I'm voting for Hillary---but I won't bash Bernie.

60. I have posted on this question and believe there is a path

Firstly, consider that anyone who will win the Republican primary needs to be hard right. I believe that person will be Jeb Bush, with many more negatives than Rmoney, not the least of which is his family history. The Republican nominee will need to be against gay marriage, which Jeb has already come out against with his support of the Pence bill. He has come out for immigration which his party hates so many conservatives might wish to stay home, but an argument can be made that Hillary will fire up their base.

More important is electoral college math. Money can't buy everything, no matter how much that meme is hammered. The electoral map shows that blue states make up the majority of the electoral college, so in summary, a Democrat walks into the general with 257 votes and a Republican has 149. That means that a Republican must win every swing state and a solidly blue state. A Democrat only needs to win one large swing state or two smaller ones (Obama won both). It's just plain arithmetic.

The electorate has changed. It's getting even more liberal, but you wouldn't know it based on our representatives or the MSM. A majority approve of "socialist" programs such as Social Security and Medicare. An overwhelming majority approve of gay marriage. All this fear that one must raise a billion dollars because of attack ads is nothing but hype. They will scream about Socialism!, his hair, his age, etc. But they can't attack his record of working for the 99%. And this nation would be crayzay to run and vote for another fucking Bush. Even Republicans hate him.

So yes, there is a path. If people (and Democrats) support him rather than just voting for the candidate with the most money, he can win. But the party is already showing they have a chosen candidate and will do their best for her to win. She means too much money flowing through the system. The MSM will want all that cash from both sides. If we believe that only corporate backed candidates can win, they we truly have lost our democracy.
