Not wanting a fight.

I just want to know that devout Sanders supporters will support the Democratic candidate if it isn't Sanders.


Because I'll vote Sanders in the general if it is him.

I am puzzled why other candidates can’t match that. I think he will likely win the primary this time, cause he doesn’t even need 30% to win in many states. The polls are real, I can see the sea change in California where I thought it would be unimaginable for him to win, I now believe he will win CA, NY, TX, NV, CO, AZ, WA, OR, PA, MI, WI, ME, VT, maybe even FL.
I think Biden is overplaying his support among minorities. Many young black voters, especially college students are likely to support BS. Biden’s vote is divided into Klobuchar, Pete and Warren, and now Bloomberg too. None of them are going to drop out, they’ll have plenty of money all the way to the convention.

In all honesty, the policies of any dem candidate this election cycle are irrelevant to me. Presidents don’t legislate, congress does. He can propose MFA, free college, loan forgiveness, etc. But all of these programs will require
senate and house support. Maybe even 2/3 of senate unless they get rid of that rule.

Howard Dean pretty much established that that rally crowds don’t relate to votes in 2004, so I discount them.

Obama held a rally, about 100000 showed up. The obama crowd was much more diverse from what I can see from the photo. Obama has people of all ages and races and far more Hispanics.

I think that is an issue with Bernie. He has not built a big enough coalition to win the nom outright.
