What you say is very logical and makes a lot of sense. However, most people
operate from a different place than logic and sense, esp when it comes to
politics which is so much about perception and unconscious motivations, even
primal ones.
My guess is most Americans don't like a smart woman. And they certainly don't
like a smart woman who's also a "fighter." They like women who are like Sanders
wife, very comforting and motherly. Or Melania who's gorgeous and supportive of
her family. Again, these are very primal currents in the human psyche.
Another factor which plays out on the subliminal level, is that Hillary looks
like a Republican wife! Or Margaret Thatcher! As it is, we live in a very
visual culture and these cues operate on very unconscious levels. Over and over
and over again.

I see it oppositely to you. Hillary could win and she could beat Trump.
She is a fighter—one should never underestimate the power of woman of intention
when she sets her mind to something. Hillary is a survivor and she is
intelligent and knowledgable and experienced and dedicated. She is well spoken
and she's thoughtful. She missteps here and there and because her every facial
expression is being subjected to negative scrutiny and pronouncement and sexist
attack, she suffers in the media. Her tone is sometimes off and her slogan and
logo aren't the best. But, let us remember we aren't electing a slogan or a
logo. I think she needs to blow by and play past the accusations and just
laugh at the jokesters and let these things roll off her back a bit more. Stay
focused on the positive message exclusively and the depth and intelligence she
would bring to the White House. Relax, be herself and go for it. Bernie's
better at just letting it all hang out. He doesn't apologize for himself and
neither does Trump. She needs to stop explaining and start campaigning with
unbounded enthusiasm everywhere she goes, making sure that her message is not
about herself, but about the people. I think it is, honestly, but she needs to
change her campaign message and her delivery and her demeanor some and stay on
point. "Illegitimum non carborundum." She's breaking new ground.
Bernie is primarily an activist and a good one who communicates his message
clearly, but all his great ideas are underwritten by his single-minded focus
(comes out in every one of his speeches no matter what the topic) to take down
and disable the "wealth structure" and "make them pay." It's global, not
limited to the U.S. and he won't be able to start making inroads into it
"locally" (U.S.) without a major and sustained "revolution" on the part of the
American people. We aren't there, we aren't even close. He should throw his
support behind Hillary, when the time comes. And then, yes, keep the ball
rolling with activism at the ground level, for the votes for our elected
representatives, for continuing to educate the masses and the millennials that
think he's a cutie pie.

But this is how the American people feel. They are fed up with Congress.
Both Sanders and Trump are radicals, albeit at opposite ends of a spectrum.
This is what the American people want now, a radical, an outsider, etc. They
are fed up with politicians, esp professional ones like Hillary. I agree. She
could never beat Trump.
But, if she were to support Bernie...the Democrats would have a real chance to
win.

Only familiar in the sense that this is how he's operated for a long time and
he's honed his playground charisma to be the biggest and the best in the school
yard. I can just see him berating Congress now...."you guys are awkward
fools....liars, all of you. Wimps, weak. I bet you couldn't pass a bill if
you tried. The polls say people like me, by the way, don't forget. I'll make
sure that all of you that vote against me will be thrown out of Congress...see
those guys in black at the back; they wear their sunglasses at night. Heck,
I'll do it myself. I don't need you. I have a billion dollars. I can run this
country by myself. I'm comin' for you, don't forget. I'll sue the pants off

Bernie and Trump may both be guilty of promising things they won't be able to
deliver. Trump seems to have forgotten about Congress all together. He just
thinks he's going to roll on in to the White House and start waving his gold
plated trumpet and magically, the economy will rebuild (he does build things
right?) and Obamacare will go away and immigrants will return in droves to
their parent countries voluntarily. All on Day 1. What a guy.
Bernie's education plan is right on the money, imho. Have you looked at the
particulars? I like it. However, he's bound and determined to get it and
everything else that I'm for from a source that has no on-switch at the current
time and won't in the near future. " The cost of this $75 billion a year plan
is fully paid for by imposing a tax of a fraction of a percent on Wall Street
speculators who nearly destroyed the economy seven years ago. "

Yeah, Bernie definitely offers more *free* stuff than Hillary. Bernsie wants to
offer *free* higher education to all. Hillary just wants you to pay lower
interest rates on your student loans. If you were a student, who would you vote
for?
When the people discover that they can vote themselves money, that will herald
the end of the republic.

You know, he makes some excellent points. It is true that Hillary is not a
great campaigner and she gets defensive, which doesn't come across well all the
time. Politically, neither her logo or her slogan say it's about the people.
They say it's about her. It is true that Trump will do everything he can to
lynch her and he won't let up. If she defends, she loses. He will continue to
play on people's fear and she will be facing plenty of sexism, the kind that
isn't talked about, but that surely exists in the minds of both men and women.
The undermining has already started and has been quite effective. I will agree
that the more interesting match that would force us to choose ideologically
would be a Sanders/Trump choice. SuperTuesday is around the corner.
