Bernie Sanders will become our
next president and it should come as no surprise to people actually paying
attention
In one major poll, Bernie
Sanders is now leading Hillary Clinton nationally. In most others, he’s
not far behind from the former Secretary of State. Vermont’s Senator already
has an “edge over Clinton in matchups with GOP opponents,”
dispelling Clinton’s electability myth. In an average of national polls, Bernie
Sanders is less than eight points from Hillary Clinton, after being
over 50 points behind in 2015. In addition, there’s only one person capable of
challenging a Republican in 2016 without James Comey declaring national security was
jeopardized by a private server.
Bernie Sanders is the only Democratic
candidate capable of winning the White House in 2016. Please name the last
person to win the presidency alongside an ongoing FBI investigation, negative
favorability ratings, questions about character linked to continual flip-flops,
a dubious money trail of donors, and the genuine contempt of the
rival political party. In reality, Clinton is a liability to Democrats, and
certainly not the person capable of ensuring liberal Supreme Court nominees and
President Obama’s legacy.
The precious and all-knowing
polls already show Bernie Sanders defeating Republicans in a general election
and Robert Reich has already explained why Sanders can easily win the
presidency. In a Huffington Post piece titled “6 Responses to Bernie Skeptic,” Reich
debunks the trusted myth of Clinton supporters and Republicans:
“He’d never beat Trump or Cruz
in a general election.”
Wrong. According to the latest
polls, Bernie is the strongest Democratic candidate in the general election,
defeating both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz in hypothetical matchups. (The latest
RealClear Politics averages of all polls shows Bernie beating Trump by a larger
margin than Hillary beats Trump, and Bernie beating Cruz while Hillary loses to
Cruz.)
“America would never elect a
socialist.”
P-l-e-a-s-e. America’s most
successful and beloved government programs are social insurance – Social
Security and Medicare. A highway is a shared social expenditure, as is the
military and public parks and schools. The problem is we now have excessive
socialism for the rich (bailouts of Wall Street, subsidies for Big Ag and Big
Pharma, monopolization by cable companies and giant health insurers, giant
tax-deductible CEO pay packages) – all of which Bernie wants to end or prevent.
As Reich points out in his
article, America is already a nation of Democratic-Socialists, but many of us
(Democrats and Republicans) simply uphold “excessive socialism for the rich.”
Bernie Sanders, unlike
Clinton, defeats Donald Trump in a landslide of “epic proportions” in a general election and is the
antithesis of a Republican. If you don’t believe me, then watch my friend Brian
Hanley’s animated rap videos about Bernie Sanders demolishing
Donald Trump.
Most importantly, and
something the naysayers should learn, is that Bernie Sanders does better than Clinton against the GOP in a general
election.
In addition, American voters
don’t trust Hillary Clinton. At what point will critics of Bernie Sanders
realize that American voters will never vote for a candidate they don’t trust
and don’t like? In October of 2015, I explained in the following YouTube
segment why Clinton is unelectable, and in another segment why
Clinton must always evolve on key issues.
53.8% of all American voters have an “unfavorable”
view of Hillary Clinton.
67% of American voters find Hillary Clinton “not honest
and trustworthy,” compared with 59% for Donald Trump. Yes, more people trust Donald Trump.
After all, it’s difficult to
trust a politician who completely fabricated a story about being fired upon by
snipers. Like POLITIFACT states, “it’s hard to understand how she could
err on something so significant as whether she did or didn’t dodge sniper
bullets.”
71% of men and 64% of women find Clinton “not honest and
trustworthy.”
74% of Independent voters find Clinton “not honest and
trustworthy.”
35% of Democrats find Clinton “not honest and
trustworthy.” Yes, even Democrats.
In contrast, Kathy Frankovic
of YouGov.com states “Bernie Sanders is the most widely trusted
presidential candidate of either party.”
Quinnipiac’s Feb. 18 report states “Sanders has the
highest favorability rating of any candidate and the highest scores for honesty
and integrity, for caring about voters’ needs and problems and for sharing
voters’ values.” Sanders also ties Clinton on “having strong leadership
qualities.”
In terms of Clinton’s
leadership qualities, they haven’t translated to good judgement.
If the Clinton campaign
expects to build upon President Obama’s accomplishments, then it should first
discuss things with a former Obama intelligence official. Lt. Gen. Michael
Flynn explains his view of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal in a CNN article titled “Former Obama Intel Official:
Hillary Clinton Should Drop
Out”:
President Barack Obama’s
former top military intelligence official said Hillary Clinton should pull out
of the presidential race while the FBI investigate her use of a private email
server for official government communication while secretary of state.
“If it were me, I would have
been out the door and probably in jail,” said Flynn, who decried what he said
was a “lack of accountability, frankly, in a person who should have been much
more responsible in her actions as the secretary of state of the United States
of America.”
“This over-classification
excuse is not an excuse,” Flynn said Friday. “If it’s classified, it’s
classified.”
Flynn, who headed the Defense
Intelligence Agency from July 2012 to August 2014, told Tapper that Clinton “knew
better…“
No, Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn
isn’t part of the GOP. He actually worked for President Obama. If you think the FBI, a former Obama intelligence official, the State
Department’s own “internal watchdog,” and all the other elements of
this expanded investigation make for a great presidency, then you’re certainly
ready for Hillary in 2016.
Yes, a former Obama
intelligence official suggests Clinton “drop out” of the presidential race. The
FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s emails is “not letting up” and there is no end in sight. Good luck
with nationally televised debates against a ruthless opponent like Trump (who
will certainly make the email scandal a primary issue of every discussion), if
you fear the loss of Supreme Court nominees and the future of our country. It’s
doubtful any GOP challenger would gracefully declare, “Enough of the emails.”
Even if you believe Clinton
would win a general election, remember that the FBI, or even the State
Department, could uncover yet another group of “Top Secret” emails well into Clinton’s first term.
The FBI could also urge the Justice Department to take action; even if Clinton
wins the presidency. We’ve already seen one Clinton White House defend against
scandal.
By the way, can anyone at The
Daily Beast, The Daily Banter, or The Daily Hillary Clinton Inevitability Press
please explain why Hillary Clinton felt the need to own a private server?
Vermont’s senator will become
our next president and it should come as no surprise to people actually paying
attention, and not repeating establishment talking points. I’ve been saying
this since June 25, 2015, when 730,000 people on Facebook liked my
article titled “It’s Official — Bernie Sanders Has Overtaken Hillary
Clinton In the Hearts and Minds of Democrats.” True, I was wrong about Iowa,
but at least I got the winner right, and I’ll be right about my greatest prediction: On Jan. 20, 2017 Bernie Sanders Will
Be Sworn In as America’s 45th President.
