3. This is why I think Sanders actually has a chance.

Compare this to the post showing how Sanders was saying the exactly the same things 26 years ago that he says today. There's no doubt as to what his core beliefs are. HRC seems like an opportunist by comparison, a typical finger-in-the-air politician. People talk about how Sanders can move her to the left. But if she suddenly "finds religion" and embraces more liberal positions, are most people really going to prefer that to someone who has been saying these things for decades? Whether it's NAFTA, IWR, PATRIOT Act, whatever, Sanders has been on the right side all along, and can say that he was right when it counted, whereas HRC often only sees 20/20 in hindsight.
