's a Democratic Socialist and that translates to somenone looking out for the interests of the
people, not the CORPORATIONS. A friggin' breath of fresh, uncorrupted air stepping into a steaming
cauldron of pig crap.

I agree. Much better candidate than Hillary, but will never get the nomination.

Didn't a political nobody like Obama win the democratic nomination? If the media has their mouths on Sanders' testicles like the do Obama's testicles then he can most certainly win the nomination.

Bingo. Which is why I am willing to elect a moderate democrat despite my own political views and preferences for a true liberal.

Clinton honest, you have to joking. If Sanders takes even one vote from her in the primary..........It will be worth it.

Well, I said he would try to keep her honest. :)

I think people are really tired of Hillary....He might not win but he could take a big part of her vote away.
