With all due respect, all I have heard from you so far is that Hillary is better than Trump and that's not good enough for me. Polls showed then that Bernie beats Trump handily and now Hillary can barely keep her head above water, this after spending Million$ in campaign advertising. Yet you preferred Hillary over Bernie and now you own it. Care to discuss what made Hillary such a compelling candidate? This is what I have been asking here all along and all I get is insults or deflections.

Oh, nonsense. That touchstone that Bernie would've beaten Trump is utter bullshit. Unlike Hillary Clinton he was never seriously vetted by the press corp. He was handled with kid gloves throughout the campaign because he was never going to win enough votes.
Bernie would've been tarred, feathered and rode outta town on a rail by the press and their Republican stooges for saying lack of sex causes cancer in women. His published rape fantasy and his other wonderings about little kids fondling each other would have been all over the airways. Midwesterners would've recoiled in horror at all the oppo research the Trumplicans have on the old hippie.
If anything we Democrats dodged a huge bullet by voting against Sanders.
