Trump 41%, Clinton 39%

227. Bernie Sanders is great because he has a great platform that most people

can genuinely get behind and be excited about. I guess I'm little more than a moronic, idealistic unicorn, but it seems to me that if our politicians actually put things in place that benefit the American people instead of Wall St. and the MIC, this nation would be a hell of a lot better off. I know that if Bernie's platform was in place, I would sure as hell be better off, as would my family.

The thing about Bernie is that if he was 20 years younger, he'd have sewn up the nomination by now. But he is not. He is an aging Baby Boomer who still has the ideals that reflected the very best of our generation, and who never sold out.

Clinton is NOT the best candidate to field against Trump. While I cannot imagine how anyone could vote Trump, just because of the snake oil, I can easily imagine people not being excited

at all

about a Clinton candidacy.

The problem, of course, is as left as she's gone in this primary, if we actually look at her past record and pronouncements, the only conclusion we can come to is that she's not being truthful and will pivot hard right AS SOON AS SHE'S THE NOMINEE.

This is why I'm supporting Bernie to the end and am glad he's going to stay in it until the convention and contest the nomination.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS HAD A RECTAL-CRANIAL INSERTION PROBLEM SINCE IT BECAME THIRD WAY AND IT NEEDS TO GET BACK TO THE NEW DEAL 'FOR THE PEOPLE' IDEALS IT ONCE HAD. OR ELSE IT WILL DIE.
