100. She'd be on the defensive the entire campaign.

Mar 2016

Hillary has more baggage than a symphony orchestra on a world tour, and don't think for a second Repukes aren't going to dredge up every last morsel of scandal that she's ever been associated with and place it squarely on the plate of every tv viewing, radio listening American. If it's Trump, he'll remind us all everyday that he knows she can be bought because he paid her to attend his wedding.

All they've really got on Bernie is his contention that he's a democratic socialist. And he'll patiently explain for the umpteenth time what that means -- universal healthcare, a living wage, and policies that favor the 99%. He's authentic and he's honest. He's been in the corner of the ordinary citizen for decades and is routinely reelected in Vermont by Dems and R's alike.

The Hillary supporters here are confident she'll win, so confident they don't even think they need Bernie's voters and have no problem hurling insults at us and our candidate. Good luck with that come November.
