I’m torn as to whether I want us to face Bernie or Hillary. The prospect of a Hillary presidency is so sickening to me that I fond it fascinating that a somewhat honest socialist seems less risky, even though he “polls better”

They both may be replaced with more viable candidates at the Democrat Convention - Biden or Elizabeth Warren.

We cannot have either a Jeb or hillary presidency at this time. If the Presidency is handed over to a dynasty, the will is not going to be there to try to turn the nation around.

These are the two political families that did just fine while the nation is being left in ruins.

If either one is nominated, do you doubt that the results will be rigged in their favor?

I don’t think Bernie would deliberately try to destroy America, where Hillary would sell the launch codes to the highest bidder.

Republicans have done a horrible job in explaining just how catastrophic socialism is. Also you have the education system where six-figure earning leftist professors continue to preach and romanticize the perceived benefits of socialism.

That's why Sanders is popular. Because instead of making an emotional argument against socialism - that it has literally killed millions of people in the 20th century alone - Republicans like to talk statistics and debate minutiae.

As an honest socialist, he'll be thoroughly hobbled by both parties in Congress. Sanders will get nothing accomplished. He'll be a placeholder president, keeping the lights on at the White House.

I'm more concerned about the future of an America that will elect Bernie Sanders as president than I am about Bernie Sanders himself.
