(19,537 posts)Polls have shown that. Bernie wouldn't lose on issues such as the TPP and H-1B visas like Hillary would to Donald Trump with voters that care about American jobs, and where these issues are separate viewpoints for Trump and Hillary but not for Trump and Bernie. Bernie will win on other issues over Trump with more sanity and less corporate alliance than Trump has.
And if Bernie wins, not only would he do just as much to make sure that the reproductive rights of women, and the rights of minorities are protected as he has ALWAYS stood for longer than even Hillary has since the 60's with his SCOTUS selections, and gay people's rights for marriage that he has stood for decades in support of rather than just doing so recently, but he would also make sure any new justices would not support the judicial activist notion of corporate personhood that has polluted so many recent decisions that has made our government so corrupt now.
It is increased likelihood of beating Republicans AND that he would put in justices that would be about even more than just protecting women's rights and minority rights that make him the choice for Democrats in my book!
