I’m actually beginning to think that In an election, Sanders would be the more formidable RAT candidate. He is a Commie, but at least he’ semi-honest about his beliefs. Clinton OTOH, has not moral compass whatsoever and I think even RATs know that that isn’t a good thing for them either. Anyway, tomorrow, the relative numbers don’t matter. So Having to run against HIllary may be easier than Bernie.
What it boils down to is whether or not identity politics is still a viable ploy for the Democrats, because that’s all Hillary has to run on.
Sanders is ABSOLUTELY the more dangerous candidate. He has no choice to be because Hillary is the worst candidate ever to run for President.
In seriousness though, Sanders eat-the-rich populism masking his socialism will play well. The fact that he’s an absolute true believer will give him the ring of authenticity. People will vote for him just because they think he’s being honest about what he says.
We (should) want a knock down, drag out fight between Hillary and Bernie during which she has to resort to dirty tricks and wins, thus alienating Bernie’s core voters.
