Hillary will be the nominee two years hence. Not Warren. Not Sanders.

170. All settled?

If there is no doubt about Hillary wining the Democratic nomination then the only real question is will Bernie Sanders run a third party challenge?
Neither the democrats nor the republicans have an argument that will stand up against Bernies populist call for social reform, economic justice, opportunity and jobs. Neither does either party have a candidate who can speak to these issues believably.
Many democrats and republicans feel abandoned by their governments endless foreign wars, bank bailouts and corporate subsidies on the taxpayer dime. It is commonly understood that both parties favor the wealthy elite, and that the majority of citizens have no say and no representation in congress , in the white house, or on the courts.
If Bernie can fashion a message that appeals to both dems and repubs who are dealing with the same sense of disillusion and abandonment by their parties, then it becomes a question of should Bernie run not to split the democratic vote giving the victory to the republicans but to beat them both and win the presidency.

Victory or defeat here is clearly in the hands of the democrats. A failure to heed the left wing of the party and to incorporate their demands, treating them like fucking retards could be fatal for Hillary. The dismissive arrogance that I have seen expressed by the democratic party loyalists here does not bode well for Democrats.
