Nothing at all wrong with Bernie except....he's not electable. Let's get serious and not allow a Repugnent to get the nod.

Yes, nobody should vote for someone who tells the truth. We need a liar for President. Again.... and again. If any politician tells the truth or is honest they clearly are not electable, so vote for the liar instead. Often this is the case. Anyone remember Nixon? Johnson? - liars both.
Jon Stewarts version of that issue: [Click to View YouTube Video]
The question you folks asking "but is Sanders electable" is this: "Is Hillary electable"?

Hillary smiles too much; it's not in her character.
Bernie really should not have posted his selfie in his bedroom in front of his Robespierre poster.

Jon Stewart really needs to complete a challenge on "Naked and Afraid" to provide some actual credibility to his schtick . . . Lot of talk and little tangible action.

I'm on Team Bernie, and have donated twice to his campaign. He has a chance. He'd be great. Carry on...

Berny Vs Billary
Bernie Sanders first rose to elective office in 1981 and holds an elected position to this day. Sanders has served as an elected official for a total of 34 years and counting, which is 19 more than the average 2016 presidential candidate (15 years).
For Mr. Sanders is a wisdom of politics.
Hillary Clinton first rose to elective office in 2001 and stepped down from an elected position in 2009. Clinton has served as an elected official for a total of 8 years, which is 7 less than the average 2016 presidential candidate (15 years).
Along with being first lady, she did sit on the board at Wallmart, and authored a book in her off years. And she proved she's ok with adultery.
For Mrs. Clinton is a wisdom of ?
She might make for a good vice-prez for Berny tho;)

really Blu?
In addition to being the United States Senator from New York State, she also served
as the United States Secretary of State
pretty damn impressive resume
and especially so when compared to the pathetically weak field of Republican wannabees

On the Republican side:
Bush - 3 Bushes can't make it right. This one couldn't even figure out how to answer The Inevitable Question: given what you know now, would you support your village idiot brother's war on Iraq? He hadn't figured out a month before he declared how he'd answer it?
Ted Cruz - full blown case of hoof in mouth disease. Thinks he can ignore the Supreme Court. Even though he clerked for Rehnquist. He recruited Justice Roberts, a supposedly safe conservative. Roberts has gotten smarter and more decent as he's matured. Unlike Cruz.
Rand Paul - half far right, the other half idiotic. Gives the military the jeebies.
Trump - it's great to see him tying his opponents' knickers in a twist. With his high poll ratings he's making a mockery of the G.O.P. The rest of the civilized world is aghast. Gives Wall Street AND the military nightmares.
Fiorina - sunk one of the most respected companies in America. Lot's of good leadership and judgement there.
Jyndall - can't even make a decent home movie. Thinks he can disband the Supreme Court.
Christie: Bridgegate won't really go away. And smooching with Obama after Hurricane Sandy has sunk him before he starts. He's worked with and buddied up to a dozen or more thugs, crooks and mobsters. Has put several into state office. Talk about dirty laundry......Jumbo Size.
This crowd makes John McCain look good. And McCain's definitely better than any of this lot.
On the Democratic side:
Jim Webb: stuck his foot in his mouth yesterday about Confederate symbolism. Even though he's an Admiral the military don't like him much. No pizazz
Lincoln Chafee: nice guy, experienced Senator. Even less pizazz. No chance.
Hillary: smart politician, connected, connected, connected. More foreign policy experience and smarts than any three of the others together. Lots of big money. Right wingnuts despise her. Left wing don't really trust her either. Can she pull enough middle votes? Military has had a lot of pretty good experience with her as Secretary of State.
I might well vote for her.
Bernie: smart politician, knows his way around the Senate, good sense in fiscal matters, good consensus builder (how else could an avowed socialist get anything done?), heart and head in the right place and most importantly Gives a Da&&N about you and me. Scooping up non-voters and disaffected Democrats by the bushel. The military likely can't figure out what to make of him.
No sign of hoof in mouth disease yet.
I might well vote for him.
Depends on which one I think can beat the Republitards. And yes, I do think all the Republican candidates are retarded. No one who'd be a really good President wants to lead the party that the Tea Party sunk.

So you have no problem voting for a proven liar that has taken payoffs from every smarmy character on the planet?
