Hillary vs Bernie debate

I think Hillary is wounded and in a very tenuous position.

Bernie's impressive showing in Iowa hurt her, and she is looking very weak with young voters and surprisingly with women.

And, the positions Bernie has staked out has left her looking like the "no we can't" candidate.

That's not a hopeful nor positive message.

She looked particularly ridiculous when she tried to argue that she's anti-establishment.

She's been First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State, she's worth millions, and she gives speeches to Wall Street bankers in exchange for checks for more than Bernie's net worth for gawd's sake.

I agree Sal, it is quite troublesome to me.  I like Bernie and he is the most honest of both lots.  I actually am one of those who have contributed to his campaign (for the first time in my life) BUT I remain troubled if, in the general election if he can survive the hammer and sickle that will be hung around his neck by the GOP.  My overriding concern in this election is the winner will get two and possibly three appointees to SC . . . . . affecting the fabric of American society for decades.  I have said before that I will vote for Bernie in the primary and HRC if she becomes our candidate. Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out . . . . . .

Not that I necessarily think ben or fiorina have much of a chance this year.
