Vox: We asked 6 political scientists if Bernie Sanders would have a shot in a general election [View all]

http://www.vox.com/2016/2/5/10923304/bernie-sanders-general-election

It's such an insightful and worrisome article (for those of us who want to retain the White House) that I haven't bothered to cherry pick the best parts. It's all good and eye-opening. Please take the time to read it and share it with those you know who are on the fence.

Normally I would post this in GDP but it would just fall on deaf ears. It's an interesting read that could help explain why Democratic party officials are worried about Sanders as the nominee and why Democratic voters should be too. The Bernie Bunch have openly attacked the Democratic party and some have even admitted to not voting for President Obama in 2012. Hell, right now there's a thread in GDP entitled "Smash Clintonism: Why Democrats, Not Republicans, are the Problem." These people are rooting against the President, the Democratic party and the front-runner Hillary Clinton. They may be loud, very active on social media and claim to be more progressive, but we cannot let them hand victory to the Republicans in November.
