It's not about Bernie's electability - It's about stopping the gravy train.

[Skwmom]

These people have become millionaires and billionaires feeding at the public trough. The billionaires, corporations, our elected officials and their families have all treated the treasury as their personal piggy bank.

Bernie is electable. That is what scares the hell out of them.

The corrupt way of doing business in DC has to stop before we destroy this country.

I don't begrudge anyone making money through hard work but this is NOT what is occurring.

1. they are terrified of having to actually pay fair taxes

and not have control of their govt puppets.

[Skwmom]

2. It's much more than fair taxes. Follow the money. It's mind boggling how much is

given away in the guise of supporting a social program.

4. socialism for the 1%

now if we can just get it for the rest of us......

[Renew Deal]

3. Yes, it's the ACA gravy train. The marriage equality gravy train. The Roe v Wade gravy train.

The election has serious consequences and we cannot afford to lose 49 states.

7. thankfully, with bernie as nom, we won't. nt

[Odin2005]

12. That is why Hillary CANNOT be the nominee.

Hillary is DESPISED by most people.

[Renew Deal]

13. Except most Democrats in IA

[Odin2005]

15. Exactly half.

WHAT A MANDATE!

5. Both candidates have flaws

The country is divided on a lot of issues and you are never going to convince certain red states to turn blue. The flip side is also true. There are certain blue states that won't go red either.

I don't think Bernie is any less electable than Hillary. Republicans will hammer both on their flaws. Socialist is no worse than current FBI investigation. Both will hurt either candidate with people in the big middle who aren't activists in any way.

Having said that, I am curious to see how it plays out. Hillary will likely get the nomination but I would like to see her have to earn it instead of a coronation.

[Skwmom]

9. I'd rather defend my opponent speaking lies rather than the truth. Therein lies the real problem.

[DanTex]

6. Winning the GE is all that really matters. Look at the GOP. Case closed.

[restorefreedom]

8. and bernie is our best chance of that.

but i know we don't agree on this issue, so, ya know, tomato, tomaaaato

[NorthCarolina]

10. Why else would someone spend 8+ digits to acquire a job that pays 6 LOW digits?

eom

[Odin2005]

11. This is why all the supposedly "progressive" organizations are endorsing Hillary.

Hillary is the "Political Patronage Machine" candidate and these organizations are tied to the patronage machine.

[Live and Learn]

14. Yep, follow the money! nt
