The logical reason that Bernie will win.
Alright, here it goes.
So in 2008, there was an election in which an outsider ran against some well known and established politicians and he won because he ran on a platform that preached endlessly towards CHANGE and HOPE.
He promised the people he would work with them to get their needs met. He was attacked and smeared much in the same way Bernie is today. But there was a great wave of discontented Americans that carried him to the White House.
Who were those Americans? They were the progressive youth of our nation. They were the majority that voted him into the white house.
Now, let's look at the present day. And this part is very important. That generation is still here, they're a bit older and there are thousands more progressive youth that has joined them. For the most part, they're not entirely dissatisfied with their choice in Obama.
But remember this, they didn't vote for Hillary, and they weren't moved by any other message.
Now we have Bernie and he's appealing to the very same people that Obama had enchanted. Also take into consideration that Bernie is doing better than Obama did at this same point in time.
Now ask yourself the following question and you should come to the same logical conclusion that I have.
-Since that same majority that elected Obama not only still exists, (they've grown larger) why would they vote for a centrist moderate that they didn't vote for the first time round?
I mean, that logic is clear as day to me. The older generation has moved on, the younger has gotten bigger and they're becoming more politically involved than before.
How would that ever work in favor of Hillary?
And sorry, polls mean nothing after seeing what CNN was capable of doing. Scrubbing their poll results after the debate, scrubbing pro-Bernie/anti-Hillary comments, etc...
That alone proved that we're in an era where corporations are literally attempting to control the freedom of information. And in the favor of Hillary.
Remember what I said about Biden? Be wary when the powers that be are choosing a favorite for you. You can eat what you're served if you want but not me. :/
Either way, the generation that voted Obama instead of Hillary is still here. They're bigger than before and smarter. They exist. I feel like it's honestly as if they're the elephant in the room that Hillary supporters aren't really thinking about.

Go Bernie!
Go Berners!
I seriously applaud your fortitude. 
Obama got anywhere from 70-90% minority support and Hillary's numbers are about the same. Bernie is getting about 10% from the same groups.
Somehow to the OP and the person you're chatting with, that means "Bernie's a better candidate" or has "enchanted" the same people who supported Obama. I mean what else can you do but laugh. HARD. 
As loathe as I am to cite DU as a reflection of real-life political realities, apparently the OP has missed the fact that many, MANY, posters here who have been staunchly anti-Obama for years are now Bernie supporters - so much for the notion that BS is "enchanting" Obama supporters.
The fact is that it's the consistent Obama-bashers here often cite the fact that BS is NOT Obama as their reason for supporting him.
But as you say, what can you do but laugh - really, REALLY hard!
because she's just way better at this than I could ever hope to be. 
I am a solid Hillary Clinton supporter this year.
<---- That's your logic.
that government would be controlled by the people themselves.
therefore they could not be oppressed. all that regulation and control over production would be based on what society themselves choose, why would society themselves choose unfair practices and such?
nevermind i'm not repeating this point any further, I'm talking to a wall and it looks like we're just going in circles here. you just keep repeating "oppression" without explaining how.
thanks for your time. 
That's the logic. 
At one point I did a transcript search and he said it repeatedly. Yes, he's running as the anti-Obama, and he knows it. I imagine he also know that he can't possibly win the Dem nomination. That explains why he hasn't bothered to declare as a Dem, but why is he running at all?
Primary voters have lost faith in the era of Washington insiders coming out to bend their ears.
Senator Sanders is on track for a second round of journalists "discovering" his campaign. His will be the one where crowds of enthusiastic people come to hear talk of Progressive values, and a Progressive platform. He'll be engaging with the voters, and the journalists will once again marvel at it all.
And of course most prominent journalists aren't total idiots. They're fueling this upcoming narrative by the manner in which they're covering the primary contest today. 
I was a very disgruntled Gen-ex'er who returned to the political scene to support Obama because I thought he could actually beat the republicans. After 8 years of a horrible Bush presidency (that turned the war machine up to 11) we needed to act boldly and put an adult in office. We did that and despite some issues (ACA is not medicare for all, the drone thing is really not cool, etc) we at least stopped the hemorrhaging. I don't want to return to the years of Bush or Clinton (NAFTA, repeal of key portions of Glass-Steagal etc). We can build on what Obama has done and make improvements with Bernie.
