Sanders is a old white man who has been in politics his whole life, he is the quintissential career politician. I thought this was the very species democrats said was going extinct and was on the way out, history was going to overrun old white men. The very species that America no longer wants.
After Hilary is indicted the dems will probably have no one but sanders to put on the ballot. It will be too late to get anyone else on the ballot. Maybe the convention can put vp Biden at,the head of the ticket but either way dems will be in deep doo doo.
Sanders only appeal is to white liberals in college towns and old Vermont hippies. He has no pull in the minority precincts or with women so the dems are toast if he is the candidate. Arthur Laffer, the Reagan economist, was quoted today as saying he thinks republicans will win in a landslide, winning 47 states because of,the anger of the American people. I wouldn't go that far, but if Bernie is the nominee, that is entirely possible.
I do agree with the other posters, Bernie is absolutely sincere in his belief in a socialist state. There is no subterfuge, he honestly believes in his anti American socialist state.
