Almost Every Major Poll Shows BERNIE challenging defeating Hillary & Republicans! Here's why...

American politics is never static. Similar to the value system of certain presidential candidates, it's in a never-ending state of constant evolution. For this reason, "Dewey Defeats Truman," "We still seek no wider war," and "They hate our freedoms" are time capsules of American history seen though the lenses of hindsight and reflection.

We now have our first African-American president in his second term, we have an embassy in Cuba, and gay marriage is a right. American politics, and the world, can change in the blink of an eye.

Ironically, there are certain liberal voters in America today more interested in sharing memes on social media (mocking their political rivals), than in actually rallying around a politician who is a genuine and authentic embodiment of their acknowledged value system. To these people, Bernie Sanders can't possibly win, even though he championed gay rights when others needed to "evolve," and even though he voted against Iraq, when others deemed their vote a "mistake."

Luckily, there are a great many other voters willing to imagine a future without Wall Street greed and rampant income inequality. Fortunately, "Bernie Sanders Can Become President" has replaced "I like him but he can't win."

"Why President Rand Paul Will Keep America Safer Than Bush, Obama, and Hillary Clinton":

A quick glance at his website would make you believe he was working for the Sanders campaign with his Hillary hit pieces. Except I think he's more about hating Hillary than supporting Sanders.

"If Nixon had email, he'd have been just like Hillary Clinton"
"It's Official -- Bernie Sanders Has Overtaken Hillary Clinton In the Hearts and Minds of Democrats"
"The Middle East Needs Senator Bernie Sanders, Not a Neoconservative Hillary Clinton"
"Sanders's integrity and honesty worth more than Clinton's billions"
"Sanders says 'no' to billionaires, while Clinton accepted Trump money"
"Hillary Clinton Has A 'White Liberal' Problem That Will Help Bernie Sanders"
"Why Killer Mike's Endorsement of Bernie Sanders Spells Trouble for Hillary Clinton" (my personal favorite)

The majority of the articles linked on his own website are negative pieces on Hillary.

Oh, and here's a real head-scratcher (or belly buster?):

"Why Democrats in Iowa and New Hampshire Should Choose Jim Webb Over Hillary Clinton"

He seems to be hunting around for a candidate he can support.
