The "Non-Establishment" guy who has been in the Congress for 25 years and joined the Dem Party.

In Congress for 25 years.

Suddenly JOINED the "Establishment" Dem Party, I guess, because he wanted to be anti-Establishment.

Like anyone else has had to compromise on legislation over the years.

And what are the anti-"Establishment" credentials? Well, they include for many years trashing the very party he has now JOINED because he knew he wouldn't have a hope in hell without it, and slamming everyone from Kennedy to Mondale to Obama even to the point of trying to get Obama tossed out in a presidential primary.

Bernie is putting the issues of income inequality and political reform front and center which is good. But he has also WAY over-done the "Establishment" meme, and he has engaged in hypocrisy.

Hillary Clinton is brilliant, PROGRESSIVE, and the most qualified candidate on EITHER side who isn't promising things she knows have no chance of passing. PROGRESSIVE means PROGRESS, not pie in the sky good-sounding stuff that riles people up but will not happen.

And I am still waiting to hear about how he's putting together a REAL, longterm, sustained "revolution" that will actually get things done. Will the Bernie supporters actually commit to YEARS of BRUTALLY HARD movement work with real organization and planning for the long haul, or is it all just bluster? The campaign ends, and everyone goes home. Tell me how this is actually being formed the LONG TERM.

2. Progressive means progress?

If it's in the wrong direction, well... win a few, lose a few, I guess.

3. You don't want the answers.

You have said a version of the same thing in countless posts.

You have asked for answers and have been given them.

Nobody gives a rat's ass about your questions at this point. One can only answer them a few times before it getting old.

Most qualified? One term Senator and Horrific Secretary of State. Jeb Bush's resume looks as good as that one and in no way do I think his is good

4. Obama had been a Senator for what, 700 days when he decided he was qualified to run for President?

I'd say that was pretty "pie in the sky" stuff with not much concrete being proposed (at least not much that actually turned out the way he sold it in the campaign), but overall it's worked out pretty good compared to the "experienced" governor before him.

7. I've always found party loyalty as a means of control. It's much better to remain

loyal to ideas. People, parties, and other exclusive organizations tend to change with the wind.
