U.K. Independant: Donald Trump will win the presidency by a landslide (against Hillary)

70. Yes, Sanders inspires people.

If the situation was a bit different I believe he would be our nominee.

Seeing as how he started out with very little name recognition, was working through a DNC who most certainly was not interested in working with him (naturally, since he is a democratic socialist combined with the fact that they're loyal toward Clinton), and the primary/caucus process ISN'T the most inclusive process around it's not terribly surprising that he couldn't overcome all of those factors in such a short amount of time. That's not to say he clearly hasn't inspired people. He'd have been much more electable in a general election as republicans would have been much more likely vote for him over Clinton.

Also, fundraising. He was neck and neck with Clinton in fundraising until recently, despite the fact that Clinton is pretty much the most well known woman on Earth. He did this with smaller donations as opposed to large corporate fundraisers which Clinton relied on. Who knows how she's going to pay that back if she's elected, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to help people in my situation.

Anyway, yes. Yes he inspired people. My hope is that he continues to speak out. I'm glad he's endorsing liberal candidates to keep an eye on instead of sitting on his hands.
