Bernie's Biggest Hurdle

[RobertEarl]

Is: He may not be able to win.

Well, until the elections are over, every candidate stands the same.

So, at this point, many months off from when the actual voting takes place, it is a possibility that anyone could win the election.

The claims that Bernie can't win due to lack of money are bogus. Bernie could raise plenty of money in the near future, and there is no stopping rich people from running their own ads for Bernie, or against his opposition.

From my vantage of 30+ years of observation of elections, it is my measured estimate that the grassroot wind under Bernie's wings is going to carry him far. I have never seen anything like what I see blowing in the wind. It's like a hurricane, this wind.

It is obvious that the People's choice is Bernie. Bernie can win this election and become the President.

I will gladly entertain all reasonable debates that counter my claims. Proceed.

1. I agree with you! Bernie is attracting support from people across the spectrum.

4. From all walks of life

The largest numbers are those who turned out for Obama in 2008, but who then walked away for whatever reason. There was, at the time of the election, and Obama winning, that they all felt quite patriotic. That was one special feeling.

Now we all have another chance, with Bernie, of experiencing that super special feeling again.

3. "Possible"

" it is a possibility that anyone could win the election."

You are using a very pinched definition of "possible". Yes, it is "possible" that everyone who is being polled is lying, or it is "possible" that everyone will change their mind. I would argue that, applying a modicum of reality, it is not "possible" that Webb and Chafee will win, and that while it is "possible" for Sanders to win, he will still have a lot of obstacles to overcome, not the least of which is having the financial resources to campaign simultaneously in 10 States in the week before Super Tuesday.

5. Yes, it is possible. Unlike Hillary who has rich donors& paid staff,Bernie has over 400k volunteers

The grassroots for Sanders is strong and growing every day, while Hillary pays out millions for ad buys that generate more derision than converts. And don't even get me started on her 'Thx Box' of makeup and household supplies...send money and get my thx box.... How freaking tone deaf can she be?

6. Thatcher just had a stake pounded into her heart. I think Reagan's next. People know there's better.
