OK I'll just say it: the dem establishment wants to lose this election

338. What is the evidence for the statement that everyone 'outside the DC bubble" understands

that Bernie can'r win the general election?

It is too early to predict anything about the general election.

Bernie is a candidate unlike previous candidates,

And the economy is on shaky ground at this time. The Fed's reluctance to raise interest rates is an admission to that fact.

When the economy is very uncertain and you have a shrinking, hurting middle class, and a candidate comes along who speaks boldly about moral and economic reform, that candidate has a chance to win.

We are due for a big dose of economic, populist reform. We need it to catch up. With our technological reform and to deal with the environmental disaster that awaits us if we do not switch from fossil fuels to new energy sources.

Hillary and the Republican candidates are too fettered to old, tired solutions to sell our country on the new ideas we need.

Bernie is the only candidate who is getting any attention and adequate support to get elected who will steadfastly advocate for the reform we need.

He can, and I think he will' be elected,

I recently flew on an airplane wearing a Bernie pin. Comments were very positive. People really like Bernie. It is astounding even to me.

Wall Street is not trusted, not at all. It is the only game in town for people who try to save money (along with some credit unions) and for that reason, I think that Bernie's message especially on trade and banking reform could draw middle class and sone Republican voters.

Our stock market tumbles due to the lack of integrity and proper regulation in the Chinese market?

Our bank interest deposit rates are this low for this long and yet so many are un- or ubderemployed?

People know something is wrong.

The Republicans are ready to blow up the world and are trying to scare people about Obama's relatively successful foreign policy? And who was secretary of state prior to Kerry.

The foundation for Hillarry's or Biden's candidacies in 2016 are being undermined. Three hours of constant blows and no response from Democrats in the form of a debate that presents the range of. Democratic points of view and ideas?

It verges on sabotage, and maybe it is.

Wasserman-Schultz needs to resign and give way to someone who is neutral in the primary contest

If we lose in 2016, she will be blamed. The result in 2014 does not say much that is good about her leadership.
