We've known Hillary for long time, her charity works towards numerous other humanitarian issues etc. 1. She gave and delivered a kickass commencement speech at Wellesley College in 1969. 2. She was one of 27 women who graduated from Yale Law School in 1973, out of a class of 235. 3. She was the only woman on the Nixon impeachment investigation team. 4. She cofounded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families advocacy group. 5. She broke the mold for first ladies with her speech at the 1995 United Nations Women's Conference in China. 6. She won a Grammy for the audio edition of her book, It Takes a Village. 7. She worked with Ted Kennedy to expand the Children's Health Insurance Program. 8. She won the most votes of any female presidential candidate in history. 9. She set the stage for Obamacare by pushing health care reform in the '90s and during the 2008 campaign. 10. She became the most-traveled U.S. secretary of state ever. 11. She set into motion the first American talks with Iran since the 1979 revolution.
Now who is Bernie Sanders, I don't know, I really don't know and to me he popped up suddenly out of nowhere. If you are partaking in a match, there has to be someone to compete with. I believe any contenders to Hillary are just those out there just for the sake of it(match aka debate). And for someone like me when I saw him suddenly on TV saying that he's getting donation for his campaign not from billionaires but public. People paid standing ovation with round of applause, so? so what's the point? Does that make him saint? But to lot of people that made sense and now he's everyone's' talk of the night. Yes, there are things that make lot of sense to people. The same people who would believe they're getting free Ipad on some fake facebook page of real publication, the same people who follow Trump the maniac, the same fans who would like/share tweets of their drughigh fav singer who claims earth is flat, the same people who resend/retext/reshare religious messages out of fear(do this or curse would happen type), the same people who argues Ron Paul's gold theory must come back in action, the same people who believe and sell all their belongings in the name of judgment day only to turn into homeless next day, seriously I sometimes think how gullible we are to think whatever we hear and see are the truths. Bernie Sanders is another hype to me. Few videos on youtube found me the guy was a big time critique of democratic party itself, and didn't spare Obama policy from criticizing. I am afraid of sweet talkers and often time they're the back stabbers.
In all honesty, I really can't trust this Bernie dude and it seems like how honestly he's saying his things, Hillary is the way to go. Campaigns can't be run without money, however way you get it, you need money. He'll be in billionaire's pocket too if he's to get presidency. Those who think he's not going to be, are just type of people I mentioned in a paragraph above this.
If you are OBAMA supporters, VOTE for Hillary, if you are not VOTE for bernie.
Good Luck.
I'm seeing Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States of America.

Mily, "the angry man" (as you put it) probably is still living in the days of Ronald Regan presidency when the threat of the Soviet Union style political ideology was real and alive. The Soviet Union along with its political ideology has long been dead for more than a quarter century.
If Republican Party were to go by his logic the party would have lost Tea Partiers like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul right from the get go. In fact, Rand Paul's father (and former US Congressman) Ron Paul was the first one to start so called Tea Party long before (committed as well as opportunist) Tea Partiers cropped up everywhere in 2010.
Should have Ted Cruz and Rand Paul run as independent candidates ? I don't know.
Republican Party would still lose about 48 US House members and a couple of US Senate members of Republican Party if the party were to go by this logic.

Some of the most powerful figures in the Republican Party are doing everything they can to help
Democratic presidential contender Sen. Bernie Sanders.
It's been a strange race from the start – an insult-spewing outsider trumps an establishment favorite
on one side; a Denmark-loving socialist mounts a serious challenge on the other – and during Sunday evening's fourth Democratic presidential debate, things got stranger.
During the debate, the Republican National Committee sent out four separate e-mails defending
the Vermont senator against Hillary Clinton on issues ranging from
single-payer healthcare to guns to Wall Street, as reporters noted
across Twitter.
On Twitter, Sean Spicer, the RNC's chief spokesman and strategist, tweeted multiple messages supporting Sanders and his points with the pro-Sanders hashtag #FeelTheBern.
And following the debate, Republican operatives did their best to cast Sanders as the debate winner.
"Clinton needed a win last night. Instead, everyone is talking about how well Bernie Sanders, her chief rival, did,” Jeff Bechdel, a spokesman with the Republican political action committee America Rising,
told reporters.Call it a long-running tradition of campaign capers, a sincere
understanding of the saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
For Republican strategists eager to help their chief enemy's enemy, strengthening Sanders now will weaken Mrs. Clinton in the general election. At least, that's the theory.
“My guess is that Republican operatives know that Clinton is likely to win the nomination even if
Sanders upsets her in Iowa and New Hampshire. But an extended challenge will force her to use up money too early, and nudge her farther to the left,” Jack Pitney, a political science professor at Claremont McKenna College in California, told Bloomberg News. “[A]t this stage, campaigns will grab for every advantage they can get.”
In fact, all the way back in June 2015, the conservative National Review ran a piece urging readers to "Support Bernie Sanders! This is a call to action for every Republican anxious to win back the White House in 2016."
"Republicans have a pre-primary opportunity to strengthen Bernie Sanders’s financial position so that he
will have ample resources to dog Clinton and turn her into a raging leftist during the primary season," Myra Adams, a conservative writer and former Bush and McCain staffer, wrote for the Review.
In fact, Sanders is competitive in both Iowa, which hosts the country's first caucus, and New
Hampshire, which hosts the country's first primary. Sanders wins in those states could seriously injure Clinton's national lead.
And some Republicans are already salivating at the prospect of a Sanders nomination.“We're going to win every state,” Ohio Gov. John Kasich said in last week's Republican debate, “if Bernie Sanders is the nominee.”
Of course, it's hardly the first time partisans on either side have worked subtly, or not so subtly, to choose their opponent. In 2012, Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill worked diligently to boost Republican Rep. Todd Akin in his primary race so that she could face – and beat – him in the Missouri Senate race general election. She did, and won by more than 15 points.
But perhaps the most salient example comes from 2008, when Rush Limbaugh waged a campaign, "Operation Chaos," encouraging millions of his supporters to "bloody up Obama" and prolong the Democratic primary fight by supporting – you guessed it – Hillary Clinton.

Bernie Sanders might not win the nomination in the end but his sentiments are resonating with ascendant demographics that would eventually push political and public policy discussions into his directions regardless whoever takes the Oval Office.
To make this point, John Cassidy of The New Yorker Magazine writes, "Some political analysts seem taken aback that Sanders’s leftist language is resonating broadly among Democrats, particularly young ones, but they shouldn’t be surprised."
"But what really sets him apart isn’t his policy platform, which can be fairly described as shifting the United States toward the Scandinavian model of social democracy more rapidly than Clinton and other Democrats would; it’s his fiery rhetoric. In calling for a 'political revolution,' attacking the 'billionaire class,' and embracing the label 'democratic socialist,' Sanders is using language that has never been heard before in a Democratic Presidential primary. "
He further writes, "In a January poll of likely voters in the Iowa Democratic primary, forty-three per cent of respondents described themselves as “socialist.” And it isn’t just Iowa. A 2011 study by the Pew Research Center found that forty-nine per cent of millennials—defined as Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine—view socialism favorably, compared to forty-three per cent who view it unfavorably. "

No matter who you support in the democratic race, when this is over we all have to unite behind a nominee. I'm a Hillary supporter, but I will be behind Bernie if he receives the nomination. We can't allow a republican to become President.

Bittu good to see you toning down your rhetorics about Bernie from "Bernie is just a hype". Surprisingly you are not alone at feeling the Bern. 9 months ago when Bernie started his campaign there were lots of people like you but after seeing his popularity, people don't have a choice but to accept that he is not only a contender but a better candidate than Hillary.
Inspite of media blackout on Bernie's popularity, CNN has to report 2 hours ago that "Sanders tops Clinton by 2-to-1 margin in New Hampshire". Although Bittu's post with Hillary's smiling pictures in New Hampshire looks good, the voters have spoken and Bernie's apparently twice as popular as Hillary in NH.
Congratulations on feeling the Bern :)
By the way here's something to ponder - Hillary Clinton is just Republican Lite

i personally also like bernie over hillary but the fact is that hillary is back by the billionaires and institutions and you know who always wins in this country, the institutions and the billionaires.
Besides, Fed Reserve needs to unwind what they started 2009 and it will take another 8 years or so to do that. Black man paved a way for a woman next and they need a moderate before the lefty. Seems like all stars are aligning for Hillary.
My guess is that Bernie gets picked for VP if he does not challange Hillary long enough.

Hillary accuses Bernie of 'artful smearing' while in her so called response to Elizabeth Warren, she indulges in tasteless dodging of the main question. She keeps on talking about being busy to pass a different bill for women and children which was not the question. While talking about the different bills she even brings up husband 'Bill' - probably to make things more confusing.
To me, she completely dodged the question while claiming Warren was wrong but did not answer why she passed the controversial bill that Warren was talking about.
I did not expect such 'tasteless dodging' from her. In addition, she is hard bent on hiding the transcripts again with a silly at best reason that everyone should make their speech transcript public then she will consider making hers public.
Not everyone's speeches are under scrutiny. Her speech however is - because she took over $2 million to make those speeches and the content of speeches may throw some light on how she could be influenced by the $$$ she received from the financial institutions.
If she wants someone's transcript in particular she should ask!
In the meantime, her own daughter Chelsea Clinton, accidentally endorses President Sanders, err Senator Sanders.

Obama's aides in the White House are flabbergasted at Clinton campaign for its lackluster performance against Sanders' campaign according to investigative journalist Carl Bernstein.
Carl Bernstein was one of two investigative journalists who became instrumental in bringing down Richard Nixon presidency after uncovering Nixon's hand in Watergate scandal.
