Here are my concerns about a Bernie candidacy ... [View all]

I'm posting this because I am really undecided between Bernie, HRC and O'Malley. To this point, I have not heard any convincing arguments to satisfy/address/remove my concerns. I'm hoping that someone can address them.

Of paramount concern, for 2016, I want a Democrat (or, someone that caucuses with Democrats) to win the White House, so:

1) How does Bernie mount a national campaign? It would be nice if sufficient funds could be raised $40 at a time, to fund a national campaign; but, that is, clearly, not the case.

2) How will Bernie convince a critical mass of voters that he will be more effective in his fight for economic justice, as President; than, he was as a legislator? None (very little) of his agenda can be accomplished through Executive Order/Action, and he really hasn't shown much of a track record for winning over his legislative peers on those issues.

3) Will he deviate from his economic primacy message to speak to those not already on board with that message? Like it, or not ... the economic primacy message is perceived by (most) PoC, and plenty of women, LGBTs, and other "others", as an exclusionary message, as it does not address the issues that most closely touch our lives.

I realize that all of these concerns can be addressed through greater exposure ... which gets me back to, concern and point #s 1.
