...and I would agree with most of what you have stated.

But let me respond in this way:

One of the major differences in Bernie Sanders and Obama (as a fellow Progressive) is their willingness to fight. I don't think that anyone out there would deny the fact that Bernie will fight for what he believes in to his last breath. Will he win his battles? I don't know. You correctly point out that the opposition would be formidable. It will help that Bernie has promised to use the bully pulpit to full advantage.

The point here is that I can count on Bernie to fight with everything he has. I have not felt that same sense of fight in Hillary...or at least I not sure if she is completely sincere.
