    I think it is a bit of a stretch to say Sanders would have beat Trump,he does have that whole socialist aspect behind him that some do not feel comfortable with.

    There needs to be a balance in there somewhere.

    Funny how people said no way to Jeb but yet we end up with the choice of Hillary or Trump.

    No, not a stretch. Multiple polls showed this. Younger people especially didn't care about the "socialist" label.

    It is an interesting and scary possibility we are being tested and set up for socialism in this country.
    Every so many years a "socialist" agenda political type get foisted in front of the masses and the results tallied.
    Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the same power brokers sit back and count the money while laughing at the masses.

    Actually, after listening to Jeb's speeches in the Primaries, I would have voted for him before Mrs. Clinton. I did like Bernie's ideologies, but as we see over and over again, he would have had a snowball's chance in Hell of implementing them.

    I was a bit surprised when Jeb and all of the others pulled out so quick.

    People right away jumped on the whole not another Bush in the White House,but to me he was not even like his brother.

    You find out in life that you meet a lot of people and the ones that have your back when the crap hits the fan you have respect for.

    When the 4 hurricanes hit Fl in 2004,after the first one,as soon as it was safe the assets were in the streets,it was 11:30 pm.

    No power for 14 days citywide,but the fuel trucks were stacked up and portable generators to get some of the gas stations up and running,portable water and food stations in place within a couple of days.

    The insurance companies dared not disput claims and they were settled quick.

    When one sees the cluster pluck of Katrina,and the northeast and how that was handled you appreciate it.

    He was not perfect as gov of Fl but that is politics,you ask for a 100 to get 50 and cannot please everybody all of the time.

    I did emergency disaster response in Fl and in New Orleans,Fl paid me New Orleans did not and it bankrupted me because I still had to cover my crews lodging,meals,and all expenses that were supposed to be covered in the contracts.I have a lot of acquaintances that also got screwed and word got out quick not to respond anymore.

    The people in the states he won in the primary were well aware of his "Socialist" label by corporatists and right-wing extremists.

    As the results showed, it didn't phase them.

    BTW, it's all about the Electoral College in the general election. There's no reason why Bernie wouldn't have won the states Hillary did. Had he also carried over Iowa, West Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin like he did in the primary [[plus I'm sure Pennsylvania would have definitely gone blue), he would have easily surpassed 270.
