(53,162 posts)The last Democratic candidate to promise to raise taxes if he was elected was Walter Mondale. Vice President Mondale lost all but one state, and Mondale didn't have albatrosses around his neck like never having worked as anything but a politician, getting evicted for stealing electricity from his landlord, being a deadbeat dad, honeymooning in the Soviet Union, flying to Nicaragua to apologize to an enemy of the United States for America's foreign policy, two trips to Cuba, having a wife that bankrupted a college, or working on the only Marxist kibbutz in all Israel.
The GOP also knows all that, and they'd use it against him. The race would be over in August.
Hillary has a long track record of going up against Republicans and winning. Bernie Sanders can't even win the state he was born in.
