While none of the readers seem to agree.

You do realize that Bernie Sanders has over 30 years of experience in an elected office. Hillary has only had 7. For an independent to have won so many elections is impressive, whereas Hillary was mostly appointed to her positions. Big difference as we live in a democracy. The argument that Bernie has less experience has absolutely no merit.

Of course when the board of directors chooses, it's Hilary, but when it's the employees, it's always Bernie.

Sorry NYTimes - you are completely out of step with your readers on this - we are all tired of the Clinton and Bush political dynasties and their subservience to corporate and 0.1% interests - domestic and foreign. Not much else to be said, your readers comments have been saying this pretty unanimously for months now. I could pull the plug on my subscription, but I think you answer to other masters than your rank and file subscribers...

I'm starting to notice a trend here. It would appear as though that those connected with the establishment are endorsing Hillary while your average everyday person is endorsing Bernie. Interesting.........

You didn't know Clinton was the establishment choice before this?

Sanders raised $20 million in January

The Bernie Sanders campaign said it raised $20 million this month from a record-setting legion of small donors.

More than 770,000 people gave to the Vermont senator's bid in January, with online contributions averaging just $27, the campaign said. And Sanders has so far received more than 3.25 million contributions — more than any presidential campaign at this point in the cycle ever.

More than 99.9 percent of donors are able to give to Sanders again because they haven't reached the limit, unlike other campaigns whose contributors are maxed out, the campaign said.

Pro-Sanders super PAC brought in $2.3 million

Bernie Sanders rails against super PACs, but the main super PAC supporting his presidential campaign had its biggest off-year fundraising haul ever, bringing in $2.3 million last year, according to a report filed Sunday morning with the Federal Election Commission.

The super PAC, National Nurses United for Patient Protection, is affiliated with the nation’s largest union of registered nurses, National Nurses United, and its members have been a near-constant presence at Sanders’ rallies.

George Soros donates $8 million to boost Hillary

George Soros in December donated $6 million to the leading super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, marking the return of the billionaire financier as among the biggest givers in all of American politics.

The massive check brings to $8 million the Hungarian-born investor's total 2015 giving to pro-Clinton groups.

The super PAC that received the $6-million check, Priorities USA Action, raised $25 million in the second half of 2015, according to a report it filed Sunday evening with the Federal Election Commission. The haul brings the PAC’s tally to $41 million for the year, and left it with a strong $36 million in the bank headed into the year.

God I wish O'Malley would drop out so bad. We need a substantive debate between Sanders and Clinton.

I like Sanders but Jesus fuck some of his supporters really are trash.

If I'm trash for pointing out that the leading Democratic nominee is misleading people and not acting like a true progressive but instead more like an out of touch Republican, then so be it. Sorry not sorry. She's a liar with no spine and I don't think she would win the general.

Really now. You think everyone in a certain group will be the same?

How about we talk about issues and how her super pac just got around 8 mil from Soros while at the same time I see those who support HRC keep saying how she's going to be hard on wall-street.

Sure sure.

So they sanctioned 1 debate for the NH primary, where Hillary is getting smashed right now, per Clinton's request, but no other debates per Sanders and O'Malley's? Lulz

How old are you? Is this baby's first election?

I'm not huge fan of Hillary but calling her a cunt really doesn't help your cause. Neither does the Paultard like obsession with ideological purity.

If I feel like Hillary is a cunt then I will call her a cunt. If I feel like Donald Trump is a wretched piece of filth ass hole then I'll call him that to. I'm in the war room on Sherdog dude I'm not always trying to convert people rather than just trying to vent in a way I might not otherwise be able to do in my everyday life. And if I was trying to convert somebody to Sanders cause then I would make a well thought out well written post about it as I have done numerous times on this site.

She's a proven liar who does nothing but take corporate money and I'm allowed to be a little pissed about that. Wash the sand out of your vagina champ.

For not being progressive she sure has a lot of support from progressive politicians. Why is that?

I think you are also a little frustrated by the chance that she might win the nomination and not Bernie, but dang man common to claim she is close to a Republican is dishonest.

The funny thing is most people can't even identify what Wall Street is currently doing that today is so bad and most people also don't know how investing money works. Let alone how the creation of wealth works. It says a lot when members on this forum who are well educated and work in Finance don't fall for the radical and dishonest lies which is that "wall streets model is fraud". That in itself is a complete cheap shot and dishonest.

It also is dishonest when people think that a individual people donating from the corporation that employees them somehow means set candidate is 'controlled' by set entity. Hillary standing for Obamacare, equal pay, maternity leave, raising the minimum wage, and criminal justice reform along with reduced college tuition payments are a lot to help the poor, working class, and non-elite rich.

Very true. Bernie's own campaign has asked supporters to stop being such assholes.

Ok then. Keep being an insufferable little twat and turning off people you might otherwise make common cause with.

You hear that blade? Bernie wants you to stop being a huge asshole. I think you should listen to him.
