I am going to call the 2016 election: Bernie Sanders is going to win.
Why?
* He is the only candidate with a lucid and coherent policy platform
* He has the largest number and most amount of money donated from real people
* He has no skeletons in the closet
* He has been consistent in his beliefs and policies his whole career
* He has *won* social media <<< this is the real point.
* Conversely his absence from traditional media is more of an indictment on them then him. Who cares about TV anymore? The GOP base is the largest consumer of TV, and they can't figure out which clown they are going to back.
* The core GOP strategy is obstructionism. Especially after W Bush they are allergic to winning POTUS. They do not want to win. If they wanted to win they would have taken Carson and Trump out in the backyard and shot them. They would have scrubbed up Bush and Rubio and settled on a candidate.
* The religious right is a monster unleashed. It is a cynical money pyramid scheme that exploits the fears and ignorances of the most trusting and vulnerable Americans and fleeces of their grocery money.
* The GOP has given up on America. It is the very Make America Great Again in stark clarity - the GOP sees the 300m citizens of the USA as a 3rd world country to exploit. There is no belief in the future. So much so that the climate change deniers are essentially saying fuck it - Revelations is actually happening - yes we are going to have Hell on Earth - Bring It On!
I am not a Hillary Clinton hater, and would really love to have a women take POTUS. And I will enthusiastically vote for her if she wins the Dem primary. But I think we are done with Dynasties. Elizabeth Warren vs Bernie Sanders that would be a tragic surplus of awesome.
