Look: Sanders would die in office Even without the stress of the presidency and his recent coronary he’s actuarially got less than 20% chance of living four more years

Not only thats not even relevant to getting elected, its not even accurate — people get stents as early as 50 years and move on to love 80 years or more. Bill Clinton also has a stent. Its not the big thing you think it is.

And I really, really, really don’t like the fact that the Sanders cultists are threatening to voote Trump if they don’t get their way.

2016 election’s result shows that they didnt vote for Trump. They just didnt vote. That’s what happens when a candidate doesnt offer anything to people who are suffering. There is no motive to vote.

I told this before 2016 elections — Clinton couldnt mobilize voters.

A candidate who is ‘just a little bit softer’ moderate Republican in her stances, backing all the corporate talking points and agenda GOP, only to change what she says after something becomes a political liability in public opinion, can’t mobilize anyone. She even was for TTP and backed the treaty publicly 40 times, until public opinion turned strongly against the treaty. After that, ‘I changed my opinion with new data’ will not fly anymore.

But as members of the Obama administration can attest, Clinton was one of the leading drivers of the TPP when Secretary of State. Here are 45 instances when she approvingly invoked the trade bill about which she is now expressing concerns (source)

And it turned out right — Trump did not get more votes — he got as much as the recent Republican presidents who won — Clinton got less votes than other Democratic candidates.

When you offer ‘same old’ to people who are suffering, the result is disinterest, irrelevant of the packaging you present that ‘same old’.

Sanders is not a liar, he has not lied at any point in his career. All of his policy positions are positions which he kept for over 40 years or more, even if some — like the gun thing you noted- are not so beneficial to his electorate.

That’s the sign of a trustworthy person.
