Worried that Bernie Sanders might lose nomination :(

Although I am not American, I really think that he represents the best hope for both Canada and the United States.

I wonder if hillary will ask sanders to run as her vp canidate. I think sanders is the canidate with the most support among young voters.if not im sure elizabeth warren will run in a few years. She has similar political beliefs as bernie.i thought bernie talked about withdrawing from nafta. Obama originally proposed withdrawing from nafta but his economic advisor austin goldsbee reassured canada obama wouldnt withdraw from nafta.

Bernie won't lose the nomination. It was never his to lose.

He won't win it, that's been obvious for a long time.

The good news is that Clinton has been forced to move to the left to appeal to Sanders supporters. Without him around, she may have moved the other way to appeal to Republicans.

Politically, Clinton is largely the same as Obama, so her winning is nothing to "worry" about. Yes, it would be better to have someone who supports prison reform, for example, but you can't always get the ideal candidate elected.

A political revolution has started here in America. "We the People" aren't going to stand for talk of change without there actually being real change any longer. Sanders most likely won't win the nomination but his cause will live on. Sanders isn't what the establishment wants. They want someone that will keep playing there game, basically a puppet president that they own.

It's sad that our country has fallen so far down from the days when even a republican candidate was actually for the people rather than being only for corporations. Money has corrupted our system completely.

Hillary was promised the nomination for getting out of the way in 2008, the fix has always been in and Bernie was never meant to be serious opposition. He's not serious about winning or else he would go after Hillary and her husband's ethics or lack there of, people do care about those emails because they're tired of seeing the elite and politically connected escape justice. Given the Obama administration's use of the Espionage Act it would be the height of hypocrisy to not charge Hillary with a crime, she did much more than David Petraeus .

Hillary would be losing to any credible Democrat running, Joe Biden would be winning and so would Elizabeth Warren if she ran. A lot of Democrats are more popular than Hillary but the Clinton Machine is still churning, she had like a 600 superdelegate lead before a vote was cast. The party bosses control the Democratic party, not the voters.

I'm not sure she got out of the way for Obama in 2008. Obama took it from her on a wave of optimism and change.

If I was an American I'd be voting for Bernie. He is the only one that will deal with the big issues properly, such as climate change and tackling corrupt political financing. Also he will hold big business and Wall Street to account. People deserve to get paid a living wage, I find it bizarre that this is taken as a given. Not to mention universal health care, it's a disgrace that America doesn't provide it for all it's citizens as a human right.

I have always wished society would be like what they have in Star Trek, they have some kind of communist society but it works because they've overcome greed and self-interest. Whereas atm I don't think humans have developed enough morally in order not to be corrupted. That's why it doesn't work atm. It will someday though. I think asperger's could be the next step in evolution. A world government run by persons with Asperger's would change the world for the better imo.

bernie may yet win. he is ahead of where obama was at the same stage of the election season. superdelegates tend to vote with the people. during the 2008's , Hilary also supposedly had the superdelegates, but they changed when it was clear that the electorate wanted obama.

But having said what I said above I have to admit that it is curious how the GOP also had an "establishment" candidate with similiar advantages to Hillary. And its interesting how that candidate got slaughtered early in the race!

Jeb Bush's bood kinship to two former presidents, and recent service as a state governor add up to roughly the same amount of strength as Hillary's kinship by marriage to a former president, and recent service as secy of State. But that didnt help him much.

So this IS an election to expect the unexpected.
