It's almost impossible to tell in the early stages. I'd argue that this political revolution was started by Occupy.

Bernie is saying what he has always said. It happens to dovetail with the current zeitgueist. Very different from hill's weathervane pandering.

I think Hillary will be the nominee and lose us the White House. But if she does manage to win, she'll have to contend with a senator with a liberal army.
