I recall in 2008 I was delighted Hillary was losing nearly every week. I figured there was no way a black inexperienced incompetent senator from my home State could ever get elected in the general.

Be carefuL what you wish for smacked me in the face then, so I'm a little more on guard now.

It looks to me that Trump will likely get the Repub nomination. I know so many Dems who said they would never vote for Clinton, and he would destroy her in the general. Trump will get lots of crossover democratic votes. That wouldn't happen if Bernie wins.

If she gets indicted, then all bets are off. Uncle Joe could be formidable especially if Pocahontas is the VP.

That was the thing about Obama. I remember the hype around him and about him being the first black President, all his “hope and change” talk, the way people flocked after him, and I was worried. I do feel worried again because while Bernie is an old white man, he’s one that is generating a lot of support among the youth with his anti-establishment buzz and promises to punish the rich and give away freebies.

I do think Trump could get some anti-establishment Dems if Hillary gets the nod that he won’t get with Bernie. I recall in New Hampshire the media saying there were people that were trying to decide between Bernie and Trump, odd as that sounds. However, maybe there is a converse and more moderate Dems won’t be comfortable electing a socialist and won’t want Bernie. Although, I kind of doubt it with as far left as that party is.
