12. Also from the article above is this about Sanders:

"SANDERS IS OUTPERFORMING CLINTON IN GENERAL ELECTION POLLS - David Lightman: “Unimaginable at the start of the campaign, Bernie Sanders might be a stronger general election candidate for the Democrats than Hillary Clinton. He leads Donald Trump nationally by 20 points right now in a hypothetical general election matchup, more than double her 9-point lead, according to the latest McClatchy-Marist poll. He leads Sen. Ted Cruz by 12, while she is locked in a tie with the Texan....Sanders outperforms Clinton over Trump in the swing states of Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well. And underlining all that: the independent senator from Vermont energizes and excites younger voters, he’s not dogged by an FBI investigation into use of a private email server and his anti-establishment message is perfectly pitched to the key of 2016. That’s not to say that would last.” [McClatchy]

"Why that may not mean he’s a stronger candidate - More from Lightman: “So far, Sanders has largely escaped serious criticism from Clinton, the news media, or Republicans…..Sanders is enjoying politics’ first impression syndrome, a honeymoon period in which he’s been seen as fresh, authentic and genuinely angry at Wall Street and income inequality....Should Sanders become the party’s nominee, Clinton’s barbs will be just the warmup act, as Sanders gets grilled over his big, expensive ideas and liberal voting record….’The less you know about a person, the more positive you’re going to feel,’ said [Larry] Sabato [director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics]. ‘Sanders really hasn’t been vetted yet.’” [McClatchy]

Go Bernie!!!
