In 2016, Bernie Sanders is not only today's Democratic "movement leader" (as exemplified by endorsements from The Nation and MoveOn.org), he's surpassed Hillary Clinton as the "inevitable" presidential candidate.

Sanders performs better than Clinton against Trump in a general election. Also, Bernie Sanders isn't linked to an expanded FBI investigation of emails (that could easily continue past Election Day) and he's raised more individual contributions than anyone in history. Finally, Vermont's Senator has already surpassed Clinton in Iowa and New Hampshire polls; something deemed unthinkable to many observers several months ago.

Bernie Sanders is also the only leading presidential candidate with positive favorability ratings in 2016.

While the majority of Americans find both Clinton and Trump "not honest and trustworthy," only Sanders is trusted by the majority of Americans. Because of negative favorability ratings, I explain why Hillary Clinton is unelectable in this YouTube segment.

1. You know, for as much as Clinton supporters claim to hate Goodman, you sure do post a lot of him

[cali]

5. It's a particularly transparent and lame effort to make Sanders

supporters look stupid. It fails.

[morningfog]

11. It is actually just to post flame bait and to be disrutpive.

[MineralMan]

19. Sadly, that poster will not be able to respond

until much later in the month. Time out.

2. Ooh, you do love that crazy fuck. You really are special.

[Cali_Democrat]

3. People on DU, especially Sanders supporters, have been posting Goodman for months....

....just keeping the ball rolling.

[cali]

7. And they've stopped. You have not. You are the most transparent

poster on DU. And that is not a compliment

[cali]

9. Nah, I just like cursing. And I'm honest.

Left unsaid.....

12. An anonymous poster on a message board can set you off

by posting an article with no commentary.

It's very amusing.

17. 1-6 Leave.

4. HA Goodman can always be counted on for a laugh

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. My I Q goes up ten points every time I read one of Mr. Goodman's opuses.

I hope he never stops writing them, lest I end up like Charlie in Flowers for Algernon.

10. Laugh all you want about HA Goodman.

He will be the most respected journalist in the country after Bernie Sanders secures his nomination AND his seat behind the desk in the Oval Office. Other journalists will have to start doing actual journalism instead of puff pieces.

13. Sanders will win, but Goodman is an op-Ed writer, not a journalist

And he won't miraculously become a journalist in Jan 2017.

Welcome to DU! I think you are going to love the website!

14. With the 'Negatvity Factor' as a consideration, Bernie could WIN BIG!

But I'd still like to see a chart on what effect of the 'negativity factor' has on actual votes..

GO BERNIE.
Tell it like it is.

15. Who is this pile of horse manure.

He manages to get himself in everywhere.

16. This is a learning experience for me.

I always thought sarcasm was a feminine trait, but lately DU has been showing me how intensely, single-mindedly sarcastic angry men can be. I suppose this would be men who are in the habit of suppressing the violent or "losing it" side of their anger, which I would once have thought a good thing, but now am not so sure.

Why can't they just go for a run or throw something or play a round of racket ball? Or scream? Find a more direct way to deal with it -- without, of course, harming those around them.

This sarcasm thing is becoming gross and grotesque.

18. Well, Damn! H.A. Goodman hath spoken.

Who can doubt him? His infallibility is legend, as we all know. It's over, I guess.
