10. A "representative of all that is corrupt in our political system".

Wed Mar 9, 2016, 02:44 PM

Mar 2016

This is going to be the bridge too far for a not insignificant part of Bernie supporters in the G.E.

Add that to the trouble Hillary has with Independents and the Youth vote, and we will be in much more trouble in November than if Bernie were to become the nominee.

I truly hope that Bernie supporters can emphasize this successfully to undecideds (and maybe even to a few Hillary supporters).

We need Bernie to win this nomination.
