    Hillary was comfortably ahead for a majority of her time as a potential nominee.
    However, there *is* an obvious favored media spotlight for certain candidates - which she was given from the very beginning. We'll never know what could have been if that spot had gone to Bernie instead.
    Maybe he would have lost fair and square, maybe it wouldn't have mattered.. maybe he would have crushed Trump in a few debates and gone on to win.
    We'll never know, and that's what I personally had a problem during the 2016 election cycle.

      From what I have seen, they all seem to be backing Biden 100%, much to my dismay. At this point, Biden needs to step down and they need to nominate "Generic Democrat" in his place.

      @Kyle-xh4rn if you look at Bernie's record, you see that he's an Anti-America Socialist who praises dictators like Fidel Castro. Conservatives would've had an easy time scaring up support against Bernie and letting his natural stupidity do the rest. It's telling how Bernie had to lie to get support for his half-baked ideas, and he turned into a babbling lunatic when he had to explain his ideas beyond reductive slogans.

      80% of venezuelan imports are ilegal, the sanction didn't even cover 20% on the legal part. ❤ So no worries.
