Re-Thinking Bernie

The 2016 election comes down to this: how much people really dislike Hillary Clinton (and Bill)?  Bernie is not much different from Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, but he isn't Hillary.  How much will that matter?  As of today, a fuckload, but by this summer?  Could Sanders get the nomination?  Sure.  Likely?  No, Hillary is the institutional favorite until she starts losing bigtime.  Would Sanders win the general election?  Sure.  Over Trump?  Yep.  Cruz, Bush, or whoever?  Absolutely.  Sanders is a politician, mainstream and boring, just like Clinton, but the best thing Sanders has going for him is he not a fucking Clinton.  Will that be enough?
