Obama was denounced as unelectable a decade ago. Also, how many countless people would have said then that he wasn't in Bill Clinton's league as a politician?

That said, you are comparing Sanders to an Obama who has been POTUS for 8 years.

Compare his resume to Obama's resume prior to being elected and you'll see Sander's resume is in no way over shadowed.

One guy has been the executive of a nation for 8 years the other an independent in the house. Of course one isn't in the league with the other.
