We have two candidates, one on each side of the likability scale.

Bernie is the most likable candidate from either party.
Bernie beats all republican challengers handily in current polls.
Bernie wants to try and fight for Universal Healthcare and Public College.
Bernie is honest and running as clean a campaign as possible.
Bernie takes campaign contributions from regular people.
Bernie has an active grass roots movement and an excited base that pulls in independents and republicans.

Hillary is the least likable of all the candidates.
Hillary does not beat all republicans in current polls.
Hillary will not fight for Universal Healthcare or Public College.
Hillary is considered untrustworthy and is running an incredibly dirty campaign.
Hillary takes campaign contributions from special interests.
Hillary runs on the status quo and excites very few.
Hillary has a potential indictment looming.
Hillary has damning emails being released constantly.
Hillary has secret speeches to wall street that will leak.

Can we please stop messing about and nominate Bernie Sanders? If we're playing to win, he's the candidate that will take us to the white house.

The path to victory is through Bernie. Hillary is risky business.

We *must* stop Sanders, even if it means Democrats lose the general.

That is the prime directive.

What part of the OP do you doubt?

Time to step up or slink away in sullen silence...again.
