Bernie Sanders is the real deal. He says exactly what he believes (as goofy as his ideas might be). He will not pander. He will not hedge his bets. Hillary, on the other hand, is the classic plastic candidate. She will mold her opinions to whatever is popular at the moment. She will take corporate money with one hand, while slapping those same corporations with the other.
Liberals are starting to realize all this. So it's Hillary's power vs. Bernie's momentum. As of now, my money is (ugh) on Hillary.
From my absolutely, positively non-scientific sampling of chatter across the internet, which includes Facebook, Twitter and various forums, people are actually buzzing about three candidates - Trump, Cruz & Sanders. And not necessarily in that order. What do all three have in common? They're straight shooters - love or hate them or what they say, people are chatting and posting away about those three. Hillary is the butt of jokes and derision, Jebbie B. is MIA. In an image search across the internet there are a lot of photoshop Hillary jokes floating around out there. Saw a lezbo on Facebook post one with an accompanying comment like 'here's a hottie for ya! lol!', the responses were along the lines of 'auugh my eyes!', 'what has been seen cannot be unseen' and so forth. Her support for all practical purposes is from the media, because I'm not seeing it at a personal level. About this far out in time from the 2008 election as we are from the 2016 election right now, it was Obama mania - stuff all over the internet, soccer moms had Obama crap all over their Myspace pages, the shirts, the hats and I personally saw idiots on two separate occasions driving cars that had been completely covered with Obama/Biden stickers. It was off the hook. Am not seeing such electricity for the Hillary at a personal grassroots basis, anywhere. Not even a lousy bumper sticker. Obama was marketed as the cool, hip, young outsider guy, and it worked. Boy did it work. Hillary? "Forward - to the 1990's!"
