Bernie Sanders is giving Hillary Clinton a real run for the nomination

"But look at the bigger picture: It’s April and Clinton has not managed to put away a 74-year-old avowed socialist who wasn’t even a Democrat until he began his campaign. Why is that not worrisome?

Clinton’s disapproval rating is consistently higher than her approval numbers — an average of 55 percent to 40 percent, according to Huffpost Pollster. (This would be seen as a crisis if Trump’s disapproval numbers were not even higher.) Substantial numbers of voters say they do not trust her.

In isolation, let’s face it, she looks beatable in the fall. Fortunately for her, the Republican Party doesn’t look capable of beating anybody . But I wouldn’t want to bet everything on GOP dysfunction."
