In 2007, a year or so before the primaries of 2008 began, this was what people were saying:
- Hillary is unbeatable
- America is not ready to elect a black man
- Obama is too far to the left to ever win the nomination, much less the election
- Hillary has too many endorsements and too much money for anyone to challenge her successfully
I kind of agreed, even though I supported Obama from the start. And I was pleased to have been proven wrong.
Now here it is, a year or so before the primaries of 2016, and this is what people are saying:
- Hillary is unbeatable
- America is not ready to elect a Jewish man
- Sanders is too far to the left to ever win the nomination, much less the election
- Hillary has too many endorsements and too much money for anyone to challenge her successfully
I kind of agree.
But boy, would it be great to be proven wrong again.

If I read the letter he sent me correctly, in the last cycle he got 400k donations at an average of $33 per donation, or $13.2 million dollars. That’s not chump change. And he’s drawing crowds way beyond anything the others are managing.
The main issue is whether the Democratic Party will LET him run as a Democrat. If they’re really set on Hillary, he’d have to go independent. And that’s a really tough way to go.

I would definitely NOT support him as an independent. We don’t need another Nader.
