1. Better someone who will try and might succeed,

than someone who can't be bothered to try at all.

[Fearless]

3. Bingo.

[Kelvin Mace]

13. I pushed for it back in the early 90s when

the Clintons co-opted the GOP's idea. Which makes it all the more puzzling as to why she opposes it today.

[Art_from_Ark]

17. When did Hillary try to get single-payer?

It certainly wasn't in 1993.

24. Nixon tried it back in 1974

[LemmingWarrior]

51. She failed miserably, but succeeded in

helping to past her idea of foreign policy by voting with the Bush Repugs to attack Iraq. Yeah, GO HILLARY [puck]

[peacebird]

54. Exactly.

[hack89]

2. He will be escorted in to meet President Clinton. I bet they have coffee. nt

[NurseJackie]

8. Ha!! :-D

[Politicalboi]

33. And those kids won't be there for her either

Viral, sounds like a disease

[workinclasszero]

27. Oh SNAP!

That made me laugh

[bravenak]

30. .

[cali]

4. Then we have a president who is not influenced by corporate interests

[OkSustainAg]

5. Start doing more work

on the House, the Senate, local elections, education, healthcare, wages....etc.

[TCJ70]

6. Then he starts bombarding the public with what is actually going on in Washington...

...and in 2-4 years we have majorities that will reprioritize people over corporations.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. For once, we will have a president that makes a priority of serving the public interest.

Rather than trying to please the corporate bosses who invest in political campaigns.

[Vinca]

9. If Bernie wins the White House, he'll fight for us.

I'd rather have a fighter than someone who goes along to get along. Think back to Bill Clinton's presidency. His major accomplishments were Republican bills he signed into law. NAFTA, welfare "reform," Wall Street deregulation. He did some good things, of course, but the bad things sure had a major negative impact on this country.

[malokvale77]

10. He'll get busy working for "us". nt

[kgnu_fan]

11. that is when our real work starts... remember what happened to Obama

CIA's John Brennan took over the transition team to "select" cabinet members, isolate Obama from the progressive / grassroots supporters... we cannot allow that to happen this time. Need to build pressure to keep him on our side before "they" build tall wall between us.

[LemmingWarrior]

52. Good assessment, but I don't believe

Sanders will be like President Obama, in that regard. You're right though, we'll keep the pressure on so that he doesn't forget why we sent him there.

[LiberalElite]

14. If Clinton gets into the WH, then what?

you think Repugs are suddenly going to want to get along with Her?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

20. Not a lot will happen

The Republicans will get their way and she will support everlasting wars. Revert all her policies to her original centrist stance.

[dana_b]

41. nothing except more money to the corporations

Wall Street and the banks. Oh - and maybe another war in the middle east.

[LemmingWarrior]

53. They'll love her

She's a Repug at heart, anyway.

[Barack_America]

16. Well, Kissinger doesn't get invited for tea, that's clear.

[Art_from_Ark]

21. I suspect that Lord Blankfein won't be on the guest list, either

[tokenlib]

18. The Wall Street insiders get kicked out..

The New Dem/ Third Way gets the marginalization THEY DESERVE..

And the Democratic Party returns to Progressive SANITY.

Bernie gets the conservatives who agree with isolationism to pass tariffs and laws to make American corporations who make their money in America, find it economically advantageous to bring the good jobs home. I think this is something Bernie could do..

[Jefferson23]

19. Among other great things to come..the Clintons will be politically finished, times 2. n/t

[Jefferson23]

29. Did you read the OP title? If Bernie gets into the WH, then what?

If he gets in, why would the Clinton's be needed, and for what? The Republicans
will take control..how does that happen with Bernie as POTUS?

What are you hysterical about, its a hypothetical question.

[Jefferson23]

36. Bernie will be good as POTUS, and the Clinton's can find something else to do...a win win. n/t

[Jefferson23]

40. If you want to brag about writing that, it is certainly your right. n/t

[Politicalboi]

38. Oh stop already

She won't have the youth vote either if they steal it from Bernie with Super Delegates. We see the flaw in your candidate, she is a liar and the "kiddies" know it.

[bobbobbins01]

46. I didn't realize the Clintons were all that stood between us and total republican domination.

Considering they're practically republicans themselves, and neither currently holds public office, that seems silly.

[bravenak]

28. Revolution

[Kalidurga]

32. And Hillary will give us more of the same

I guess that's okay if you aren't drowning in debt and don't have to worry about inconsequential things like food, gas money, and paying for inhalers.

[RiverLover]

37. We get someone who is working in the voters' interests. Hasn't happened in a very long time.

eom

[lumberjack_jeff]

39. Then Emperor Trump won't be picking Scalia's replacement.

This would seem to be enough reason, wouldn't it?

[First Speaker]

42. Is it remotely possible he becomes America's Salvador Allende...?

...I say this as a Sanders supporter. But just imagine what the right-wing diarrhea machine will do if a Jewish Socialist gets into the White House. Look at the opposition to the Kenyan Muslim Communist usurper...it would be much worse with Bernie. Could "it" happen here? Could it mutate into something really dangerous? None of this is intended as an argument against him, and at best the possibility is a long-shot. But I'd bet anything Sanders himself has given it at least a thought or two. With some bad luck and a serious recession...we could be in for Interesting Times...

[TeeYiYi]

43. Party at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave!...

TYY

[Art_from_Ark]

50. There'll be Dancing in the Street

[Live and Learn]

44. Then we work hard to help Bernie get progressive policies passed.

Of course, we won't be able to count on everyone to help, will we?

And let me add, better someone that doesn't get anything passed than Hillary screwing up the economy with more wars and corporate welfare which are the only things she will get passed.

[liberal N proud]

55. All the BS supporters get a wake up call

That all that was promised and all that they dreamed about isn't going to happen.

[Gothmog]

56. Sorry, Bernie Sanders. There is zero evidence of your ‘political revolution’ yet

No one has seen any evidence of the so-called Sanders revolution https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/10/sorry-bernie-sanders-there-is-zero-evidence-of-your-political-revolution-yet/

Bernie Sanders recorded a resounding victory in New Hampshire's Democratic primary Tuesday. He crushed his rival, Hillary Clinton, with no less than 60 percent of the vote. If Sanders hopes not only to win the election but to achieve his ambitious progressive agenda, though, that might not be enough.

To succeed, Sanders might have to drive Americans who don't normally participate to the polls. Unfortunately for him, groups who usually do not vote did not turn out in unusually large numbers in New Hampshire, according to exit polling data.

https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=&w=1484

...As for Sanders, he credited his victory to turnout. "Because of a huge voter turnout -- and I say huge -- we won," he said in his speech declaring victory, dropping the "h" in "huge." "We harnessed the energy, and the excitement that the Democratic party will need to succeed in November."

In fact, Sanders won by persuading many habitual Democratic primary voters to support him. With 95 percent of precincts reporting their results as of Wednesday morning, just 241,000 ballots had been cast in the Democratic primary, fewer than the 268,000 projected by New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner last week. Nearly 289,000 voters cast ballots in the state's Democratic primary in 2008.

To be sure, the general election is still seven months away. Ordinary Americans might be paying little attention to the campaign at this point, and if Sanders wins the nomination, he'll have the help of the Democratic Party apparatus in registering new voters. The political revolution hasn't started, though, at least not yet.

Without this revolution, I am not sure how Sanders proposes to advance his unrealistic agenda

[rock]

57. The first thing I thought of was

Just joking. Bernie would be a lot better than George w or his brother, what's his name.
