8. I LOVE Bernie. But he is quite old & wasn't effective at debating. He's called himself a socialist.

Most Americans had never heard of him before this run. I wish they had been following him like we have, but that isn't the case.

As much as I would love for him to be president, realistically, he never had a shot. He did much better than TPTB and the media, who have worked tirelessly against him, thought he would though.

In my heart, I know Warren would have won the nom & the GE. Even my repub family members are drawn to her & agree with her. Like that Citi cromnibus speech. They were gagga.

People want anti-establishment now, but Bernie has too many strikes against him, imo. Its just my opinion.

Who knows, maybe he'll pull out some wins today & mid-March and stay in contention. I hope so! I've already voted for him in Ohio.
