I sympathize with your situation and disagree with your last eight paragraphs stevenleser May 2016 #65

That is incorrect. The electorate wants outsiders; they are ready to vote for them. Not so, 2008. snowy owl May 2016 #71

No they don't. Bernie is losing and the GOP field was weak and didn't go after Trump early enough. stevenleser May 2016 #74

Bernie entered late without name recognition. 2008 very different. snowy owl May 2016 #76

All that doesnt change the fact that in a year where there is a movement for change, it prevails. stevenleser May 2016 #79
