The Revolution Is Real, Bernie Can Win It All

71% of New Hampshire Democrats voted for the candidate who shared their position on the issues, while only 29% voted based on experience.
Income inequality and jobs were the most important issues to Democrats, and most sobering for Hillary Clinton. Two-thirds of voters support replacing the current health care system with a single-payer Medicare for all, a policy Sanders has championed.
The Clinton campaign can claim that Bernie had the home field advantage, but in reality they are losing to a better candidate. People know what Bernie Sanders stands for and they believe in his message. Hillary Clintons only argument is that she has the experience to take the helm. The problem is people arent looking for someone with the experience to maintain the status quo. They are looking for someone to shake things up. They want someone to change the political and economic system.
I remember when the Clinton campaign said they had a firewall in the South. Bernies campaign manager correctly responded by saying its a weakness to need a firewall and well show them that a firewall cant stop a prairie fire. Bernie has that kind of momentum now.
Van Jones on CNN argued that the myth that Bernie cant win enough African American votes in South Carolina is wrong. He predicted Sanders would get over 30% of the African American vote and that just as Bernie dominates with young women, he could do equally well with young black voters.
It looks like the general election is shaping up to be a race between the anti-establishment candidates: one who has been fighting the establishment his whole career, and the other who has an ownership stake in the establishment but is running as the candidate they cant buy.
