3. Sanders has connections, experience, history and knows how to get it done. Masters bully pulpit.

My concern is that we might get another newbie politically green candidate. He's got the proven power. Bannon said he was Trump's biggest concern and relieved when Clinton got it. People were okay with him bashing Hillary but bashing Bernie - well, that was another story. I will be concerned if Kamala is the candidate or any other politician who hasn't learned how to handle the Senate and House. And few will vote based on gender alone. Time will tell. I say these things not because I'm loyal to Bernie but because I want experience, proven character, and chutzpa to win for the good of the country.

Yes, I'll take any Democrat. I wonder how Bernie will handle the new rule that he can't change party just for a campaign? I doubt he'd run if that had to happen because he'd split the vote.
