Serious question...does anyone really think Bernie Sanders would win a general election?

105. I think that the tone in the USA is one that makes it possible for that grumpy old man to win. He is

the only one really articulating the message around the issues. He isn't even close to the fence let alone setting on it. First I think people have finally learned their lesson about the Rs and the teabaggers. They want not more of business as usual - which means they do no want anymore do nothing leaders. The 1% has more than enough wealth and power. And people no longer believe their lies.

As to Hillary, the Rs have so much that they are going to use against her (true or not) that she has as good a chance as John Kerry had. And the Rs have the money to paper the walls with ads about how bad she is.

She also is getting some support from Wall Street but not nearly enough to counter the money that the big boys like the Koch brothers have. This cannot be a fight over who has the most money. We will most definitely lose that fight.

Yes, Bernie is older than Hillary. That is easily taken care of by selecting a good VP.

Yes, Bernie is Jewish - I don't think that will be a problem outside of the KKK.

And yes, Bernie has said that he believes in Democratic Socialism (not socialism). People are reading what he is saying in his messages all over the internet etc and they like it. We do not see the difference between his message and what the Democratic Party has always stood for. That can be taken care of through exposure to his ideas.

Yes, he does not have a lot of money to fight the campaign. I do not see that as a bad thing. That is what people want - money out of politics. And President Obama did not have the kind of money that his opponents did either. And in fact that is a plus to many voters.

He has no more of a chance of losing than Hillary does. It is ours to win.
